Crufts 2009...better late than never!

We saw nothing untoward at the show, despite all the dire warnings and rumours flying about this year. It was the usual big, bold, noisy and exciting show with many overseas exhibitors, many of whom gained top honours.
There were two coaches, for the Toy and Utility day, leaving from the Forth Road Bridge and picking up en route.
Carole and I had been assigned the long back seat and we were able to stretch out and have a fairly decent sleep overnight on the southward journey, arriving at the show about 7am., which gave us plenty time to change and see to the dogs. We had Mo, Swallow and Carole's Emma.
I was handling all three and was unplaced with Mo, in Limit Dog and Swallow in Limit Bitch but was awarded a very creditable 2nd place in Mid-Limit Bitch, with Emma.
The full results with a couple of videos can be seen on http://scotpapnews.blogspot.com/
We left the showground around 6pm and arrived back home just before 2am the following morning.
