Julie, today was one of the most spectacular days we can have in Central Florida: 72 degrees, clear, crisp, see-forever weather. Hope it holds for next weekend.
My agenda today had me shooting Toy Poodles at 9 am, Rotties at 9:30 am and Dobes at 10 am. Not in adjoining rings! I did a lot of running.
There are times I sit and think about how I'd love to spend a day making images of old barns, or indigenous Florida landscapes. Just set up my camera on a tripod, figure out the exposure, click off 3 exposures for tone-mapping/HDR and then drive off to the next spot to do the same. I might never get paid for that kind of work but I'd really enjoy the pace of it.
In comparison, it's off to one ring to shoot 2 dogs, off to another ring to shoot 5 dogs and then run real fast to catch 3 dogs before they stop showing in Winners in the Dobe ring. Puff. Puff. The photography is only a small piece of this action. The key is getting there and in position to get something!!!
Can't wait for you and Dot to get here. Safe flight.
Jim

Dot is there already. She went down with the handlers. I'll have to grab her up on their way back from FL. So, go look for Grahm and Jan and ask to meet my super special Dot. I'll be there Friday evening and CROSS ALL YOUR FINGERS AND TOES she wins on Friday before I get in town!! I promised them a big dinner out if they would get her done!! She won't be worth much after I get in town as she will be looking for me. It is only an 1.5 flight, but, about an hour drive on top of it. Which is fine! I am excited to be in FL. A quickie vacation  Go see my Dot. I miss her a lot.
