Vinny let out an excited squeal (Pavi's ears perked right up, and her tail started to wag with renewed vigour). Most were indifferent.Ī shiver of excitement crawled across her spine as the group sevens were led out of the ring. They'd stand out, though whether that was a good thing or a bad thing, she wouldn't know until the bitter end. She scratched Pavlova behind her pretty ear, noting that she was the only one she'd seen so far in a Northern clip. Vinny took in all the other Wilties that had shown up today - it was a big group, and all outstanding specimens. 'Thanks! We're gonna need it,' Vinny said with a smile, waving at her sister as Clem disappeared into the crowd, weaving her way back toward the grooming tables. It always took double the time to groom him than it did to polish up Monet, the other Wiltshire puppy currently in their kennel. Instead, he tended to get impatient and squirmy. Unlike his mother, Gonzo didn't have that wonderful talent of falling asleep on the grooming table. 'I better get started on Gonzo,' she said quietly, trying harder now not to disrupt the demure atmosphere of the show. 'Almost us,' she muttered under her breath.Ĭlementine nodded, folding her arms across her chest. Vinny took Pavlova's lead, watching the dogs in the show ring take their individual runs. Clementine was certain 45 minutes had to have been some sort of Wilty-grooming record. All because they'd spent ten minutes too long out in the dog park with the puppies. Sh'd trimmed back the tremendous growth of fur on her chest, neatened up her tail, and brushed it all about a thousand times. She'd shaved the slight fuzz off her ears (it had long ago been determined that she would be shown in the Northern Clip - because once those ears are shaved, there's no going back) and slicked her body back down to a flawless shave. Clementine had spent the last 45 minutes scrubbing every inch of Pavlova.

'Thank you, very helpful,' she told the pretty cream, whose tail swished back and forth like the lazy leaves on a coconut tree.Ĭlementine's hand shot out and passed the leash to Vinny as the group seven dogs completed their lap around the ring. The newly groomed Pavlova licked her nose tentatively, and then more determinedly as Clementine coughed and sputtered and pushed her away. And I need a minute.' Clementine doubled over against her knees, drawing in one massive breath after another. 'I have her! Don't panic! She's clean, she's groomed, she's gorgeous. 'I got her!' she said, her voice sounding like steam escaping from a fractured pipe. As he started to award titles, Clementine's voice hissed out in as loud a whisper as she could manage. One more group until it was their was turn, she noted as the watched the judge walk up the line, examining each dog one final time. She watched as the last of the group six dogs was drawn around the ring, showing off his movement and build. 'Doesn't matter,' she muttered to herself, hopping from one foot to the other in a way she thought most discreet (it was not). Or maybe it was an article she'd read at some point. She'd learned about it in one of her psychology courses in uni. Or maybe it was because she'd always associated seeing snowflakes with quivering in her boots. It was more from excitement than cold, of course. Vivienne shivered slightly as the snow continued to come down. I'm really pleased with how it turned out though! I've been working on it for like two days. Pavlova's at the World Dog Show! It's in Canada this month, so I HAD to participate because.
