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... )

This is a video of me and my boy, Phoenix, doing agility last weekend, which my friend filmed on her phone. This is the Helter Skelter course where he managed a clear round and came fifth place overall! So proud of my boy. :)

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... )

I'm interested in going to see the "International Dobermann Club Show" this year because, by chance, it falls on the last weekend of my holidays at the end of Aug, beginning of Sept. However, I'm a little concerned that it's in Slovakia! That's not a country I'm particularly confident about travelling to. Also, the show is in a small town called " ( 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... )

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.
