    with you all.. I also went to the show this weekend, and I was
    helping our very own Elaine Trachman with her 3 babies.. and I ahd
    left my "Pookie pictures behind and she brought thme in for me
    to pick -up.. (I know, I know..but I am  PROUD KITTY MUMMY. AND
    I also know you find this hard to believe, but POOKIE is  a
    ham.. she loves to pose for the camera) any way.. we have a Morris
    AWARD WINNER HERE..ELaine's little baby won the award.. 
    congrats to Elaine and her baby..I saw the Award in her office..
    and I asked her if she was going to share her good news with us..

    everywhere.. Iespecially fell in love with eileens fusci's
    tonkinese,, such beautiful eyes.. and also, "the wegie",
    the exotic shorthair..(cin.. they lok like a POOKIE without
    the fur..I also saw a younger Pookie looklike..anyway.. Elaine will

    Kate,
    
    That's wonderful about Elaine's kitty!!!  But which one?  She had
    three of them there.  
    
    Silver did wonderfully, too.  She finaled in 4 out of 10 rings.
    2 10th best shorthair, 1 3rd best shorthair, and one 7th best allbreed.
    I was, needless to say, THRILLED!!!  We are going to go to the Plymouth
    show on the 26th of March.  Hope to see everyone there.  
    
    Holly
    
    P.S.  It was nice meeting all of the noters at the Concord show.
     Now I can put some faces with names.

    Silver did so well.. such a beautiful baby!!!!!
    
    re 2..
    Hi Elaine.... I did not intend to steal your thunder... so to speak..
    that  is why, I did not mention Katenka-Dolly-Zhivago Cat by name...
     meowr... :*)...
    Regards
    Kate... Pookies mom...
1159.4Thanks to Auntie Kate!EDUCA8::TRACHMANThu Mar 03 1988 12:5213
    Worry not, Kate - It was such a pleasure having you there most of
    the day helping with the kids - they always like having a new 
    auntie!  They asked me last night if U were going with us down
    to Guilford CT, Plymouth, MA, Portland, ME, Torrington, CT, and
    Cranston, RI ???  They also said to say hi to Pookie!  
    
    Holly, Silver really is beautiful!  A very sweet baby - Tabby is
    a little doll baby also - you may want to try her at a show 3 or
    4 months from now just to see if she reacts better.  Try a one
    day 3 ringer - a real quiet show that's close by.  I wonder if
    Tabby took Beastie lessons from Lara???  
    
    Still a very proud and smiling Mom!
1159.5AUNTIE HAD FUN TOOO..AIMHI::MCCURDYThu Mar 03 1988 13:2812
    Elaine.. it was my pleasure.. I had soooooo much fun......!!!!!!

    nite..as in SNIF,SNIFF, SNIFF..snifffffffffffff..WHOhave you been
    with.. is that another kitty that I SMELL....sniff.. sniffff....
    but at least she did not have a tantrum about it.. I have a friend
    that has a dog.. and when I come back from visiting.. I usually
    fail the POOKIE SNIFF TEST.. AND SHE IGNORES ME FOR HOURS.....!!!!
    TEE-HEE...and talk about your tantrums.. not to mention the fact
    she will not even take a treat from me.. anyway more later..
    regards

    RE: .3 and .4.  
    Thanks Elaine and Kate.  Kate, it was really nice meeting you at
    the show.  You are TRUELY a kitty person.  I figured that you would
    be bringing Pookie home a friend for her birthday for sure.  Although,
    we all know, Pookie would rather have the money.:-)
    
    Again, congratulations to Katenka.  She TRUELY is a beautiful cat.
    (Although, I must admit, I think I liked Pasha better. :-))  We
    are going to Bring Tabbatha to the next few shows, but we aren't
    going to show her.  We are just going to bring her to keep Silver
    company.  The looked SO cute cuddled up together in their kittybed.
    After she almost scratched one of the judge's eyes out, we decided
    to put Tabbatha's show career on hold for at least a year.  Maybe
    she will be calmer by then.  I couldn't understand it, though. 
    She is SUCH a love at home.  In fact, she fell asleep on my lap
    when I had taken her out to groom her.

1159.7Pashenka & Katenka - a pretty pair!EDUCA8::TRACHMANThu Mar 03 1988 15:1721
    Holly, Tab is really georgous!  You may try spraying the inside
    of the ring cage before you put her in - there are various things
    you can get - I had to do that with a couple of the kids until
    they got used to the scents of other kids.  
    
    So, you like Pashie better huh?  Funny, I just called the Dr.Brody's
    office to check on the boys, and the woman that answered the phone
    told me that there would be only one kitty for me to take home tonight
    - SHE was going to take Pasha home with her.  She said that she
    went up to his cage and he flopped down on this back and started
    singing his heart out!  That little guy is something else.  I have
    big news for that lady at the Vet's office - her pockets will be
    empty when she goes home tonight!  My little red boy goes home with
    ME!  He is a love - I sure wish he would stay out of the garbage
    can and the fridge!
    
    Hey Kate, I'll pick you up at about 6:30 am for the Plymouth Show!!!
    Bring your checkbook so you can do some serious kitty shopping...

    regards
    kate
1159.9how does 5 am sound??EDUCA8::TRACHMANThu Mar 03 1988 18:2213
    Welllll, let's see.  We usually arise at about 5:00 or so - fill
    the coffee thermos, pack the cooler, pack the truck, wash all
    show kitties faces and paws, load kitties into traveling crate.
    By then it's 6:15 (that's a.m.) - we try (and I do say try) to
    arrive at the show hall by 8 or 8:15 - Plymouth is March 26th,
    which is a Saturday.  If you want to toodle down later on in
    the day - no problem - or if you can't make it - worry not -
    it's only a 4-ring show!  It should be slow & easy - I call
    3 rings a sleeper; 4 rings is a pleasant time.  Maybe think
    about the Portland Me show - that's real close.

1159.10WAY TO GO LADIES.AIMHI::OFFENMon Mar 07 1988 15:1624
    Ok gang, now it's my turn to `sing' praises.
    
    Holly,  
    
    Both Silver and Tabby are gorgeous.  I love black kitties and Tabby
    is just such a love.  Silver is so sleek and gorgeous except I expected
    to see a silver-gray cat.  I knew she would do well in the show.
    I was glad to finally meet you in person.
    
    Elaine,
    
    Katenka is gorgeous.  Of course she did so well.  Would you expect
    otherwise?  Pasha is gorgeous too, but Katenka reminded me of my
    DejaVu (BRAT).  What a face on that little beauty.  
    
    Does this mean that we now have to bow down to you two celebrities
    or just to your award-winning kitties.
    
    Keep up the good work.  WAY TO GO....
    
    Sandi (Lightning's & DejaVu's mom)
