The ayes have it

Larsen poses after his win.  (2009)

Unlike the sequined Las Vegas Elvis-look that Larsen sported in his 2009 Greenville showing, Larsen today still looks like a rough kennel dog.  His elbows are stained red from resting on his concrete kennel pad.  His haircut looks homemade, despite Penny's wonderful intervention.  She at least gave us the broad contours of a dog.   But what can you do about bald spots that were cut away because of matting?

I voted not to take Larsen to Greenville this weekend, and Aki voted to take him.  The ayes are in the majority, and so off we go.  Once nice thing is that Susan W. will be there with her camera, and maybe we can meet for dinner etc.

Larsen's win at Greenville last year put him over the top and gave him a major and his championship.  This time, it is just a practice run, more or less, to get him into the show ring in the event that we take him to Nationals this year.  Of course, I hope he does well against the other 4 dogs in this match.
