Tired, I then got up early the next morning as soon as it was light out took my bike and rode in 5 + miles to the convention center. Most of the way was on the bike path but the last bit was through town on the sidewalks. No trouble at all, Indy is very friendly to bicyclists.
Boy was I wiped out, some friends of mine (vendors of jewelry) happened to be setup right beside me and insisted on driving me back to the fairgrounds- insisting that they would pick me up each morning and deliver me home each night.
It's been working out great and I'm not totally wasted from riding.
I caught whatever Peter had but not as bad, I ran a slight fever but no diarrhea, just a bit a nausea. It's been going around, the scissor sharpener guy has had it for 5 weeks off and on... I'm sure we caught it from him at the last show where we saw them. Oh well, such is life!
The cockers are a delight to watch, there are so many different colors, and they are such happy little dogs. The show ones have very long coats that float when they prance around the ring. The ones that do agility are cut short and the coat curls and the ears flap as they run. Each are so cute... very different looking from the one I had 35 years ago, the ears are longer and lower set and the noses are shorter and the colors are multiple!!
The show will be over tomorrow, we're doing ok sales wise, not as good as the Sheltie national in CO but better than the Aussies. There are about 400 dogs entered, many breeders have shown up but there are not many people from the coasts, mostly from the midwest. There are some people from England and Australia and Japan (a couple of each) but otherwise a very small national.
