They are always playing and truly enjoy hanging out together.

They end up covered in spit, tired and happy. What else is there for puppies to do?

The show site was wonderful although very loud.  The Hampton Coliseum [ http://www.hampton.gov/coliseum/default.aspx] is very easy to get to with a ton of parking. Having air conditioning on a very humid day is great to have.  The clubs involved:  http://www.gloucesterkennelclub.com/ {The Gloucester Kennel Club}  and http://www.langleykennelclub.org/ {The Langley Kennel Club} were wonderful hosts. I did not see nary a problem and there were a large group of vendors at the show.  The facilities for the RVs were well organized and the open and reserved grooming areas were well situated within the building.

Too bad we had to drive three hours to have a great time but it was worth it!

Vesper!
