NO MONDAY MORNING MOP UP

 

We normally awake Monday mornings to a plethora of show reports and hours of catch up.  However, for the first time since beginning this blog, we have no Monday Morning Mop Up to do.  Our fantastic readers kept us up to the minute through out the weekend, enabling us to bring you same day coverage on all the shows this weekend.  Now that’s the dog show community we talk about!  Thank you to all of those fanciers who took the time to send us in reports.
