Paignton
// August 6th, 2009 // Showing
Paignton has moved both venue and date, hmm, obviously the lovely sunny weather – it is August – wasn’t booked, and seemingly the excellent ice-cream vans that used to do ice-creams with a scoop of clotted cream on top don’t frequent the new venue.
Charlie drove down with me and it was great to hear more about his time in Finland and his thousands of miles on snow, how lucky was he to get to do that, and what a great person he is growing into.
The show saw Nigel Richards giving his first set of CC’s and even though I’d told him all week it was possible, it was lovely to see Paul make up Rupert – wooohooo – we done to you both and to Debi for breeding her first Champion, roll on Ch Winterdance Jasper Carrott at Nashanessen being KC confirmed.
Indy was shown by Paul and I was pleased with her 3rd in Post Grad. Sophie then hit paydirt as well with the bitch CC – handled as usual by Krys, so lady luck was obviously sprinkling dust around on Sunday night. Well done to all the winners.
Off we trooped (in the rain) to the bar to celebrate a with Laurent Perrier Rose and home made cake, Rupert just kept looking surprised on being kissed and patted. Kirk & Kath, Sharion & Martin, and a number of Malamute mates joined us and we also commiserated with Anne who had just missed out on making up Harley – damn stupid single CC’s – his time WILL come
Luckily the drive home only took 3 hours so then it was time to remeet the rapidly growing pups
