The succession of back -to -back ,weekend showing goes on. This time Carnoustie, on Saturday and Lanark on the Sunday.
The "up" came at a wintry Carnoustie, with snow lying right down to the shore, where Dundee Canine Club held its Limit show. Our judge for Toys was Mr. Eric Buchan, who also judged BIS. Now I know there are no Challenge Certificate winners at such a show, but it was still a big thrill for me when little Swallow went Best in Show from an entry of 245 dogs of all breeds, and a bonus followed in the shape of an envelope containing £15. Now at least we would be able to buy some fuel to get home!!!
We were brought down to earth with a bump the next day at LKA of Scotland at Lanark, where judge Margaret Comrie-Bryant placed her 3rd in her class. Ah well, that's dog showing!
Incidentally, I left a frosty, snow covered Abernethy at 7.30 am in a temperature of -2 degrees and by the time I reached Lanark, a distance of just under 70 miles, the car thermometer was registering +13 degrees. That's weather in Scotland!

Never trust a judge with a double barrel name!
What an enormous cup, well done Swallow!
How did you manage to get her to stay still Anne.......Blutack or Superglue?
Congratulations to both Swallow and yourself, Anne. Fingers crossed that Carnoustie BIS will be the first of many.
In reply to Gennasus' remark, she's still sitting in the sitting room. I did wonder why. I think Chic must have used a spot of superglue!
Anne.
