Have kept the purple so you may see if being changed back and forth at some point, haven’t decided yet!!

It looked a bit scary to start with but Mummy showed me what to do and it was so much fun! I didn’t want to get off.

Everytime I get on it Mummy gives me something yummy to eat, I think I am going to enjoy this.

A good run though and no hold ups at the Dartford crossing for a change. We arrived in plenty of time so off I went to get my catalogue when there was an announcement to say judging was delayed for half hour due to an accident. Fair enough but it meant waiting in the car (the warmest place!) for about an hour!! Our rings were outside which I don’t mind at all, gives us a bigger space for them to move. Freezing cold though!

A couple of breeds in before us but it didn’t take long. In I went with Maya and I was surprised she won as her competition was really nice. She did me proud. Then Ava went in on her lonesome, a few absentees unfortunately. There were daredevil pigeons who would not bugger off out of the ring and Ava was on point! She wanted them out of there! The judge had to step in and scare them away before we could move!

Having both girls in the line up I had to get Mum to handle which she absolutely refuses to do normally. We had no choice this time so in she went with Ava as she’s the easier of the two to show. I was 100% expecting Ava to take BOB as she’s more “together” at this stage but to my amazement Maya took it and Ava RBOB. Maya played up on the final run round too so pretty shocked (but pleased!)

Had to hang around for the group now. Unfortunately nothing in the group but never mind.

Thankfully no traffic probs and a good run up. Chatting away to people I hadn’t seen in a while and then you turn around and it’s nearly time for your class!! Maya’s first show in Post Grad, scary! The competition was fantastic and her having just turned 18 months we weren’t expecting anything. Never mind!! Nothing for Ava either in her first Limit class but you never know if you don’t go!

Ava’s Mum got 2nd in Open though and her half sister took the RCC. 

Went to see our friends at the Bracco ring but they hadn’t even been in yet so were all off doing their shopping. Luckily bumped into some of them so time for more chatting.

Went shopping but didn’t get anything. Decided to leave relatively early for the long drive home.

The lovely highway agency thought they’d kindly close the A14 so diverted us down the A1 instead. Great, another hour added on to our journey. One of those days you wish you’d never bothered!!

Today just a short journey of 1hr 15 to Luton show. We weren’t in till 12pm so a nice lay in for a change!

A really good entry of Spinoni and again, some lovely exhibitors. Really does make a show so much better when only the nice ones are there!

Both the girls did middly in their classes but can’t complain!! They showed well and that’s all you can ask.

Really, really pleased my lovely friend Sharon took BOB & BP with Ava’s half brother, well deserved!

Chatted, chatted and chatted, again, a great day!

Had to hang around for quite a while but found one of our lovely friends to chat too. A lovely day, nice judge, nice bunch of exhibitors for a change!!! Ava did really well, coming second to the gorgeous BOB bitch so pleased with that.

Whilst waiting for the Stakes we saw a gorgeous little Griffon, what a character!!

Wanted to stay for the Stakes classes we were entered in but it was such a long wait that we decided to go home mid afternoon.

Good day but not one of my favourite venues.

Oh my goodness, she was driving like an old woman but she said it’s because there was loads of the white stuff around, I just fink she is getting old and doddery. She turns 29 at the end of the month, that is soooooooo old!

We made yellow snow when we got there, hehe!

We sat with a lovely lady who turned out to be the Mother of a lady we love in our village, yay, got loads of cuddles! Then had to do some work and pose for ages, Mr Judge man gave Mummy a yellow rosette which I think means third place. Then my sis went in and she got a green one, haha, yellow is way better than green!  Then my Aunty Deb came along, she works there dontcha know so we got even more cuddles!

Lunch at long last, I loves my lunchies! No rest for the wicked and off we went into another class, this time with a different man, he was very nice and gave me a lovely big bright red rosette, Mummy seemed very pleased with that then Ava got one too but it was yellow again.

I had to go back in again and I ended up with a massive rosette, Mummy was so happy with me and said I got Res Best AV Gundog, there woz tons of other doggies there with me but they didn’t get a nice rosette like meeeeeeee!

We then went for walkies in the white stuff, I love getting it all stuck to my beard, I look sooooooooo pretty!

Home and din dins and then we went to beddies.

That silly Ava took up all the room on the back seat so I had no choice but to lie on top of her but she didn’t mind and we slept the whole way there.

When we arrived Mummy got the nasty brush out again, it’s so boring having to stand still for so long. I always try and run away but she always catches me

I love the bit where we go and see all the other dogs and then some human will look at how beautiful I am, Mum calls them a judge and I like to give them a kiss when they aren’t watching. We then have playtime when me and mummy run round but she’s really boring and tells me not to run too fast or jump up but it’s so exciting I can’t help it! Mummy was really happy with me and gave me loads of cuddles as I got 2nd, I think I should have gotten 1st though, how can anyone be prettier than me?

I had loads of cuddles from Mummy’s friends and had playtime with my Nonie friends too. We went for a walk after that and I saw a really fun looking pink fluffy thing which I tried to take home but Mummy made me put it back. I heard her muttering something about me ripping it up but I didn’t understand what she meant.

I think Mummy was falling asleep as we went back to our car then. I wanted to have more games but it was time to go. I don’t mind because I love the car, it is so cosy and warm in there.

When we got home I ran straight up to my bedroom and went to sleep on my bed. Mummy says it’s actually her bed but I know it’s mine and Ava’s really.

Mummy joined me and we had cuddles with Ava too. What a fun day, I can’t wait for the next time.
