Hi, Liz,
Our handling instructor tells us that we haven't gotten enough
experience until we fall flat on our faces in the ring; then it must be
true! LOL! I loved this story.
My own moment wasn't half as interesting, but equally embarassing for
me. Some might remember me at the end of the line of 12-18 year old
bitches (about 24 of them?) at the National a year or so ago, paying
close attention to my bitch and NO attention to the line....which had
moved all the way around a large ring without me. There stood I gazing
adoringly at my bitch until I looked up to see the smiles.....OH DEAR.
