Had a great time at Crufts last Saturday. It's always a great chance to see friends in the dog world that I don't see very often any more, since I don't get to many conformation shows, and it's just a blast in general - there's nothing like it. I was given the privilege of handling one Tervueren girl in the ring and we got second in the Limit Bitch ( Read more... )

Free to a good home! The sniffles! I'll even throw in a cough and a few sneezes. Any takers...? :P *cough*

Got my start date for new job: May 1st, with eight days worth of induction! Bit scary but also exciting. I really hope I do good at this job - it's just an absolute dream job,I can't let them down ( Read more... )

I think in retrospect having less than 2 hours sleep between a late-night work shift and driving to Derby to join friends to go to Crufts was an idea which was doable but not to be repeated. :) I must also add to this that deciding to listen to the "Nation" audiobook, which I got from the library last week, was not particularly uplifing for uber- ( Read more... )

Emotionally I've been, shall we say, up and down the past few days. I've had a job interview all the way down in Cambridge. I've had worries over my future job status - I've been doing temp work, but this is never guaranteed, and not being sure about finance is a bugger when - the next worry - moving house is coming up. I've also been a bit ( Read more... )

It's so COLD! We're getting into double minus figures! This is not a usual UK winter - at least, not one like I've ever had before. Maybe this is "how it used to be". ;) I've been ice-skating in my car tonight quite badly - I do not like sliding around in my car. Needless to say, I'm not venturing out to dog training this evening because of both ( Read more... )

Sorry I've disappeared for a few days - Crufts took it's toll, then me and my dog have been backwards and forwards to the vets again ( Read more... )

I have my last shift at work for two whole weeks in minus 50 minutes. Then a fortnight of free time! Of chilling out and doing what the fuck I want! W00t! I am so ready for this holiday! I am going to watch Hammer horror, draw some dogs (and maybe some Sir Christopher, since I've not drawn him for some time...), write some fanfic, walk my Phoenix ( Read more... )

20 days until CRUFTS biatches! Which also means it's only 17 days until my two weeks off evil work! YEAH!

Any one else going to the so-called "World's Greatest Dog Show"...?

Also, Mr. Rush sent me a postcard! ♥ I loves him - he's so cool.

I saw "Sherlock Holmes" last night! Wow, it was good! Such great fun, with amazing, dirty Victorian London visuals, excellent acting, and scored by some more amazing music composed by the master of cinema scores, Hans Zimmer. I really enjoyed it. It totally reinvented Holmes, and yet... the more you think about it, the less far-fetched it is. ( Read more... )
