Monday 2nd February 2015 – Crufts decision time

I’ve got a difficult decision to make. Do I want to go to Crufts? It’s from 5th to 8th March at the NEC in Birmingham. Now that Shadow isn’t pregnant our Mistress can go to do Discover Dogs and see Basil in the show ring. She’s asked if I would like to discover dogs. On the up side there will be loads of people and I like people, but on the downside there will be loads of dogs and I’m not so good there. Shadow wants to go so I think she will do Discover Dogs and get to support her son into the bargain, which seems fair. If you haven’t been before it’s really good. You can see lots of amazing dogs doing everything from agility to obedience as well as seeing them looking their best in the show ring. At Discover Dogs there are usually over 200 breeds to see, but then decide that we’re the best anyway. I’m going to have two pairs of tickets to give away in a competition which I will announce next Monday so make sure you’re reading if you want a chance to win a free pair of tickets. I’ll try to find out just how many Entlebuchers will be being shown this year too and when they will be in the ring so you can cheer them on. If you can’t wait and want to buy tickets you can get them here http://www.crufts.org.uk/content/ticket-office/ I just love this picture!

I had a great time seeing my girlfriend this weekend. She was pleased to see me too. We didn’t have to be close to each other the whole time, it was just nice to know she was there. She wanted to play all the time and I just wanted to curl up… or eat. Although to be fair, she’s quite keen on eating too. This is the two of us waiting for a treat. I met her new baby sister too. Amber is only three weeks old so didn’t want to beg for treats, but I was happy to share my Mistress with her as long as I could be nearby. Bella and her Mistress are looking after Amber awfully well.
