So where is everyone this weekend?

I am doing Wallingford for the first time and also my first time to Newbury - dreading the early start on Saturday so hoping the weather will hold.

I'm at Wallingford on Saturday.

There is a UKA show in Essex on Sunday and they are acception pay on day entries, so am considering doing that on Sunday.

Mand

Wallingford both days for me!

You should go to the UKA show Mand, could be fun! Greg is taking Susan along aswell.

i am doing wallingford, infact we are getting ready now, only live 5 mins away but taking the caravan.

judging the team dash on saturday so if in part one you will know who i am. say hi if you get a chance.

running the boys on sunday, should be fun, had no training this week.

Club show tomorrow, Scottish Border Collie Club show Sunday ( same place holds it in conjuction with our clubs April show ! )

Sure you will have fun Clare, Newbury is a good show ground. Just make sure Lolly keeps herself covered up!!

Wish I was going with you but have to judge at Dartmoor *sad* see you are Carn Brea next weekend.

Lisa

Oo i'm in part one and two. Think part one is the Jag team. So that's Toni and Kite, Lee and Bold, Me and Jag and Toni's Mum with her dog. It'll be quick if nothing else lol.

See you tomorrow.

Mand

Well i only entered on day at Wallingford and know I am gonna fancy a run or two on Sunday. Could train my contacts with Twix as well and put toy on the floor... hm. Didn't even realise there was one that close. But as they are taking entries on the day, I may well go along.

Mind you Twix isn't registered yet. Oops. So will have to do that. Think I still have Mika registered!

Am trying to convince myself to go.

Hm shall I or not.. oo hate making decisions.

Reckon i'll end up going.

Mand

Well I was going to work both days instead of doing wallingford, but now Im working saturday and then just sunday evening, so might do newbury on sunday, as ill be finished just after lunch hopefully. And I sooo need to practise tias contacts before shrews, lol.

Sounds like a good weekend for all then.

It is only the early morning putting me off Newbury but everybody says how good it is up there so gotta be worth a visit.

Lisa, Lolly keeping herself covered up - never happens does it...... *angelic*

Hi Lisa. Haven't seen you round here before ::wave::

As to this weekend, *sad* *sad*. Will be wondering what Wallingford would be like if I was there. Mick's grounded & his physio won't let me go out to play until next weekend. So it'll be lots of *housewife* for me this weekend.

Off to Wallingford each day (its only about 40 mins for me to drive so not really worth camping). Roger is working Saturday so I have his dogs to run as well but he might be able to pop in between jobs as the show is in the area he covers.

Teams Saturday and Pairs Sunday nailbiting

Claire - Newbury is ok.......but not my fav venue as its on the junction of a busy dual carriageway and a motorway!

Good Luck to everyone this weekend beersmilie

Regards Lorna waggingd

Didnt you guys win at WBSDS??

Walligford on the Saturday. Team run, we only had 5 for a missed weave entry in our team last time.

If you are not in Skaterboy's half of Team Dash, you will be in mine (or in the case of Mand etc you may be in both!)

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow as it's my first KC judging appointment as I only passed the exam last year.

Will just have to stop thinking about Rush for long enough to concentrate on my judging (just as well I don't pick him up until next weekend!)

Ah don't worry, I will remind you of rush when Twix runs in your part!!

Mand

Yep! Guess we are running NFC. But sh! I haven't told Twix's team that. And we haven't got a reserve so it's run with Twix or nothing!

The silly thing is there is virtually no chance that we will be at the final, so would rather have come 2nd and still had proper fun!!!

Mand

Good luck to everyone competing at Newbury this weekend :) I should have entered But I forgot.. I have such a terrible memory! xx

That's a shame, can't people make it?

I'm pretty sure it would be a matter of geographics - ie if people weren't intending to go to Dashin Dogs (living in Kent as they do) then it doesn't make much sense to haul all the way up there for the final on the Friday, only to then come back down to Peterborough for the KC International Festival ...

Last year I did Dashin Dogs - KC Festival - DiN and it took me a month to get over it .... it's a lot of driving ...

Really enjoyed Wallingford, classes are soooo much different than down in Devon though!!!, but was good and will def do more shows there. And yes Lisa I did keep myself covered up :P .

Was lovely to see (Harrjak) Mac and have loads and loads of cuddles with him, he's so gorgeous!!!!!

On another note, there was a dog at Ring 2 Sunday afternoon that looked like it had hurt itself quite badly and there was a vet looking over it, does anyone know it if was ok in the end (collie and had a very bright pink halti and was not a happy doggy :( )

Hi Lolly

It was Hoax bright pink Halti they just borrowed so the vet could get to see him.

I want to find out aswell if he was ok, Kobus (the vet) thought he may have slipped a disc as he had no sensation in his back leg at the bottom at all

Oh poor dog.....let us know if you hear anything. *doggiehug*

glad you liked him, he is rather scrummy isn't he but then i am a little bit biased, he does like his cuddles though, as i am sure you found out.

y xx

i had probs getting my new van ( all got now tho) so couldnt make dartmoor, so spent the weekend mainly in bed, out drinking, dog walking or in the shower.....all with a very nice young man! i shall say no more! but cant get much better a weekend than that really! (.....ok, maybe if i cud of dun the show ASWELL as everything else??!!!)

Oh blimey Gemma, thats what we were worried about when he was lifting the back foot off and then when the dog was standing it looked quite hunched when it walked. Its just so scarey when you see things like that and how easily it could happen.

And on a lighter note - Dirty Girl Chel!

No, please do tell us more, we're just dying to know! :P Spill the beans :P

Yer, but then think how bored poor James would be!!!

nah he thinks we're all barking anyways!

and the dogs are defo growing on him!!!! altho waking up with dead legs cos a goldie is sprawled on them dosent help me out much! hehe!!!

brief update then christine:
james, :wub: is 25, not ever owned any pets ( bar stick insects) so haveing to learn about the dogs from scratch! so far so good, likes harry they get on well, been seeing him for about a month now, seems a bit too good to be true, erm ,lives a far bit away tho...near bournemouth. nice motorbike, dosent mind the hour 15 to get to see me, more than happy about the agility side of me, even came and camped in cornwall and threw hiself in the deepend with all of that! jawdrop

Well if he managed to do that and is still around, he's spot on! *thumb* Keep us posted on this new love in your life. I'm always interested in things like that.....comes with being nosy! :P

blimmin fantastic, amazing etc.....ok may not be so believable then!

....so there u go!

Chel, I saw you briefly at Cornwall, but didn't see your new man.

I hope he wasn't the spiky blond guy with about 6 inches of his boxers showing before his shorts started???? Yeah, I'm nosy as well, and maybe a bit of a fuddy duddy too, but I like to keep my undies covered up. (Lolly, I know you like to show yours off, but .....)

Anyway, beersmilie :P

I'll second that - it was lovely to see him all grown up and get loads of cuddles from him. He is a real softie and looks stunning, a real credit to you. :wub:

Claire, I thought you were talking about James wierdoo

Not sure Gary would be happy about that :D

Oi Carol and Lisa!!!! I've been very good this year and everything's been hidden, haha but it is only the start of the year and summer's not really here yet, nor are the big black bugs!!!! :P
