How has everyone got on? (I'm trying to keep half an eye on Higham, but always lovelier to hear it from the horses mouth!)

I'm going to start the ball rolling with a very special:
*ø¤º°*¨`*:»Wooooooo-hooooooooo!!«:*¨`*°º¤ø*
For the very lovely Charmiley's Dream, Bitch CC Leonbergers and... and... BOB!

Much delight and much admiration for me great mate 'Missie' and her Missy :-D Oh and H of course, the secret weapon (not the bouncing bomb but the bouncing babylons! ;-D)
   It only seems like yesterday when we were up late (in the old days of the Champdogs chatroom) pm-ing each other with ideas for the affix... or rather you pming me and me being of no help and just taking the Mick!! still you got me back in the form of that little red ewok that lives with me now!! look at what you could have won! ;-)
   Looking forward to seeing you all in Oct, keep the Babycham on ice for me! xx

Whoop - fabulous result Dee :) :) and Helen ever the faithful handler.

Just a day late, Liv!    It was Gundogs today, working & pastoral yesterday!   ;-)

Congratulations Dee for the win!

The gundog group judge obviously likes Spaniels ;-) All 4 placings were Spaniels :-)

Indeed way to go DEE!!!!

Stay up there on cloud 9!!!
Look forward to seeing some photos of the day :-D

Can I also add for a great show success on the working day, my boy Kai, his mother got her all important 3rd CC and now he has 2 CH's for parents (And not forgetting his brother who got his at Bournemouth this year) :-D Well done Anne with Bernfold Miss Molly!!!!

You're going to have to get that boy out more Sue!!

> You're going to have to get that boy out more Sue

Liv, I know, I think there is going to be an offer on the table for either a handler or a dog sitter on the side lines, its not easy taking 2 dogs to a show, especially when they both like to walk in opposite directions to each other.. I'm only ickle ;-)

Throw in a packet of monster munch & a flask of Gin and you've got yourself a dog sitter! ;O)
(Me and Bos can rob lunch from the Horlers!!! :-D they've got good stuff I bet!)

> Me and Bos can rob lunch from the Horlers!!!

Crack on ;-)  Yes their cakes are luuuvely..

I'm thinking though the need for CH shows, which alas Rachel won't be there :-( But i'm sure that Dee, Helen and anyone else on Working & Pastoral days will have food a go go..

Oh yes, Gin you can have, but a whole flask, yup can see you now rolling on the floor drunk with slobber chops Bos licking you to death ...

> its not easy taking 2 dogs to a show, especially when they both like to walk in opposite directions to each other.. I'm only ickle ;-)

These work great for me with my five http://www.dajan.co.uk/Halters.html

A good result for Alison (Alisongold) who got the reserve ticket with her gorgeous Shebelta Luke Skywalker. Congratulations Alison, give Luke a hug from me.

Thanks Brainless,

BUT... The eldest is fine in a head collar the youngest is such a pain and when he tries to get it off he uses his claws and scratches his face :-(, so I don't use one on him and he is the pain at walking to heel(too excited tbh), especially at a show when all he wants to do is say hello to everyone.

> (Me and Bos can rob lunch from the Horlers!!! :-D they've got good stuff I bet!)

Now that gave me a chuckle - if she gets herself a gundog she can have lunch anytime as can you Liv :) :)  Sadly wrong day for us :(

Woo hoo!!!! Way to go Dee and that gorgeous young lady. Just think, she could have been mine. So proud of you both Dee and true champ dog Missie. XX

> Sadly wrong day for us

I'm just stuck with Dee's Baps then!!?

Huge congratulations Dee - I still think of you and our shared vice when I am sitting in my greenhouse :-)

There's nowt wrong with my Baps Ms Olstead!
Thank you Liv, and ladies. It really was a great day to get back into showing again, can't believe its been a year since Missy has been out!

>> I still think of you and our shared vice when I am sitting in my greenhouse
> I'm not even going to ask!??

I would hazard a guess and say it probably has nothing to do with being green-fingered. :)

Fantastic :) Well done both of you!

Argh! would have been nice to spell her name correctly. Apologies Princess Missy! blame the half bottle of red!

She is out of your first home bred litter too isn't she, what an achievement.

and there was nothing wrong with your baps when I met you ;)

> blame the half bottle of red!

yeah, yeah... just the 'half' Lori! ;-)

Yes she is Lori :) she is lovely
Keeping a boy this time.....

Other half consumed the following evening. I'm a wuss! if I ever get asked on a date again I'll be cheap :-D

Your boy is gorgeous (I do sneak around for little peeps here and there) As for you baps on show, well that's the norm isn't it?  I'm sure your lunch box was open No plans to go this year. Now that I'm single I'm saving my dog minding favors for when I have to travel for work.

> Now that I'm single I'm saving my dog minding favors

Same here :) which is why I haven't done many shows in the last 12 months :(

(and I think my lunch box was empty ;) )

Hi Dee Hi gals :) :) :)

and to everyone else on their Driffield successes - way to go folks, keep it coming :-D   Haven't seen a show ring since June so very out of touch with what's been going on with you all but wishing you every success and continued highs in whatever field you compete.

Big thanks to Liv and Sue for the heads up!!!!  I've gotta make a point of dropping by more often.

Big {{{hugs}}} to the CD posse from an absent f[r]iend :-o :-o :-o
Mmmmmmwwahhh
Ter xxxxxxx

Liv -> "Quiupmh sullumulaha mone!mwulphhh,bluuumnphh,yellalalalalala,ooob,Deeeeeerflumph Lolly,temheri hulumph numph wwwwimmling...Ta!!!!"

Translation:
"Quick someone! pass me the nail gun, I've a mouthful of heavy duty carpet tacs, one hand gripping Dee's ankle, the other on Teri's and my arms wrapped round Lori's legs like I'm in a Rugby scrum and they're wriggling..... Ta!!"

We gotta nail 'em down before they bog off again :-D

> We gotta nail 'em down before they bog off again :-D

LOL

If you promise to stop pinching her baps, she just might hang round a bit..:)

Suitably restrained HG - can't account for Dee's whereabouts though possibly still on cloud 9.  As for the lovable Lori I'm guessing she's shoe shopping (or should that be Choo shopping LOL)
Nice to be back hon!
Teri x

Came down - fell off - C9 when Missy decided to decorate for me. Not sure which I like best, the chewed up window frame in the shed or the shredded paper that is adorning garden, shed, and house after she ran round shaking the bag everywhere before I could catch her!! 

xx

Liv, you shouldn't talk with your mouth full! so rude!

Looks like I'm gonna have to hide me baps and hold on to me drawers' then!!

> Looks like I'm gonna have to hide me baps and hold on to me drawers' then!!

She doesn't just have her baps out then, but also has no elastic in her drawers. Talk about show off..:)

Oi Miss get yee off me legs! I have a kitchen to remodel, no time for dallying about on forums.

Now maybe a trail of truffles...

Choo!!! Jimmy would have to pay me to wear heels like that. I'm still wearing those Muck Boots! (yep same pair)
