Sunday 9 August 2009

What a great time we had the week we went down to Jans.
I went down on the Thursday evening got there about 9pm tired after the long journey, had a coffee and chatted till the early hours.
On the Friday it was all go getting the things Jan had ordered for the picnic and the barby then starting to prepare them and get things that needed cooking cooked in between seeing to the dogs, we decided to have an easy meal in the evening as we didnt have time to stop, so I nipped to the chippy, my god were they good.
When we had finished feeding our faces I went and help Jan with the dogs, that was a long tyering day.
Not to late to bed as we had to be up at 4am to go to the show at Uttoxeter.
Deepha (Bonvivant Coup De Foudre avec Zodantta) came second in Open Bitch and first in Veteran Bitch was graded Excellent she won reserve best bitch at the Northern BSD Champ Show under Mon Michel Griol.
On the Sunday was the BSDAGB Champ Show Deepha won Open Bitch was graded Excellent again by American Judge Sharon Redmer.
One of the highlights of this show was that Deepha's sister Cher (Bonvivant C'est Chic) won Best Veteran in Show.
After the excitment of the weekend on the Monday we all mucked in getting the picnic food ready for Tuesday and making sure we had everything ready for the barby on wednesday.
Tuesday afternoon we went to the beach at Scagness there was 7 people and I think 10 dogs
it was great Deepha and I went a walk up the beach she thought it was great.
After all the dogs had had a blow out on the beach we went back to the cars for our picnic which I think everybody enjoyed sand flies and wasps didn't dampen the day thats part of having a picnic isn't it.
On the Wednesday lots of us jammed into the kitchen to help Jan take everything out to where the barby was, there was loads of food of different sorts it was super there was a agility course that everybody could have a go on, Deepha enjoyed herself on that, Steve Hughes did some fun obedience later on, and the barby was going all day and into late evening.
It was a great atmosphere, and Deepha and I realy enjoyed it.
