Finally!
I have been working on these pictures for a couple of days. :p
Why?
Because digital cameras are dangerous.
I went to Hershey with an empty photo card that holds over 1200 pictures, and I filled the darn thing up!!
I have no control when it comes to taking pictures.
I had so many creative pictures that I had to make collages out of them so that I would not take up so much of my storage space here on blogger.
I forgot to write down the titles of the creative dogs, so I am going off my memory.
Warning...my memory sucks.
Below I have pictures of each contestant before, during, and after.
So here they are....ENJOY!

This had to be one of the most colorful Creative Contests that I have ever seen at Hershey.
It was a mad house as all of the contestants prepared for their presentations.
It was insane trying to get pictures after the contest was over.
I got the best 'after' pictures that I could.
Some of the dogs had different designs on each side, but it was very hard to get pictures of both sides on some of the dogs.
I hope that you enjoyed the pictures.
I will try to post pictures of the Abstract Runway tomorrow.
Happy Grooming, MFF
thanks for doing this! I watched on the computer but it was hard to get a good look.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
DeleteYou are so right. It is hard to really see everything on the live feed. With the still pictures you can really see all of the work they did. :)
Lisa, MFF
Thanks for putting these up! I was watching the awards on barkleigh yesterday, but I couldn't find anything on the runway! Can't wait to see what you did with Hannah!
ReplyDelete(love the animal and big bird! I want to try that one day when i have the patience lol)
Hi Kat,
DeleteYes, the Sesame Street one was great. The colors were SO bright!

Thank you so much Brittany!
DeleteThe title of the second place winner was the "Octopoodle". I watched online, what a fun show. Isn't Yoda just the cutest thing?!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhen she finished with the Yoda face and finally turned that dog around to the audience, everyone was trying to get a picture. He was adorable!
Lisa, MFF
Thank you so much for taking these pictures of Flash (Yoda) I did not get very many pictures of this quality of my groom and I really enjoyed seeing them. :) Thank you again. Jean Honsinger
