You will be pleased to hear that I won \u2013 that\u2019s not to say that when it comes to the judging I will be placed first, it is the fact that time ran out and I avoided going in the bath. They\u2019ll either like me the way I am or that\u2019s their problem! Actually, if I\u2019m being honest if they don\u2019t like me and place me last of the five they are assessing that will be my problem as I\u2019ll be upset, but my Mistress says they don\u2019t actually tell us where they place us. I\u2019m up against stiff competition. Not only that but the others all have youth on their side, well except Orson he\u2019s not so young anymore but he\u2019s still younger than me.<\/p>\n
Ari and I have travelled down with my Mistress and stopped to see my grandparents on the way. It\u2019s always nice to be spoilt by Granny and Ari has a particularly soft spot for Grandpa. We\u2019ll see them again later too, as my Mistress has had to borrow a screen from them to project the presentation onto and will need to take it back. Ari is looking forward to seeing two of his half brothers, but I\u2019ve tried to explain to him that today is not about playing together. He\u2019s there to work and has an important role to play for the breed. To be honest I don\u2019t think he was listening. It\u2019s at the same place we had the fun day last September and he\u2019s been reminiscing about the fun he had. He\u2019s going to be a very disappointed puppy. He had hoped to see his sister Dora but she can\u2019t make it which is a shame. At least he\u2019s a humble dog, so if he does get placed above me he won\u2019t make a big thing of it later. He\u2019s not a bad dog to have as my best canine friend, although I still miss my old friend Elvis, but that all seems a very long time ago now.<\/p>\n
