<p class=MsoNormal>Norm reporting in!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We got here in Delaware OH yesterday and the three peeps
went scurrying around setting up our portables fences to keep us safe and
provide us with a panoramic view of the comings and goings at the dog
show. After an afternoon of sunning ourselves (a bit cool but perfect
basset weather), we had our dinner and Stachie and Lena went up to the square ring
and competed in a puppy match. A puppy match is like a mini-dog
show for puppies. Anyway, they did good and Lena even got to
compete in the Puppy Hound Group.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Today, we kind of slept in (at least for a dog show) and
didn’t get up until 8 AM. After breakfast, we had a visitor ---
Auntie Susan came for a visit. She came last year too but it was yucky
weather then. She and Mom and Granny Pat yacked a while, then we all were
ready for a nap while Stachie and Lena went to play dog show. Auntie
Susan went into Large Marge and helped Mom get us in our crates and give us
cookies. Stachie and Lena got spiffed up and went off to the
ring. When they came back, they had RIBBONS! STACHIE WON
TODAY! He got Winners Dog and Best of Winner for TWO POINTS. YIPEEE!!!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Then there was an UNOFFICIAL MEETING OF THE UNOFFICIAL
REDNECK BASSET HOUND CLUB OF CENTRAL OHIO back at our set up. All
of the basset people came back to eat Mom’s potato soup and sit around
and talk. We got lots of pets and liked seeing all of the peeps talking
and laughing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Tomorrow Stachie and Lena and I get to play dog show VERY
EARLY in the morning – we are the first dogs in the square ring at
8:30. That means we have to get up at 6 dark o’clock. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>More reports coming!<o:p></o:p></p>
