Pictures Can-Am show Nov. 2009 Queenie Best Kitten Aphrodite 7th Best kitten

Vancouver B.C. Can Am Show November 2009 This was a Beautiful Show Site and Great Hotel!

Vancouver B.C. Can-Am Show:
Templeparlor Queen Hatshepsut, "Queenie" places Best Kitten six times! Thank you!! to Judges: Pamela Barrett, Don Caruthers, Elaine Hawksworth-Weitz, Connie Webb, Ellen Crockett for consistently loving my girl! Thanks to Judges Yvonne Patrick for Third Best Kitten, Bobbie Tullo and Vicki Jo Harrison for Seventh Best Kitten, Aline Noel-Garel for Eighth Best, and Lindajean Grillo for Tenth Best Kitten. Calm and steady like the female Pharoah she was named for, she looks regal and beautiful on the judges table.

On the way back from the ring I praise the the girls for their showmanship, as they snuggle their heads into my neck under my hair listening; Queenie on the left and Aphrodite on the right, so sweet girls. Queenie and Aphrodite love the judges table especially the attention, lots of love and treats after showing too!

Templeparlor Mighty Aphrodite placed twice in the Specialty Kitten finals, under judges Don Caruthers with Seventh Best Kitten, and Elaine Hawksworth-Weitz with Eighth Best Kitten! Aphrodite is such a beauty with her flashy color and markings and show girl attitude, this weekend she charmed everyone with her over the shoulder looks and upside down twisting cuteness poses!

Templeparlor Alexander the Great co owned with Patricia Ridenour beat his sister Queenie for the breed and places Sixth Best Kitten under Lynn Judge! Alexander got his rabies shot just the thursday before the show, so he was soo sleepy until Sunday when he was back to his playful self again.

What a weekend ! Thanks to all the Judges and Club members and fellow exhibitors for the great show and all the encouragement and support!

New pictures from the show comming soon!!

Queenie and Aphrodite at the Portland TICA Show 2009

Queenie and Aphrodite enjoy the shows, Queenie won in stiff competition total count up to 80 kittens.










But it's Aphrodite that gets talked about the most because of her beautiful color one judge called her a Chimera after the greek word for a being half lion and half eagle because she caries both sets of color genes. Both girls showed beautifully and really love the extra attention they get, they are just beginning at five months this is their second show weekend! Thanks to all the lovely cat show friends and their support Roma Anthony, Phyllis, and Pam Barrett!

the much talked about Aphrodite kitten here in her basket on the grooming table in Portland, she was always third but the most talked about exotic shorthair at the show. her sister Queenie won Best Kitten under the wonderful judge Elaine Weitz! and many other final placements... more to come about on safari in Portland...

for the record: my new favorite judges for the list are Steven Savant a fellow Southerner who presented Queenie second best kitten with this speechless awe and finally said, "Yes! She's all that! what more can I say!"
Well,I'm from the South too so I love this Louisianian man, it feels like home sitting beside his ring!
And Pascal Remy - the educational, informative: he gave me advice on my breeding program, and he's witty, funny, handsome and well dressed too! Thanks to Pascal for giving Queenie a fourth best and ninth best kitten in the finals! Also thanks to Laura Cunningham who placed her fifth but there was a steward mistake and so I didn't find out until the next morning on the way down the hall in the hotel from the steward! Thanks Laura you are so gentle with the kittens! Many Thanks to Alice Rhea for being so sweet with the kittens and loving every one she handled - she placed Queenie sixth best, and thanks to Ellen Crockett who placed her eighth best!
Most of all Thanks to Pam and the Portland club for a great show! Thanks dear friend Patricia Ridenour for being such a cool, smart, funny, cute, photographer friend and my personal paparazzi!
And last but certainly not least thanks to David Brunn aka D'Funn for being D'Mann and keeping us in style!
