Chocolate, anyone?

Today we went to Roseisle and met June and Kaiya for a walk. It was one of those freezing cold days where everything is still, frost underfoot and the light on the beach was amazing as the sun disappeared, really lovely! Kaiya is a Chocolate Labrador who comes to our classes and sometimes we lift-share to shows, her Mum June has just done a website for her. The Beagles had great fun playing with (chasing) Kaiya and I think she enjoyed herself too! I think the Vizsla in the first photo is Zala, we bump into her and her sister Rez once in a while, they also have a blog! Rosie was barking at her and she went away.... :o)

Some of the action shots are a bit blurry!

Venus is bright tonight!

Footnote: (sorry!) I always get people commenting on my wellies when i'm out and about and now i'm starting to notice comments on various blogs about them....so....I thought i'd look up the website of the company who makes them and post a link to it! I bought them at Darlington Champ show in the summer (if you'd been there, you'd understand!!) I turned up to a field with knee-deep mud in my dainty little blue leather pumps and they had mud INSIDE them before I even reached my bench! There was a stall selling cool wellies so I bought some (I wanted the white ones with pink hearts but they didn't have them in my size, grr!) the guy selling them made a 200 mile round-trip to pick up more later that day, he cleared out his stock- the mud was horrendous!
So anyway, click on the following link for Funky fashion wellies with FREE matching bags, there's also a button in the sidebar linking to the site.
I have to say also, that as wellies go these are very comfy, I wear mine every day and walk for miles in them!

LKA of Scotland

Yesterday we went to LKA of Scotland open show....'we' being myself, Alfie and Rosie, Gabbi was entered but is still in season. We car-shared with June and her Chocolate Lab, Kaiya....and Jodi and her Cocker, Molly. Thanks June for doing all the driving!

We had a very early start, June picked Jodi up at 5.30 and was at me before 6am......we must be mad! It was a lovely day, freezing but sunny and we saw a gorgeous sunrise on the way down which I tried to capture with my camera.

There was a bit of drama during the show when the fire alarm went off and the building had to be evacuated..........I happened to be in the ring with Rosie at the time. Outside, we waited for the strapping firemen to arrive to alleviate the frozen boredom of standing around outside but no luck there, now THAT would have been a photo-opportunity, sadly we only saw one rather short bloke in a day-glo hat!

Back inside.....wet-wipes everywhere before going back in the ring, Rosie had decided to sit in the mud!

Alfie, who was full of the joys of raging hormones, was a brat. So hyper. All day. It was all a bit much for Rosie though and she flaked out, probably best as Bathgate is not her favourite venue (nor mine!)

We took a few ribbons home between us, Jodi being the most successful, taking a red rosette when Molly won her Junior class, well done! June's Kaiya came 2nd in a good sized class so she was pleased with that.

Rosie got a respectable 3rd in her class and Alfie got a less-than-respectable 3rd in his (there were only 3 in the class!). Oh well, you can't win 'em all and we can't complain.......Alfie has had a very successful year.

All packed up and ready for home.......in time for tea!
