It's my granddaughter Jennifers 21st birthday today and we have just been to have a meal and a small party with her and a few of her friends that my daughter organised.
The meal was very good and so was the company, we had a good laugh and jennifer said she realy enjoyed it.
My daughter told jennifer that John and I couldn't make the party as I was at a dog show .
John and I got to the pub before she arrived so we could surprise her, when she came in her face was a picture so glad to see us, she was gob smacked eye's popping out of her head, well worth the white lie.

Over the weekend Deepha got her last 2 points she needed to get her Show Certificate of Merit the forms have been filled in and posted so it's now subject to Kennel Club approval.
She is a fantastic girl for her age nine and a half, still very agile lovely mover and powerful, I feel she is a credit to the breed like some that have gone before her. Thank you Jan for everything!
Deepha and my dream now is to see if she can get her other 2 challenge certificates before she starts to look her age.

Isn't the weather awful the garden has been flooded again with all this rain, tried to do a little gardening this morning as it's the first weekend I have been home for awhile , managed to do a little but rain stopped play. so took cover in my study with Kobra asleep on his chair it's nice and dry in here.
Show wise Deepha and I went to Grantham Open show and won 2nd so we left early and went to visit Jan.
While I was there I was very pleased to hear later in the day Lucy and Dana won the pastoral group (Bonvivant Sorciere) seems like the judges are beginning to notice a good dog when they see one and not just pass us by. Well Done Lucy and Dana!
On the Sunday I was stewarding for Blackpool Toy Dog Open Show at St Annes , they asked me about 4-5 years ago, I do it twice a year.
I realy enjoy stewarding for them they are realy a happy society always laughing and jokeing.
