Went today and met
Marianne (are Ripley Z and lance twice as heavy now????) Great to see you all again :) Mellani looked great and growing up into a lovely young lady :) :)
Liv, looking great :) :) And the Doughnuts were GORGEOUS :) :) Oh and I am going to buy you a pair of running TRAINERS for next year!!!!! I bet you need a foot spa tonight after those heels!!!!
Shaynlola (jules) brilliant to see again :) :) let us know how long it takes you to get the dog slobber out of your clothes :D
Oscar you have a lovely family and your dogs were great :) :)
Schip, its lovely to see that you are the same in person as on screen dont EVER change :) :)
MandyC, lovely to put a face to a name, great to meet after all the PM's and would love to see your brood :) :)

So who else has met up with people????
I really wish I could have caught up with everyone else. Roni I chickened out of finding all the scousers!!!! LMAO :) :) :)
Lea :) :)

I fear my cardi may never recover...there are more drooled patches than clean ones.  My own fault really, I just can't resist the charms of a handome young Newfie.

Lovely to see you all today again.  And the Krispy Kreme was most welcome, thanks Liv :-)

And well done again to Marianne...quite a day for the Goldmali crew. And thanks for the cake too...was yummy (it's a good job I walked miles around the NEC to counteract some of the damage from all the scrummy goodies I scoffed :-D Ripley and Z were a delight as always and I have to agree with Lea, Melanie is a credit to you.

It looks like I have been roped into manning the Newfie booth next year so hopefully, I'll see you all again and a few more CDers besides :-)

Krispy Kreme??? Were these brought by some kind person or are they on sale at the show somewhere?

Courtesy of the very kind HuskyGal who brought them with her...sorry to have got your hopes up there, Lucy!

Thanks Lea, nice to put a face to a name here too, admit you were the only member I got to meet bit of an odd day at DD so never really got out to the rings................... not good.

You should have come back a bit later my friend brought us 12 cupcakes, tis how she makes a living coroprate events, weddings etc, 4 regulars and 8 dairy and soya free chocolate ones for me and youngest, had forgotten to tell her about my new intolerance to wheat bumma.  Had the icing off one was so tempted to eat the whole thing but seems aversion therapy works wonders on me, don't need a shock collar to stop me giving in lmao!

That's one of the only two things I miss about Enfield - Krispy Kreme just round the corner, and my old dog club! :-D

Clearly Lea forgot about meeting me first thing in the morning, thanks :-( I'll remember that missus!!!!

I shamefully must admit that I got so caught up in watching the Rotties and meeting new people and being introduced to certain breeders that learning became more important than trying to find people
I did catch a glimpse of Merlot in the ring and spoke to her on the phone afterwards.

MarianneB had me go running up to her as she was stepping foot onto the bus on the way home, sorry for not getting to cheer the Goldmali's on.. Wonderful dogs you have :-)

I now know who Universalady is after my friend pointed her out in the ring, but never got to say hello, so BIG WAVES to you :-)
Was right by the Newf ring too and kept looking over as my friend was entered, so I must of just missed you Syaynlola...

I was there most fo the afternoon with the Northern Ireland contingent (most of us in red club jackets) but I have to say that I didn't see you either.  I was keeping an eye on the BMDs too as we had some friends showing.  It was lovely to see Rocco get the BoB :-)

Sue I am so sorry,
I was trying to remember everyone :) :)
Sue who is as lovely in person as she is on line {{{hugs}}}
Lea :) :)

> Sue who is as lovely in person as she is on line {{{hugs}}}

Awwww thanks... Hugs back.. Was great to meet you and Pete.. I knew who you were straight away standing by the ring :-)... I do apologise for being a tad aloof(not like me at all), was a tad preoccupied..
I'm still trying to recover now, soooooo tired....

OMG :o :o How come??? I thought the photos of me were bad, but obvipously they are not as bad as I thought :( :( LMAO
Lea :) :)

Was great to meet everyone, enjoyed doing Discover Dogs, Magic made it his mission to kiss everyone who came to look.   Ashleigh and Kieran enjoyed Canix, Kieran was the youngest competitor at 6 years old and was proud of him when he had to speak in the mic in the large arena. 

Tracy

I didn't see you Suejaw did keep an eye out and asked around, I think you are like the scarlett pimpernel!

I nearly met Marianne at DD, but she'd gone shopping.

she spent half of Friday shopping. lol poor John must have been having cold sweats every time marianne left to go shopping lmao :) :)
lea :)

In my defense I shall say I only bought what was on my shopping list -well almost......and Sunday was just getting what my feet couldn't cope with on Friday. ;) Added extras included a bacon and liver flavoured muffin each for Ripley and Rio for their sterling work in DD. :)
