<GASP> So, THAT was what the judge was thinking to do to my first bitch who was hurt on the table two years ago! It was probably not the same judge; it was an AKC show.
It is precisely what she did, and I can't believe I didn't realize it until now. Hind leg......same description. When the bitch screamed loudly she said that she was "trying to keep it from falling off" (the middle of) "the table". I just thought she was a completely dangerous idiot. I don't know why it never occured to me until now (duh.........but VETS check patellas not judges??).
