We need to start by saying well done Buddy (Alfie Bangwood) for his win of Best of Breed for our breed at Crufts yesterday. It\u2019s the second time he\u2019s won Best of Breed which is pretty good going. Then he went on into the working group in the big ring. He was against all the other working breed winners and boy did he do himself and his human proud. Not only did he look wonderful, but they were called out into the final selection. What an achievement. It was pretty good for Swiss breeds as while with the Bernese and the St Bernard getting to the same stage. Anyway, although he didn’t win the Group, he did marvellously well for our breed. He and his human do such a good job for the breed in the show world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mum has promised that I can have another go next year. I\u2019ve\nsaid that if she will take me to a show to qualify then I promise to try really\nhard to do all the right things when we\u2019re there. She really isn\u2019t very good at\nshowing and then when I cause trouble too, I can see it all gets a bit stressful.\nIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m supposed to do, it\u2019s just that sometimes it\u2019s\nmore fun to do something else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hokey Cokey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mum thinks Alfie was trying to do the Hokey Cokey (in out in\nout) on Friday night. When she got into bed, he immediately decided it was time\nto go outside again. He didn\u2019t do it once. He did it six times. By the end of it\nMum\u2019s temper was a little frayed and she had to put him on his one lot of\nmedication that she hadn\u2019t yet put him back on. It wasn\u2019t even as though he\nactually needed the toilet when he did go out. It just shows you how hard\ndementia can be. He had no idea what it was all about. Mum had no idea. He\u2019s been\nfine since so I suppose we\u2019ll never know. It does help me to understand why I\u2019m\nhaving to sleep in the office. I guess if I\u2019d been reacting every time he asked\nto go out then no one would have got any sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
