Well I missed Katdogs & T but I did see the Wolfie judging and got to pat a few and have a lovely chat with a breeder.

I wentback through later and said a quick hello to the Tapua gang.

I now have no feel left, just stumps :laugh:

Yes, my feet are dizzy too!

So is the wheel on the cheap shopping trolley I bought to bring home a Studio Sebastian bowl. Sadly they may be collector's items, as the man who makes them is in hospital after a stroke and his lovely wife is very sadly contemplating giving up the showing and the business. She's such a sweetie.

T and I had a wonderful time but didn't get to the dogs until the Lagotti were being shown because I like sleep-ins and Tracey had to divert via goats (and an affectionate Brahman bull). We did meet lots of lovely dogs and Tapua had a very successful day (not compared to Driftway but I heard a lot of show-talk - NOT from Pauline, others - about how Italian judges might know each other...) Unfortunately the terriers were hidden away again so I didn't meet one Aussie Terrier :( Did run into Perygrin and had Borzoi smooches :thumbsup:

A bit of the show layout has changed so we took a bit longer than we wanted to find some of the usual attractions. Also the free food lines were ridiculous. Strangely the showbag tent wasn't too bad - just exxy as expected.

A great day at the show - and T's going back again in a week for Weims, and probably more goats. Crazy goat lady!

I had a great time! Kisses from Brahman bulls are awesome!

Which bright spark decided to barrier off the goats so you can't get anywhere near them? Mean! At least we could pat the pigs... *grin*

I got kisses from the prettiest Deerhound ever (thank you Kitty!), and patted some Wolfies, a couple of Afghans, a Lagotto, and a Schipperke. Cuddles and kisses from Splash and Broker the Borzois was heaven on a stick too!

Met a gorgeous Labrador named Mini, and another sweet pup named Ziva (and got kisses from them too!)

Hung out chatting up Tapua's 4 stunning Labradors - Kupa, Daphne, Katie, and Kura (Sammy's litter sister) - then did a bit more wandering about until the Labradors were up. Took 500 photos of the 4 Tapua entrants... and here are my fave shots of each of them...

Kupa got first in Puppy Dog

Katie got second in Puppy Bitch

Daphne got first in Open Bitch

Kura was shaping to be first in Junior Bitch, but had pulled up a little lame, so missed out... we all know she was the prettiest/best girl out there though.

C'mon T! Show!

TD bought a humongous ball for a tiger to play with and is taking forever to post a photo!

I'm still sifting through show bags for the maltesers and the dogs are enjoying their Dogs NSW show bag treats. And we're now looking forward to Dogs Day Out - 14 June.

I went yesterday to watch the agility & today to watch the Japanese Spitz & Border Collies being judged. I don't know if I'll ever be able to walk again. Didn't get to see much else at the show but was surprised to see the huge new pavilion that now houses the arts n crafts & cakes.

Lovely to meet you both, Katdogs and T. Glad you finally got some Borzoi cuddles, aren't they just divine?!? I think Broker and Splash enjoyed giving the smooches to everyone as much as those on the receiving end. They were so well behaved all day ( and it was a looooong day!) :-)

I'll be back there next Monday for General Specials to cheer on my breeder's Borzoi - I'm hoping I might have a chance to venture further afield than the dog pavilion and show bag hall lol.

It lasted a whole 90 seconds... but it was way fun to watch the old boy still have a whole lot of play in him... *grin*
