Hi Lesley, Karen and Michelle.

Is'nt it about time Gus, Sally, Toesy and Bosun plus us girls meet up!

Lets start looking for a show that we can all attend....

Debbie

Definately :D Me and Gus are up for it - Gus is always eager to make new friends :)
I will be at Midland Counties next Friday , NorthWest SBT Show on 26 October, Staffordshire Bull Terier Club Show 8 November , Morecambe Bay & Cumbria SBT Show 9 November and Merseyside SBT Show 16 November . Anyone else at any of these ??
I know Michele is at Merseyside too .

Edited to say what about doing the Manchester Dog Show Society Champshow in January ? It is being held at Staffordshire County showground in Stafford - might be a good location for us all to get to ?? :)
The schedules are out now and I have the contact details if anyone needs them. Closing date is 24 November

Suits me the one in Jan that is as I have stupidly broken my arm today and unable to get about for about 4 weeks or so and all showing out of the question.

Where do I get a schedule fom then Lel, "provided of course Sal is not in season, she is a girl you know ;) but shouldn't be until Feb if she runs to 6 months intervals"

Karen

Okay how about PHOTO'S from those I haven't seen since puppyhood???.

Karen
Manchester details -
Les Lund 01704 892009 (9am-8.30pm) and the closing date is 24 November .
What happened with your arm - how on earth will you take Sal on her walks :( .
How will you manage with work etc . You havent been trying to do more good deeds again have you ???
Mail me if you can :)
Lesley

Yes it would be really good if we could all meet up.:) As Lesley says I am also at Merseyside. Then in South Wales, which I presume will be too far, we are only going because we are going for a long weekend,(can't wait) :)
Lesley what is the Morecombe one, I've never seen that schedule. What is the closing date. If I haven't already missed it could you give me the details.
I have also just picked up the schedule for the Manchester champ show. We are planning on going to that one, It will be Sun 18th for us lot. If we all plan to go to that one what classes would everyones dogs be in, I've lost track of ages. Toesy would still be in the puppy class, as he will be 11 months old in Jan.
Sorry to hear about your arm Karen :( How on earth did you manage that. Hopefully every thing will be ok by Jan. It will be great if we can all get together for that one. Is that one on the cards for you Debbie.
Lesley has seen my latest photo of Toesy, but I am planning on adding it to my profile when Colin gets round to doing it :) It would be nice to see recent photo's of everyone elses pups.
Hope to meet you all soon,
Michelle.

Hello,

Sal will be in Junior by then she's 1 in Nov. Where does time go. Only hiccup I might have as I say is Sal coming into season. But other than that I am up for it in Jan. Bit hindered now but hey "that's life as we know it Jim"

I will send you a photo of Sal if you like?

Karen

Thanks Karen, I would love a photo.

Michelle

Sent, hope you like it just waiting for her to fill out a little more now.

Karen

Hi,

Bosun will be 1 on the 25th January 2004 and so I think he will still be in puppy, I will phone for a schedule today, I will have to get some more photos done, unfortunately he still looks like a staffie cross! poor lamb just never developed outwards only upwards :-( But I love him loads.

Let me have any recent photos as I bet Gus, Sal and Toesy have changed loads.....

Debbie

Okay ladies,

Have you all sent off the entrance fee for Manchester? Mine put in post today.

You will all be in the ring before me (having dogs) we will be in Junior Bitch(class1628) then Post Graduate Bitch (1630).

I know Gus will be in Junior Dog any other classes as well Lesley?

Bosun will be in puppy dog, with Toesy. Two in the same class Lesley and I will have to clap twice as
hard :D
Karen

Deleted due to duplication

I really need to sort myself out and get some photos done as I havent taken any for ages and he has grown quite a bit- still a titch but bigger than he was :)
Has everyone sent off their entry fees ?? I think it may be a wasted journey but my form is filled out just needs sending off .
lel

Hi all,
My form is also filled out, but not got round to sending it off yet. I tend to send a few off at a time depending on the entry dates.
It's my daughters 8th birthday on that Sunday 18th Jan, so we did have our doubts whether we were going to go or not, :( but we have decided to have her party on the Saturday, she's happy enough with that arrangment :)
Why do you think it will be a wasted journey Lesley. Surely one of us will get placed :D
Karen have you entered Sal in the North East SBT Show, You said you might be going. I've entered Toesy.

Michelle.

Michelle,

Are you a mind reader? I have just put the entry form on one side to decide tomorrow. I have shows on the 23.11.03(Sedgley and Gornal Open show) 14.12.03 (Notts and Derby SBTC show) 21.12.03 not sure about this one as I have a Xmas do on the same day (Oakengates District open show) 27.12.03 (Stourbridge&District Open show) then Manchester18.01.04
Not sure I can fit in the North East but actually now you mention it maybe it's fate :D l will enter and see how it goes it's all practice. And it will be nice to see you :D

Lesley Michelle has a point why will Manchester be a wasted journey?

Michelle are you bringing the family down? This will be the first show that my two nieces will be coming to they are 9 and 11. So someone for them to talk to ;)

Karen

Hi guys
mail me - certainly not wanting to put anyone off I was just thinking aloud :rolleyes:
Lel

Will do lel.

Michelle any joy on the paper front yet??????

Karen

Hi,

Entered Bosun by internet, was impressed once they had sorted out his class!

So we will be there in support of you all, I feel like I too will be taking Bosun along for the ride as he is just too much terrier, but we both enjoy showing so not being placed is'nt an issue, lets hope only 3 puppy dogs turn up ;)

Finally took the films to be developed and got them back today - BLANK! my camera has decided to give up the ghost and develop a fault and let light in so whole film ruined, whats upsetting is that I had taken photos on my Daughters 'bump' growing and then at Reanans coming home - she was only 7 hours old and I cant replace those :(

So have got another camera on the go, and will make sure I take a whole roll on Saturday and get them done pronto. so I know this one works!

Debbie

Hi Karen,
No joy on the paper front yet, I'm afraid.
Yes it could be fate, you could be coming home from the North East with best in show :D
We will more than likely have the children with us, when we come to Manchester, Don't particularly want to, but we've got no choice. They tend to get bored quite easily especially Lori who's 7yrs, then they start messing about and arguing, (And boy can they argue) I'd much prefer a quiet day without them, but nothings that simple. So maybe if your nieces are there it might give them someone different to talk to.
Are you not at Merseyside on Sunday.
Michelle.

No not at merseyside.

The girls will be more than happy to chat to new friends. Of course we will come home with Best In Show we're bringing Sal home ;) but if she were to win it WOW :D (but a distant dream I think)

Debbie, are you and Bosun in Puppy Dog then? with Michelle and Toesy?

As we are the only all girl team "me and Sal" we will be on later I am going to the County Showground 23/11/03 for the Sedgley and Gornal open show with Sal and will update you all on the facilities etc.

I am taking more photo's this week so will send them out.

Karen

County Showground is a brilliant venue . Midland Counties was held there recently- loads of space and big rings . The dogs were benched too which meant you didnt have to hunt for a space to leave your cage in especially with so many dogs here :)
