"Manchester" at Stafford.

Manchester championship show, like several others, is held in the agricultural showground at Stafford so it was back into the bus, luckily, not the one with the square wheels this time, for the overnight journey on Friday night.
This was George's debut (and probably his last for some time) at a big show and he coped with it pretty well, although to "wee" away from home is still a bit of a problem for him. At the outset of the journey he was startled at every movement from the contents of the boot of the bus but I put him beside Swallow and he soon settled down. On the return journey he must have been so tired that he slept most of the way home, at least he made not a sound. He was unplaced in his class.
Swallow came 3rd in Post Graduate bitch, with 15 being present, but her litter sister, Emma (Meerwings A Butterfly Story), whom I was also handling, went Reserve Best Bitch, so we still had plenty to celebrate.
