I got my new copy of the Waterlog yesterday. It is my breed newsletter. Included was a supplement of how I should measure up for a show judge. I had lots of fun trying to chew the tape my 2llgd parents tried to measure me with. The end result was I measure up. Yet I am the top end but all the ratios are there. My length to height ratio were perfect. My tail is was the correct length measured against my hocks and my chest is the correct distance off the ground based on my size. My paws seem to meet the criteria but they did not give extra marks for white front socks. Eyes, eyebrows, nose and snout all seem to be perfect to what they describe. But I am at the top of the list in size. I am just in the list in overall size but there is no fat on me, SUM and SAHD make sure of that. Maybe this summer I will do what my breed was meant for-SWIM.     

Yes I know I am a Portie. Yet one day a year I allow SUM and SAHD to dress me up so they can show off. Not allow but tolerate.

On a side note still not sure if I cracked a nail or damaged a web. No doc required just some TLC and allot of tea tree oil. A couple of visits to the table for look sees but no hair dryer to blow my paw dry for a better look. I have heard the word OFF several times but the hair on my paw tastes so good. Cannot be too bad as I am not wearing a sock or a plasma bag to protect one my best features. Before I once had to wear one to protect myself on walks. A great tip from my Doc was the plasma bag. Heavy natural rubber and held on with a Velcro strap to keep my paw dry on wet walks. May look funny but the sound it made as I walked was interesting. But I did and still do get all my mileage in. Looking forward to the warm weather and maybe a dry backyard. Plus SUM's broken wing is getting better so she is at the other end of my lead more often. Poor SAHD he gets to be the caddy, carry the water and the bags. And with the weather going the way it is water may soon be a must carry.
