Sacramento Results and Vallejo this Weekend

So last weekend while everyone was enjoying the Nationals, I wasn't able to go, I did have the opportunity to show in Sacramento. I was hoping with Harvey off to Houston we could get a Breed win and Group experience. On Saturday there was a Harvey puppy boy, a blue open bitch, and Jacque Chapman had a veteran special dog that showed with us. Captain decided he didn't want to move at all on Saturday so his movement was bad but the ground a table he did fine. Jaque took breed and I was happy for her since I have not seen her in about 6 months. ON Sunday was the same group but Jacque did not show with her veteran. So just Cappy , puppy, and open bitch. Captain finally got his first BOB. This was of course after the wonderful C-Myst family had a great showing in Houston, Congrats to all. Captain moved much better on Sunday. Group was whole other story. Cappy does not like showing in the afternoon and after the long wait, we showed at 9, he was done. He did well in pose and on the table but I almost had to drag him around the ring. Plus the group judge was the breed judge from Sat.

So I need help or ideas on how to get Cappy moving better. Even in the morning he does not move all that well and I believe this is the one thing holding us back. I believe a lot has to do with me but I am now getting frustrated. SO please email me with suggestions if you have any, spons7@pacbell.net

This weekend we will be showing in Vallejo. I will not show tomorrow as I work but will be there on Sunday. Cappy has done well at this show in the past. On a great side note it sounds like Kathy will be there with Denali and Sage competing in Rally, and Amber who has Rosie (Cappy and Sage little sister from the second Wally-Hanna) is coming up to see everyone. Alden is trying to make it but with her mom still recovering might not be able to make it. So I will posy pics of everyone and results hopefully Sunday night.

Here are a couple of Pics, I tried the group video buy it did't work. If you like I can try to email it if you want. The Video uploaded to Facebook so check it out if need be add me as a friend. Trenton Sponsler.

Sacramento and Basic Updates

So this weekend Cappy will be showing in Sacramento, I decided to enter for a couple of reasons. 1 it is an indoor show and Cappy moves better on solid ground, 2 most everyone is in Houston at the Nationals ( We really wanted to go), 3 hopefully we will do well and get experience never know could be our first breed win and check out group. Captain is getting use to the ring now as seen by him almost trying to jump up on the table now. He seems to be getting used to it and is even starting to keep his ears up on the table. Makes me proud. We at 9:00 both days with the same count of 1-2(2-0). Not sure who the other special is. Major for us is 5 so if everyone shows and we can take breed that will be 3rd major. Personally don't care about the points would like breed. Plenty of time for points. I am hoping to finish his GCH before the summer. We are entered in a few shows between now and then. Everyone should come and show in Vallejo on June 9 to 12Th. It is a great cluster called Woofstock. I'll bring the wine.

In the normal world the family along with more family and our besties are going to Mexico (Puerto Vallarta) in last June. (puppies are going to brother Fig's house, Thanks Alden) SO in an attempt to get in shape for the beach and for I guess my health we have been going to the gym for the past 6-7 months. I really enjoy step class. I worked out with a trainer for a while and lost about 13 pounds and then only went here and there. I have kept the weight off but still need to lose more. This week I started C25K, that is couch to 5K. Using a treadmill or the streets you alternate walking and running for 9 weeks and at the end you are suppose to be able to run the 5K, 3 times a week I finished my first week today. Hopefully I keep it up. I have the app on both my Evo and Ipad2.

Ashley is slowly finishing up her first year at Patton College and Softball. She hie a great home run last week which was the first Denise and I saw in her College years. Andrew is in his Third quarter at UC Davis. Studying Poly Sci and hopefully law school after is first four years. He tried to be an RA for next year but was wait listed for upper class man. He will be renting a house with friends for next year.


That is all I will rant on about for now. Will blog, tweet, FB over the weekend with maybe some phone calls if things go well. Also on a side note Cappy got his first inquiry into his Stud Dog Services. Will be talking to a few people about it and I guess it is time to get some more books to read.
