WBSDS

Had a good day judging on Saturday. Weather was very kind. I had over 440 dogs to judge and not a single Border Collie. It was interesting in a different way but I am very biased and think I prefer to judge BCs or WSs. Some of the Belgians and Tervs were stunning, but I think of them as collies inside with similar temperaments. But a good day after all and to crown it all Mike won Gd 5 Lg jumping. Thought at first that made Kizzie GD6 as she alrerady had a win in novice, but after consulting with the Oracle Mr Gilbert, Kizzie still need one more win. Wont be long the way they are working. Jackie with Del and Mike with Kizzie have both won their classes at the same shows so maybe at Shrewsbury they can both go up a grade. No pressure.
Betsie is now slowing down. Saving her energy for the growing pups although not showing yet apart from her nipples. Now at the half way mark so they will be here before I know it. Two more shows and then horror of horrors nothing for five whole weeks. Mind you I think I will have rather a lot to do during that time. Thought I might decorate the kitchen If I get a chance.

Breaking news

YESSSSS! Betsie and Del Boy have been and done it proper. Today's scan showed five lickle heartbeats beating away strongly, not bad for two first timers. The official birth of the Mylickle Pack is due 28th May.

My affix is now official, so look out for the Mylickle dogs in the future.

On the agility front, Tigi and Kizzie with a bit of help from their two oldies, Anne and Mike, have also qualified to join Del and Del, (Jackie and Mark) in the Laser Knockout Pairs Final. Great fun, but we're still puffin' a bit.

new email

I have now gone onto broad band. It is a bit faster than dial up but in the sticks it really is not much. But I suppose I can do more surfing than on dial up. New email is a-neave@sky.com. Betsie is doing well, full of herself and sooooooo confident. Wish I was competing with her now. Dont know if she is preggers yet. Will have a scan done on our return from WBSDS show. Hope it warms up a bit. Am at Wallingford also. Think need to pack lots of woolies and wet gear.
