Now that the celebrating is finished it is time for my thank you speech.

A heartfelt thank you to "Team Burdon"!
Emily who did much of the grooming and most of the handling,
Shannon who spent hours grooming and prepping me and handling me when Emily was not available.
Justin who helped Shannon groom me and made sure I was "exercised" when I needed it.
and of course to Graham who provided backup when no one else was available.

I also have to thank my mistress Robin who helped bring me to the shows and kept my feet grounded and never let me forget that I was first and foremost a puppy and a pet.

I must not forget mum ("Fergie") and dad ("Monty") who brought me into this world and of course Judi and Blair who introduced them.

And last but not least the many judges who saw fit to award me:
2 Winner Male
6 Best in Breed
2 4th in Group
1 Winner Puppy Sweepstakes
2 Best Puppy in Show
on my way to becoming a Champion.

I've paid my dues
Time after time.
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime.
And bad mistakes ‒
I've made a few.
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through.

I am a champion, my friends,
And I'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
I am a champion.
I am a champion.

(With apologies to Freddy Mercury and the rest of Queen)
