Well he was a very good boy today, the weather was not on our side it was freezing. he met lots of doggies so many of them could he have gone for but he didnt he was an absalute star, he got a massage and muscle tone thingy and he has to have some therapy sessions as he has got some problems, an old shoulder injury, tight back end ,mucles and muscle spasms in his back legs. he got some free samples and stuff. several people recognised him off the telly . He got 3rd in the scruffts most handsome crossbreed and 2nd for three counties newfoundlands fun dog show in junior handler, the person judging says that i was by far the best but he had to give it to this little kid as it was a fun dog show and fair enough. by the end of the day he was shattered and in his last class in the ring he was asleep on my lap, he is now zonked on his bed

Sounds like you both had a very long and very exciting day. Both of you will sleep well tonight me thinks.

Sounds like you both had a fun day! Although I have to say, if the judge thought you were the best junior handler, then surely you should have won even if it is a fun dog show? I don't understand judging sometimes.

I am so pleased to hear that you both had such a lovely day! I bet it felt great being regonised by doggy lovers!! - or Barley being recognised anyway! I agree Orpheous! This happened to me last year! I was told by the judge in the fun dog show that Charlie was handsomest dog and that he should of came first but he gave it to a man 'because he had a disability'. I am pleased that the boy was happy to win, but I think that it isn't an excuse to win everything - (he won nearly every single show that he entered even though there were loads more dogs and owners there with great chances to win!). Anyway, you will have to share some pictures of the prizes and the day, etc, if you got any?
