It was a great week for our group of friends.  Mendel and I may have come home ribbon-less (we were entered in Futurity, Sweeps, and the regular puppy dog classes), but we're just waiting to grow up a little... and grow some coat.  We'll get 'em next time. 

One of the best parts of the trip for me was the scenery.
