    Grand....in the last show of the season no less!!!

    We on the west coast are ultra superspicious about bringing Champagne
    to a show, it always jinx's your chances of attaining your grand!
    ;^}
    
    Congratulations to the Pita, and it seems Birthday wishes are also
    in order.
    
    So, Holly, can you and Pita make it to Seacoast?

    re: 5
    
    The Cranston RI show was a 12-Ring "last show of the season"
    battle.  We were all so exhausted Saturday night we couldn't
    even move, let alone go out to eat & shop - the six rings
    were lined along one side of the length of the arena - I
    must have walked a million miles in the 12 hours I was there
    on Saturday and 12 hours on Sunday.  
    
    Anyhoo, Holly clerked on Sunday - I'm not sure if she clerked on
    Saturday also - she was a busy camper - she only had 2 minutes
    to have us sing happy birthday when her Mom brought out her cake!
    We had 200 cats each day - Saturday night I think it was 8 pm
    before we finished (??) - Sunday, after the Best of Best, I don't
    even know what time it was -  we had supper about 9ish when we
    stopped on the road - left to drive home to NH about 10:30 -
    got home around 1ish am - got to bed around 2:30 ish.....zzzzzzzzz
    
    I'm sure that for the next show Holly attends she will bring
    lots of bubbly, right Hol?????
    
2418.7Where are you...YOSMTE::CORDESBRO_JOMon May 01 1989 19:535
    Elaine, what happened....
    
    Are you still writing 2418.6?

2418.8REFINE::TAYLORHug me, I purr...Mon May 01 1989 19:5616
    Thank you everyone for the congrats.  Needless to say, I wasn't on
    cloud nine Saturday night, I was on cloud ninety nine!!!  I was SO
    thrilled that PITA finally got her best cat that she needed.  
    
    Now, as for the champagne, we tried!!  We looked for a package store,
    but couldn't find one.  We found out later that we were in a dry town. 
    Oh well, I promise we'll have it at the first show in September, OK???
    
    As for the seacoast cat show, when is it?  I may be there, but not with
    PITA.  It'll probably be with Seasea.  It all depends on when the show
    is and whether she's pregnant or nursing kittens.
    
    Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, too.  This truely is a special
    birthday.  PITA gave me the best present that I could ask for!!
    
    Holly
2418.9YOSMTE::CORDESBRO_JOMon May 01 1989 19:599
    Oh, Okay, you really were writing it.  I know the feeling of getting 
    in at 1:30 am.  We drove back from L.A. last night and I am
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ today too.  But, wasn't it worth it to not get any
    sleep?  After all, had you stayed home, you would have had to clean
    out the pool, or some other such task.
    
    We'll let Holly slide for now, given the circumstances.

2418.10Is it bed time yet???PENPAL::TRACHMANExoticSH=Persian in UnderwearMon May 01 1989 20:249
    re: 9
    
    Wellllllllllll.  Saturday wasn't one of Katenka's best days -
    she sure made up for it on Sunday - 4 Bests, a 3rd, and of
    course one we won't discuss !!  Silly judge has no taste!
    My baby girl went out in style (a note will follow in the
    near future - not now.)
    
    E.T.zzzzzzzzzzzz
2418.11REFINE::TAYLORHug me, I purr...Mon May 01 1989 20:3913
    Elaine,
    
    you got that note in before I got mine in!  No fair!!!  
    Yes, it was a tiring weekend.  I clerked both saturday and sunday.  I
    ended up leaving earlier than most people both days because my cats
    were finished early.  
    
    Glad I got off the hook for the champagne.  I'll definitely bring it to
    the seacoast show and to the first show in september (which ever one
    that is).
    
    Holly
    
2418.12Happy Birthday, Holly, again!!PENPAL::TRACHMANExoticSH=Persian in UnderwearMon May 01 1989 20:597
    Boy are you right!  I'm falling asleep on my keyboard!   The stress
    was something else! You must have been pooped!  Nice show - now
    we have 18 weekends off!  sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep!
    
    I'll remind you about the bubbly!
    
    E.T.
2418.13CRUISE::NDCTue May 02 1989 12:5027
    Boy that IS tiring!  I had lots of help on Saturday, but was all
    by myself on Sunday.  I don't know how folks do shows by themselves
    with more than one cat!
    
      Dundee was a real doll this weekend.  He squirmed for the first
    ring then behaved like a real champ in the next 11.  The only
    problems I had with him were when he'd decided that he wanted
    to stay in the cage and sleep.  I'd pick him up and then try to
    gather up my stuff and he'd run up and over my shoulder and try
    to get back into the cage!  Most of the time I ended up heading
    toward the ring hunched over trying to convince Dundee to stay
    on my back until we got to the ring.  What a sight I must have
    been.
    
      Dundee took a 7th best alter in a shorthair ring and a 10th 
    best alter in an allbreed ring.  He also took Best shorthair
    champion AND best champion in an all breed ring.  He finaled in
    7 out of 12 rings and took three best of breed ribbons!  If
    I've figured things out right he earned 36 points towards his
    grand this weekend.  I think I need 80 and a top 5 to make
    grand.  Well, he'll have 36 as soon as I get a clerical error
    about his coloring straightened out with CFF.
    
    We had a great time this weekend - Happy Birthday HOLLY!!
    and congrats to everyone!  (Cin -  I LOVE Tiger Lilly)

    Nancy, you only need 75 points and the top 5.
    
    Dundee looked very handsome this weekend.

    got to see him!!  He is a real sweetie!  soft & cuddly!
    
    Congrats on doing so well!

    Congratualtions, Holly!  I was there on Saturday as a spectator
    but didn't see you or your kitties :^(.  Happy birthday!
    
    Nancy, that's wonderful about Dundee - looks like you have a famous
    cat on your hands!  Congrats to both of you!  Will we see you in
    Worcester on the 21st?
    
    I plan to show my Ragdolls in the Framingham CFF show and am counting
    on all you show people for help!!

    Roberta,
    
    I saw you real quickly on Saturday as I was running by with a cat
    in my hand, I think....and then I didn't see you again!!!  Wish
    you could have come over and looked at Tiger Lily, Stripees sister
    who finaled in 11 out of 12 rings and took Best of the Best Kitten
    over the weekend.
    
    cin...who missed talking to you but was showing 5 cats in 4 different
    classes!!

    Congrats to Tiger Lily!  Looks like you produce winners, Cin.  I
    keep trying to get Karen to show Bailey but she is determined to
    keep that gorgeous face hidden inside the house.  I can't even get
    her to show him just once!!
    
    Knew you had your hands full at the show so I didn't push for idle
    chit chat.  Glad to hear your kitties are doing so well on the show
    scene.  See you in Worcester (wish I could show my Ragdolls there;
    the location is perfect!).

    Congratulations everyone! That was one show I hated to miss. With
    so many Noters showing and attending it was bound to be a fun one
    ....and I just knew E.T. was up to some mischief! :^)
    
    I was a home on 'marewatch' and I didn't dare leave for that long.
    My American Miniature mare was under strict orders to deliver on
    Saturday morning at 9 am. ...at 10 a.m. yesterday (Tuesday) Hobby 
    Horse's Miss Onyx gave birth to a 23" black filly ...mom and babe are
    doing great. Needless to say, I overlooked 'Shadow's' failure to
    comply with my 'scheduling request'!  :^).
    
    It's great that so many of our Noters are getting out there and
    starting to show ....and that we're getting a chance to put faces
    to some of our Feliner friends. From the show results it looks as
    though our new exhibitors are having fun ...and success. 
    
    Keep up the good work!!
