Thread: A Bittersweet Show Day.....

Last Saturday we left home with a very heavy heart to attend the FB show at Moulton,our daughter had done a quick trip home to see her dog Millie who lived with her ex partner as she was very unwell & first instincts were to stay here with her but decided to give them quality time alone,with no camera as daughter had forgotten hers we set of saying whatever the cats do today it will be for Millie.... Were very chuffed to get both Shimba & Ruby nominated through to Best in Show where Shimba's good run came to an end but Ruby got Best in Show Junior catagory 2 & at the ripe old age of 10 months went on to win overall catagory 2 {Knocking out her dad also} & finished off by winning Best of the Best to become overall winner of the show.Tears in bucketfulls not only because we were so proud of her but knowing that at home things were very sad. Sorry the photos are so mismatched & in wrong order but it is with thanks to others that we have any at all,Shimba showing his stern face in one,Ruby being a tart with the judge but also being shown off wonderfully with her stewards, with mum on the winners podium {was an olympic themed show & very wonderful it was too}her awards were photgraphed next day for us by another friend & in the middle of it all our Millie enjoying her most favourite place a couple of years ago & who is now running pain free over at Rainbow Bridge....Ruby could have done no more for her favourite canine friend who she got to know for only a very short time...
A very very Bitersweet day for us all but one that won't be forgotten.
