busy weekend

We have quite a busy and stressful weekend.

We went to Discover Dogs on Saturday. It was great fun, eventhough I wish we have more time at the show. The last time we went there was 3 years ago. We have an invitation from the Kennel Club to demonstrate Sing in one of their rings showing the Best Tricks. We didn't get to Earls Court till 10:40am and we have missed the morning events. I went around shopping for the dogs and to say hello to some friends. After a quick coffee and a snack, we decided it is time to settle down somewhere to watch the programmes. We saw the demonstartion of Golden Retriever, amazing demo, amazing handlers and amazing Goldies. Then we have Mary Ray and her dancing dog Foxy. Mary Ray is so well known and of course the stage was absolutely full and cheers. Then, my favourite, agility! The ABC (Anytyhing But Collies) were exciting and I was surprised to see so many Kelpies there. I knew Kelpies are getting more and more popular in the agility world for Large dogs, so do Shelties!! After the ABC, they have Medium dogs agility, I was surprised to see some of my mates are in the ring, it is always excited to see someone you know competing. After the Medium agility, they have a break to have Mary Ray again, this time, she has her little sheltie Gypsy with her, not doing Heelwork to Music but to demonstarte how to train your dog. Little Gypsy is so cute, here is a photo of her doing her trick:

After the training with Mary Ray, they have the Small dogs doing a Circular knockout in agility. This is even more excited. Very sad (for me), all the shelties has been knock out by Poodles!!! Not even a sheltie is going through. Oh well, better luck next time.

Sunday, I thought we are going to have a good lie in but we have to go and see this Lightweight Caravan in Tunbridge Well. The dealer from Stafford has a road show for 2 days and if we miss it we have to go to Stafford to look at the caravans. Anyway, it was very disappointed, the caravans are so tiny and they fill things up and there is not much room in it. How are we going to put 2 adults and 5 dogs??? I think we have to somehow get someone to fix the jocky wheel to this old one.
