    I will say entries for the regular show are over 3,000 dogs. 3,800+ Wed, over 4,000 Thursday. Friday is specialties so hard to determine (a specialty is just one breed competing, but there are multiple specialties). Unheard of entries for any show in many years.

    Lordy, that sounds like the Eukanuba!!!!!

    Been to that zoo twice.

    Anyone have a berries and cream flavored juice turn to berries and cheese?

    BARF

    I like stinky cheeses, but I'd prefer eating them vs vaping them. This went from a lovely juice to one that just leaves the essence of stinky fromage au merde on your nostrils.

    It is Eukanuba but Eukanuba is no longer sponsoring it. It is now the AKC National Championship sponsored by Royal Canine. Will always be Eukanuba to us though. Eukanuba is sponsoring the National Dock Diving championship, so they do have a big display.

    Keeping it vape related, I already filled a few tanks and put my little vape bag in my purse. Won't forget that! :blush:

    @tj99959, what years were you there? We have been doing it since it came back from California. Ever see the vendor Gear to Go? That's us! We might have met and don't know it!

    Oops, off topic again. I did have a spare mod in my purse, just no tank/juice. But I survived, all is well. Never want to do it again though!

    Yeay @Debadoo you got your craft stuff from storage. You must be very happy :)
    Jup! Very glad I got some of it. Still haven't been able to make anything......never found the box with the adhesives, and need to get some simple green to make some stamp cleaner. At least I have plenty of VG now lol (that's one of the ingredients, and had gotten a tiny bottle of humeco from WM back then). I did have one bottle of one of my most used adhesives, but it is now nowhere to be found. Gotta move the vacuum cleaner, a huge pile of lights, then pull the couch out to see if maybe it fell off the tv tray I put the puter on and rolled under the couch. My son has been to wm several times, but still hasn't grabbed a bottle of that glue for me o_O

    Doant yew DARE blaim me fur missinspellin werdz Woeman. It wuz YOOOO!!!
    so there. :)
    what misspellin?? no idea whut yur tawkin about........J-U-P is exactly how ya spell Jup! :p

    Yay! You got to the storage for your stuff! Woohoo! I had appt with RA Dr this morning. Went very smoothly so I'm happy!

    thanks hun. and yay right backatchya! Glad the visit went smoothly!

    Luckily hubby's RA went into remission several years ago but went into gout :(. Luckily he's able to control that with diet.
    oh that's great that it went into remission........not great it became gout, but yeah diet can help control that a lot. My son's dad has gout real bad. He could just about live on tea and nuts, and of course those are two things he's not supposed to have at all now with the gout.

    $70 just in parking fees! Plus booth rent is $1800. Yep! Normal vendor fees are 200-400 depending on the show and the number of days.

    I will say entries for the regular show are over 3,000 dogs. 3,800+ Wed, over 4,000 Thursday. Friday is specialties so hard to determine (a specialty is just one breed competing, but there are multiple specialties). Unheard of entries for any show in many years.
    that's horrible, both for the booth rent and definitely the parking. but wow......great on the # of entries!! Is this one going to be televised on the weekend? I found a replay in the search from October 20th this year, but not seeing this one. I so wish I could set the TV to just record any and all dog shows.

    Yuck!

    JUP! Coffee headaches are awful.

    That's great news. Hubby had RA for years and back then they only treated it with mega doses of aspirin which eventually caused permanent ringing in his ears. I hope you are able to control yours with something safer.

    I take Methotrate, Celebrex as needed, & get Rituxan infusions every 4 months. As of last month it's been 20 years since I began having nonstop flareups. Like it came in, sat down, & made itself at home. I'm ready for it to move along.

    But being a vendor there is no leaving early..







    Lumping some of these together. During the week in the regular Orlando clubs shows. No spectator fee but parking is $10 and good luck finding a spot. They are shuttling people from other parking lots. The big show is Saturday and Sunday. Yea, then parking PLUS $20/head to get in. As vendors we get passes for entry but we still have to pay the $10 parking fee. Every day. $70 just in parking fees! Plus booth rent is $1800. Yep! Normal vendor fees are 200-400 depending on the show and the number of days.

    I will say entries for the regular show are over 3,000 dogs. 3,800+ Wed, over 4,000 Thursday. Friday is specialties so hard to determine (a specialty is just one breed competing, but there are multiple specialties). Unheard of entries for any show in many years.

    Enough of the dog show lesson. I made it through the day. I was very frugal in the morning and actually developed a headache. I don't get headaches. Come noon I went and had a nice vape session while walking dogs. Headache went away. The afternoon I was busy braiding leads, my hands were busy so not as hard. I think the hardest part was knowing I was limited in my juice on hand. All better now back in the motel. And we had a good $ day. :thumb:
    Glad you made it & had good sales! Yay!

    Too much cheesecake in the mix.

    The first one (2001) 15" Beagle, and again in 2006 (Dec) There were two shows in 2006. 13" Beagle.
    We showed that little 13 inch girl in specialties up until she was 10 years old.
    This was her at age 10 at the Beagle national. (went BO)

    Add:
    She was one of those pups that you keep because if you place them, they will just bring them back saying "here, you deal with this monster"

    Believe it or not, she wasn't all that bad in the field. Not FC caliber, but better than most show dogs.
    Last time I took her huntin' the VG would have froze solid in my tank!

    Anyone that says show dogs can't hunt doesn't know how to breed Beagles.

    Beautiful! I fear we have never met because that was before our Eukanuba time. Not Gear to Go, though. Went to the dogs from computers in 1996. Yea, 20 years!
    Gosh, it makes me sad to hear nary a drop of optimism regarding the deeming regs. I'm feeling as though there's reason to hope. No hope is just not acceptable.

    I still have hope. When we loose hope we have lost the battle. I think there is always hope. Slim as it may be.
