BON CHEW,
guess what? Last sunday we drove to Rennes, the capital city of Brittany… for a show.
…this time we got no time for the judgement nor the numbers of the rings…
…and therefore we all came at the same time and that caused some traffic jam at the entrance… butt it wasn’t that bad so I could say hell-o to all other pups…
…BUDDDYYYYYY! … oh naaah it’s just a cousin, butt very nice…
…and then we hopped in da hall and parked our butts next to the ring with the GSH, because they are always with us and before us…
…butt not this time, we had an eggs-tra ring and fortunately a friend came over and told the mama that she better should spit in their socks because it’s her turn… NOW! …the mama gallopped over, furgot to ad my show leash, ran back and finally we stumbled in da ring like haunted by furies….
…and from that moment on efurrything went downhill…
…I was in Oscar the Grouch mode and the judge could not touch me, although she had a lot of patience with me… I acted up, bucked like a horse and jumped like a billy goat… I think the technical term is un-cow-operative…
…. boy that was no masterpiece of dog handling…
…at the end I’ve got no-judgement judgement … that’s not really what we hoped for…
…and this time no one grinned or laughed they all felt sorry for the mama me…
… butt fortunately the mama loves me anyway…
…although she hoped for a mothersday gift that day and looked a little sad… such a crapola after she worked efurry day with me…
…butt I promised to buy her a gift at Prada, that’s anyway better than just a ribbon… and it will bring da smile back to her face…
…see… I was right, ha!
…and the dad will give me his credit card…
… even when it makes him cry…. needs must when the devil drives, right?
…later the mama of Calix came over and together with the pawrents of Milonga and Glizenn we celebrated our non-win with 87 k calories…
….. to da 87lbs of belgian wafers with chocolate my dad bought candy cotton, so the whole weim-crew was on the way to enter the M.A.S.H. tent because of a sugar shock…
…after all I had a blast with da Milonga and da Glizenn…
…and we say Congrats to Chantal and Lara Croft who won!
….oh and btw…. a celebrity was there too….Dennis Rainbird da undertaker from Badgers Drift…good timing , it was a kind of funeral for the mama… her ego and her dignity are now buried in Ring 33 of Park Expo Rennes…
…and as we drove home I had the feeling that day was not wasted… we met old friends and we met new ones, we had snacks&beer and we saw a lot of dogs… and a day with dogs is anyway NOT a wasted one, right?
…ohhhh and wait … the mama said that it was her fault too, because she was nervous, fidgety and totally over da top, so she made me nervous and therefore I was as crazy as a box of frogs … that means I have to buy her no gift but she has to buy one for me…. there must be order, right?
…and hey we anyway won something at that show… I won a tick what hopped on my neck and therefore I started a scratching pawty…
…and the mama made a super deal instead of 50 cents the man at the coffee stand gave a canadian dollar… that makes 0.65 euro cents… not bad huh?… only 99999 shows to go and we have the moneeh for a new car, yay!
HAVE A TROUBLEFREE TUESDAY ALL
Easy Blog 
da Phenny, you are and the mama, so lovely and did a great work, no matter who wins, but this is your experience and I am sure you will win next time. I loved to watch you both, I wished to see more show from you, I don’t have any idea about this kind of contest, but you can dance with your mama next time.. And as you mentioned, there is nothing wasted in this travel, I can see how enjoyable time you had. Thank you for sharing with us too, Congrats for you all, you are my winners… Love, nia
Awww !! I hope you and the Mama have better luck next time.
Well, at least dere wuz snacks!
Everything you do is an adventure, Da Phenny! Maybe you are a distant cousin to Vidock?! And just like our #1 loves Vidock no matter what, your parents love you too. That is how the world should be!
Woofs,
Tommy
Ah, at least the journey there must have gone well 😉

Oh dear, all the journey and then a crumble. Still, you managed to find the pawsatiffs (and a tick), so not all bad, as you say. I do know that some owners hire showring pals to handle their doggies in the rings, just because it is too stressful to do it themselves. A few more of those CanDollars might be able to hire such help??? Naaah, rather you work together on getting better. Imagine the satisfaction! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
That was quite an adventure again, Phenny, but you will Always be a nomber one for us and for your peeps. You did just fine, walking in line and looking at the…distractions, I think that’s good🐾 We love the picture with your mom, it says it all ❤ Pawkisses for a wonderful day 🙂 ❤
Looks like a pawsome FUNS day out and that is the bestest WIN WIN evers!!!!!
Loves and licky kisses

Oh Phenny you did look magnificent at the show even if it was a “no go”…..purrrhaps you are meant to be a lover and not a show dog??? You and your Mama sure looked sweet together consoling each other – love is a wonderful thing even if you don’t win the show. Those snacks looked pretty tasty though AND beer?? That soothes the difficulty of losing I should think. Maybe next time you and The Mama will have better luck!!
Hugs, Teddy
After seeing that Weim at nose work this weekend, we can really imagine how your show went. That guy was wild like you!
Sounds like a fun party!! I know the mommas pain, when Riva was a young whipper snapper we went to a show in Canada and she did the whole broncing buck thing but thankfully we were friends with the judge and he laughed at her antics. Like I always say “another day, another show” 🐾🐾
At first I was like, “When was I at a pup show, when did I see my little bro, Da Phenny in the furs?” Then I thought, “I must of had to much to drink and don’t remember.” Oh that would of been grand to be there to cheer and bark you on. But the cousin Buddy was luckier than me. You still looked like you had a great time and as far as momma and I are concerned you are #1 and really that’s all that really matters, what your friends think and we all think you are THE BEST Wiem in the whole galaxy.
Blessings,
Buddy
All you can do is give it the good try Phenny! And that is what you and your Mama did. I think you will do better and feel more comfortable each time you try. We love you here and and your Mama and Dad love you to bits!
At the end of the day brother – you tried. And that’s all that can be asked. You try and try and try and then one day – BOOM CHAKA BOOM – you win the big prize. I have faith in you.. XOXO – Bacon
try harder, fail better right? hahahaha
Maybe next time they will add a ribbon for bucking like a bronco and you’ll be a paw in Phenny!
Aww, Phenny, you just have a lot more growin’ up to do, and learning to control yourself. When you do that, you’ll be top dog!
You deserve a trip to the meat store!
Da Phenny I can tell you right this very minute if I was in a room full of hissy and spitty kitties I’d be just like you. I don’t know how in the world one can maintain concentration with all those pups BOLing. As The Kinks said in 1965 Set me Free.
Hugs madi your bfff
Oh and 99.9999999% of any show is how handsome you are and D.P. you scored 200 on handsome and tell you momma we loved her outfit
This is a clear BOGDE: Best of Group Devil Evil, Phenny! Concats!!!!
That wasn’t Phenny. It was his evil cousin, Phoney.
OMGoodness, P. Your parents are the absolute BEST sports! I love how they keep at it and never get discouraged. You keep them on their toes for sure. I would LOVE to see you in action at one of these shows. You are a RIOT!
Love and licks,
Cupcake
I takes a lot of courage for you both to do this! I think the seeing friends, being with a bunch wonderful other dogs and just the excitement…the wafers…life is good isn’t it?! You, the Poppa and Momma can be proud. Getting great times together and making memories!
Oh well….a day out with friends and food. Rather FOOD and friends…that’s wonderful. Who needs a ribbon…bah! (Maybe you should be like a Saint Bernard and wear a little cask of Brandy for da mama, to calm her down.)
PeeS We always watch Midsomer Murders…over and over
I think you should have won Most Spirited and been given a ribbon along with a cash prize! I’m sure having to rush over to the ring was the biggest problem. You’ll get it next time. ♥
So, if we understand this correctly, you were all ready and knew exactly what to do and your mama was nervous like a box of frogs and she hijacked your good concentration? Yes, we that that is what happened. She owes you big time!
Stopping by for a visit!
Murphy & Stanley
Your experiences at shows are always eventful. We hope someday you and your momma can relax and do well in one. Keep trying Phenny.
Even if things don’t go as planned, a good time can be had by all! Your parents made the best of it, and there is nothing like good friends and lots of sugar to make up for a rough day!
WOW Double stacked dogs! (Whew – wouldn’t want to the the one on the bottom…that one must have been the bad doggy sometime HAHA)
Dogs just wanna have fun – and despite the plans of dog and momma not matching, it looks like a fun time anyway!
Oh Phenny – i’m glad you took your mom to prod her to make her happy after such a tough time in the ring… she really did smile after that!
We think, even if there was no judgement, you had a fun time with your pawrents!
xoxo,
Jake, Arty & Rosy
A day with friends and food is always a good day!
hugs
Hazel & Mabel
Oh Phenny, I thinks you and your Moms did FABulous, cause you gots to spend the day togethers with furiends and family! That’s a win in my book!
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Oh,MY!
Phenny I have to admit that this time petcretary was giggling…but she thinks that all the love you have for your Mama and dad are way better, cause you have won big time there!
Save the Canada ‘loonie’ (What we call those dollar coins, because there is a loon on them), for when you want to come and visit furends over there:) But let me know so I can get out the passports we have here to visit with you…since that is where petcretary comes from:)
Phenny, I love you, you are so special! You used a word “crapola”, it is very near a Finnish word “krapula”, meaning a hangover. Did you know that?
hahaha that fits… but the krapola came the next day hahahahaha
You’re gorgeous. Get a bit older and wiser then you make it.
We think you are a star no ring can contain!

Siddhartha Henry =^,.^= an LadyMum 🙂
Oh Phenny…just remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day and this was good practice for the next time. Keep after it, okay?! You’re always a winner with us. 🥇
Oh Phenny, we just know that one day soon you’re gonna be the beau of the show and take home all the blue ribbons. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
You little bucking bronco, are you allowed treats in the ring? Can you teach Phenny the wait command or something to teach him to stand still and shove treats in his face? I like the time out to take a scratch. he’s young yet you guys will get there, keep up the good work and giving it a try.
