Here's my lovely gazebo (and Blake's bottom!) before it got bent out of shape (the gazebo that is!). We have been having incredible weather of late - scorching temperatures and none so hot as last Saturday when we competed at National & Working Pastoral Breeds Championship Show under Breed Specialist Pearl Chetwynd.
I set up my gazebo to give us some shade, only I forgot to peg it down and I think the 'only' gust of wind in the entire day got hold of it and sent it up into the air! It was only Blake, Louise & myself grabbing it that stopped it flying across the showground & hurting someone, whoops! It buckled so badly I left it in the bin - shame, I really rather liked it!
Have I mentioned it was hot? Ah yes, I think I did. Anyway, so hot that Salo trudged around the ring, but it didn't stop him winning his junior class :-) Nobody told Sisko it was hot, she breezed around the ring, moving beautifully as usual and she was rewarded with Reserve CC! :-D This is her second Reserve Best Bitch this summer, the other was under a Finnish Judge at Southern Counties, but unfortunately we are only allocated one CC at that show. Sisko is in lovely condition for a 9 year old, slim, healthy & in splendid coat and it's an absolute delight to show her. It was all rather apt considering that this day would have been Smuu (Sisko's Mother) 15th birthday - I hope she was smiling down on us.
The puppies are just WONDERFUL - so interactive and getting really cuddly - just love them!
I have finally updated my website with photos of the pups at four weeks and added their five week weights. New photos to follow soon. The visitors have started and the weekend was spent socialising in the garden and playing with puppies from sun up til sun down!
