Today, monday I'm just sitting and waiting for some action. Yesterday I was selling stuff as I was setting it up. Today it's very slow, I hope it picks up some.
Puppy classes going on in the ring today as well as other thing happening in other buildings. Lot's of RV's here, I don't have anything to compare it with so no data there. I have talked to people from CA, OK, TX and a couple of other states so they are coming in.
Hoshi is loving it, I leave her crate door open and she comes in and out as she pleases, of course on a long leash. Right now she is chewing the stuffing out of her "cat" squeaker toy. Literally!! The weather is beautiful, supposed to get up into the 70's today!
I'm driving from Ellen's house, it's an hour away but I'm waking up at 5:30 and leaving by 6am getting here by 7am and there are people waiting for me to open. The other vendors are not as quick as I, most of them came in by 8am.
The sales are larger than at normal shows... I'm selling more leather today, yesterday it was all about flags, they are very pretty and come in all the sheltie colors. I have not seen any shelties that look like my "christie" the sheltie that I had when I was pregnant with Rachel... she was clear red and white, these are all sable which means that they have black tipping on their fur. They range in size from 13" to 18" and some of them are so tiny they are almost nougat's size although I'm sure they are not "legal"
There is an old sheltie here that is almost pure white and is blind and almost deaf, I can see him cock his head to try to hear what's going on. He's in a booth across from me and is very patient with his people.
These are really high maintenance dogs, I can tell when they are show or just agility. The agility people strip the undercoat out so the dogs are not as rounded looking. There is continious washing, clipping and grooming going on. The sounds of the blow dryers are constantly in the background somewhere in the building.
