At the Westminster finals, Grace didn't place, but she and Mr. Darcy competed and looked really, really good! Especially impressive considering Darcy was very sick earlier in the day—so much so that Grace was looking for a different dog to show. Grace thought the two of them showed as good as they could have, so she was really happy with her performance and thrilled to have a chance to compete in the finals.
Everyone is safely home now, and a great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone who helped and supported Grace out there—she had a great experience and is looking forward to next year.
