Swiss Lick Swissies

IKC Show

We had a fun weekend! Well, I did. I went to the IKC show at McCormick Place in Chicago on Saturday. It was nice to attend as a spectator only, (well, sort of) so I didn’t have to stay all day. IKC is a benched show, meaning you must be there by the time you show, and you can’t leave until the end of the day (4pm, I think) or until you are dismissed, whichever comes first. I went to see friends, support the Swissies who were showing, and of course, shop!

The Swissies got the short straw somehow and had to show at 8am. I was there around 7:15am. I’m not entirely sure how that happened.

Here’s the very handsome Robert.

Here are a few more. Robert is in the middle.

Of course I found some cute non-Swissies to photograph…

This guy was showing in the ring right after the Swissies. Can you say adorable?

Gorgeous Dobe!

And this is Lars. Lars and I became very good friends.

I asked his owner if I could take him home and she laughed. I don’t know if she realized I was serious. I was. Can you tell I have a thing for blue Danes?

I know I wasn’t the best photographer on Saturday. I was slacking a bit. I spent a fair amount of time shopping without the camera. And of course, I had to talk to people–that’s a big part of the fun for me. I love love love talking to people about Swissies. Can you tell?

TTFN!
