Who would have guessed that all my Monstera needed was to be moved outside after spending winter indoors to show me her perfect variegation revealing she's actually a Watermelon Monstera?
My boy really stepped his game up today and not only went WD but also BoW. In BoB ring he showed his heart out to get our first owner handled points.
We had over a 5 hour break before OH Groups and he absolutely refused to nap no matter what I did - he'll usually settle and nap as soon as I leave out spot but when I came back after a few breeds he was still awake and watching everyone walk by. I tried covering his crate completely, letting him be out with me, being on the table, we even went for a drive which usually has him out within a few minutes, not a single wink.
After he fought through his exhaustion in the group ring (which the "big" ring was an experience itself for him), he promptly came back to our grooming spot to nap on the table.
