Aww...it's all over for another year now after gorgeous
Jet the flatcoated retriever claimed his THIRD
Crufts title... this time as
Best In Show! Jet is 9 and it was lovely to see an older doggie (who is still very much in his prime) take the title.... but
to us they really are all winners! Every single doggie there (over 21,000 of them too) was
absolutely beautiful to us and are awarded the
Puppy Love 'You're P-awesome' award.

We had a
wonderful time there at the
NEC on
Saturday and met
so many lovely people & doggies. There is so much to see and next year we will be going to 2 days for sure! We didn't go to the main arena and show-rings as really we just like to see the charity stalls and stands - like the wonderful
Galen Therapy Centre who gorgeous Karen is training with and
Support Dogs UK. Here is a demonstration of
Canine Myotherapy in action... doggie was so relaxed, she fell asleep!

We also saw some
fab doggie products, like the
100% bio-degradeable bowls at
Beco Things. Here are a selcetion of the
goodies we picked up:
Almost as soon as we arrived, we met up with
Soxi's Mami & Papi,
Karen and
Neil who are truely two of the
loveliest people in existence! We had such a
giggle and Karen proudly sported her
Puppy Love '
Race Cars not Greyhounds' Shopper all day. You can get one for yourself
here! We can't wait to go visit them and gorgeous
Soxi,
Brooke and
Dino later in the year :)
Now, I know some of you will already have heard of serotonin boosters and how the sunshine can make you feel happier and is great for your well-being etc etc...maybe some of you wild-ones have heard of some of those recreational drugs too? Well, we have found something even better! It is very exclusive and we feel very lucky indeed to have been able to have been given some for free..... introducing the BEST smile and well-being enducing treatment on the planet... Cassie Cuddles!! ;)
It was so lovely to meet
support dog Cassie in the reals and her p-awesome mommy,
Sylv who has the
coolest hair-do and is
truly an inpirational lady :) We found out too, that not only is
Cassie extremely beautiful, she is also very very clever as she wasn't trained until she was 4. Before that she was Sylv's pet doggie. The
bond between the two of them was
so wonderful to see and gave us the *leaky eyes* when we left them. Happy leaky eyes though - not sad ones :) Hope we can visit them both again soon!! We are making
Cassie a little fleecey hoodie for after her hydro-therapy sessions.
A special
shoutout also to
Cassie's fellow support dog, and our newest twitter friend,
Merlin and his girlie
Grace who were in the
final of Friends for Life at
Crufts last night...they also gave us the happy leaky eyes... and we are so proud of them! Winners to us and all your twitter family guys! And to our little minxy-moo's family and breeder,
Jackie from
Hitmonchan Cresteds who was there showing off that
amazing Hitmonchan gene pool!
All in all, a fab time was had by by all! Lee even for-go-ed the Arsenal game to stay longer! That's saying something! Crufts 2012 here we come... x x
