Loki then beat his sister by the skin of his teeth in open and then took BOB. The judge was over the moon with both Loki and Bella and said she was splitting hairs between the siblings. A lovely feeling for Ian and myself as he owns mum and bred the litter and I own the sire .. Nico!

By lunch time I was feeling knackered and I begged Loki not to win the pastoral group .. but he went ahead and did it anyway, possibly the best group he's ever won! Funnily the group judge walked past me in the line whispering I'll be back to you and came back at the end giving Loki the opportunity to go round the ring twice .. lovely for him and me but a little uncomfortable maybe as she only gave the others the chance to go up and down. Comments where made that she may well have decided he was set to win early on, and it sure felt that way as she called him into the group 1 position almost straight away. As I was moving him up and down I was very uncomfortable as a Pyrenean Mountain Dog started to react aggressively towards Loki,

It sure did become a very long drawn out day and with so many of us fed up and knackered I'm sure the committee will reconsider the judging order for future shows. It was approx 6.30pm when we went into the BIS ring, as usually Loki's performance was faultless but it was not to be his day. Still the BIS judge said he was a credit to me .. which was lovely to hear. Thanks to everyone who shared the day ... and to Marilyn who said she though Ross was wonderful, she said she couldn't take her eyes off him in the ring, these comments mean a lot and help so much when you always do get to hear the negative comments too!

Today I've been shattered, I've not even walked the troops, no doubt we'll pay for it this evening. Ross and Kaiah will want to wrestle, and I'll just want to sleep, or watch TV. Here's hoping there's something other than bloody football on offer!
