Good News - Bad News

First the Bad News - The Sullivan shows were a disaster. I think the guys came down with Alzheimers and forgot most of what they knew. Neither dog qualified Friday or Saturday. We didn't even return Sunday - didn't need any more humiliation. Not to be discouraged, we went back to practices Sunday evening. Try again next spring.

The good news: New granddaughter - Bailey Lenay Garthoeffner - born 9/25; 9:24 a.m., 8lbs 4 oz. Mom's doing fine, Baby is beautiful, Dad's still on cloud nine, Gramps is all smiles.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is a beauty!

Sorry about the show....it will get better!
I think the good news at under 9 pounds of granddaughter outweighs the bad news at more than 150lbs of sheedpog.

Yay! Congratulations! :cheer:

Congrats on your Granddaughter!
Definitely that good news has to out weigh the bad!
I agree with Ron, baby outweighs failed shows by far! Congratulations!!

Congradulations on the new granddaughter! How lucky you are! Mom and Dad look like they are doing just fine. Best of luck to them.

Helen, Mom to Violet, China and Pearl
CCONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! She is BEEEEUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!

The puppers are entitled to a little stage fright once in a while!!!! You have come so far and done so much with them, don't let one bad day discourage you!!!
Congrats on your new granddaughter, George! I'd say it was a good way to even out-- the dogs bombed but you got a beautiful, healthy little girl!

150lbs of sheepdog


Try 190+! Barney at 101, Maggie at 91! Vet says put them on a diet to loose 10lbs. each.

Thanks all for the well wishes.
Congrats on the grandbaby. What a lovely little angel! Never mind about the sheepies, they'll do better next time :D
Awww what a gorgeous baby girl, Congratulations George and your entire family. Just so precious. :D

Never mind, better luck next time, I know how hard the next step is to the CDX, you'll get there in the end. :wink: There just going to make you work harder for that :D

Again congrats of your new granddaughter. :D
Sorry about the shows, but CONGRATULATIONS on your new granddaughter. She is beautiful.
Sorry to hear about the dogs, but I LOVE the baby!!!!! I have the itch for another one when I see pictures like this! :)
Congratulations, you lucky guy! What a beautiful baby.

There's always next year for shows. In my book, you got the best kind of luck in that grandbaby. The rest is just extra.
I'm sorry the dogs weren't at their best. I have had the same thing happen in the ring :lol: . They can embarrass you pretty good when they want to!

But big congrats on the granddaughter. The pictures are great and I hope all continues to go well. We love our granddaughter to pieces!
Congrats on the beautiful baby girl! She looks lovely and everyone looks so happy.

Better luck next time on the competitions. I imagine that an off day here and there is to be expected. :?

They didn't forget what they knew, they sensed her arrival and had their minds on the "big event". Their thoughts were, "I think "this guys" come down with Alzheimers. We should be home, not here." :wink:

They knew no matter how good they did, they couldn't top the arrival of a granddaughter. So, they rushed home to welcome her, and plan to win the next show for you, and her! :wink:

Congrats! She's so sweet!
Congratulations to you and the new parents! Baby Bailey is beautiful. Sorry about the show I'm sure it's disappointing. I'm sure they'll do better next time and you'll savor it all the more.

I love the sentiment at the bottom of your posts. How true it is.
Congratulations Grandpa!

Regarding the dogs: They wouldn't be sheepies if they always did what we wanted!
Congratulations, Grandpa!! :clappurple:

Definitely, the good news outweighs the bad. :cheer:

Who knows what goes through the mind of a sheepie? :?
CONGRATULATIONS on your new granddaughter!
Congratulations
