One Aunty, Two Cousins & Three Dogs

Regular readers of my blog will know a bit about our chocolate Labrador, Ruby. She was bred by a lady called Diane Garrett, who has a daughter called Kelly. Kelly was a school friend of our youngest daughter Hannah, and runs a dog grooming business called Ab-Fab. Each year she organises a charity dog show, and for three years now we have attended this event, along with Ruby, who has won the occasional prize.

Lots of "doggie people" attend this event, and of course, there are dogs of all shapes and sizes there too. Just a few of the breeds I saw this year were:- Weimaraners, Dachshunds, Spaniels, Terriers (of various kinds) Great Danes, Labradors, Setters and a multitude of mixed breeds too!

Classes include Puppy Class, Rescued Dog, Nicest Eyes, Waggiest Tail, Bonniest Bitch, Handsomest Dog, Veterans, Pedigree Dog, Mixed Breed, Scruffiest Dog, Best Canine Couple, Dog the judge would most like to take home and Fancy Dress etc. etc.

This year Ruby managed a prize in the Dog with the waggiest tail class, but the outstanding dog was a little Shih-Tzu called Macey. Yes, that's right. You haven't mis read it! MACEY - one of Hannah's dogs.

She managed to win a prize in every class she entered, and along the way collected two firsts!

By now Pixie had had enough of the cold wind so decided to shelter
