THE NIGHT BEFORE CHIEF'S FIRST SHOW
WE HAD PACKED EVERYTHING IN THE VAN,
MADE SURE WE HAD ALL THE *ESSENTIALS*
WE MIGHT NEED AND WENT TO BED AT MIDNIGHT,
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT DAYS EVENTS.
WE WERE PROMPTLY WOKEN UP AT 3 AM BY THE BUZZ
OF THE ALARM CLOCK, SIGNALING TO US,
THAT OUR DREAMS WERE ABOUT TO BE REALIZED.
WE WERE GOING TO OUR FIRST DOG SHOW AS EXHIBITORS!!!!
WE HEAD OUT TO THE VAN WITH BOTH DOGS IN TOW,
MAKING SURE THEY HAD A FRESH MARROW BONES TO CHEW ON.
THE DRIVE WAS GOING TO BE APPROX. 3 HOURS.
DAYLIGHT BROKE AS WE HEADED DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND APPROX.
AN HOUR BEFORE WE GOT TO THE SHOW A RAINBOW APPEARED, NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE!
BEING A BIG BELIEVER IN *SIGNS*, MY NERVES CALMED DOWN
AND I KNEW EVERYTHING WOULD BE O.K.
I WOULD LIKE TO ESPECIALLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK ALL THOSE PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVED IN US THAT WE COULD OWNER/HANDLE CHIEF,
ENCOURAGED US, HELPED US VIA IN PERSON, EMAIL OR PHONE.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
MAY THE *TRUE* FRIENDSHIPS WE HAVE MADE CONTINUE TO ENDURE......
