Well, in defense of Weezie, the judge had food, and was bringing it straight
up his middle, in a nearly perfect cue for a front.  (Although the sit front
ended up just a little crooked.)  Also in defense of Weezie, she had a total
geek on the end of her leash, who by that time had gone completely out to
sea without a paddle.  Said person also has not taught her a stand-STAY
yet.  (Stand, yes.  The Stay part?  Sigh.)  As always, I blame management.
I'll hold it together better next time.  I do also solemnly swear never EVER
to try baiting her with liver in a breed ring again.  She lost her
ever-loving puppy mind, and began leaping like a goat.  While grunting, by
the way.  OTOH, she had a great time.  So did I!!!

Thanks to National Capitol for a great day!
