With George being ill I blasted the stereo with some Robbie on the way there and got there in time to park in the far corner so my noisy dogs don't hopefully disturb the whippet lady!!!!
Sadly there was only 4 GSD's entered, 2 of English breeding and my 2 of German breeding/type. Ziva stood alone in her class and for the first time in ages she was unsettled in the ring. The judge spoke to her to try and settle her, but that made things worse I guess! Anyway she's been 10 times worse and I need to forget it and move on.
Mikey won his class and I think I'd have given up all hope had he not! The chaos for best of breed had me slightly embarrassed as both dogs wanted each other ... and wanted me at the same time. poor Mark was left to cope with a stroppy mummy's girl! Mikey rightfully won BOB ... though I must admit had Ziva performed she did look better than him today!
So a decision was made ... Ziva and Mikey will no longer be going to shows together, they are both too obsessed with me and each other. Ziva can go with Asha, and Jezi can go with Mikey ... or that's the plan of action anyway!
Nico came in to meet everyone, tail wagging of course. John and Joyce gave an opinion with the only negative comment being his feet and nails ... yes I need to brave the storm and cut them again! Tracy was smitten with him, which surprised me as I didn't think he was her type of dog. I guess he's just so unexaggerated that he appeals to many. Margaret and I talked for ages, she's breaking her heart to get back to Wales to live and I will be glad if she manages to sell up and move back. As she is judging in a championship show in 18 months she abstained from making a comment on Nico ... but made me promise not to re-home him ... as if!!!!!
Having already been referred to as Mark's wife earlier in the day I guess the tongues will be wagging as we had lunch together ... only joking I think people are use to seeing us together and mostly know better.
After lunch I sat alone in the leisure centre and suddenly decided I didn't want to be there anymore. In a room full of people I suddenly felt so alone! It dawned on me that though Id chatted and laughed all morning I really missed my "friends," so Billy No Mates decided not to stay for Best In Show. She got in her yellow van and came home!
