Hi guys, Hope you have a good time. We will not be joining you this year. I fouund it far too expensive last year and we are booked up with competitions for Cooper until Mid Oct now! Will however be seeing anyone going to the CMC do at end Sept. Hope to see LOTS of you there. That one is always on our calender of events. Have just got myself a new trailer tent - v.posh! & means lots more space for me and the dogs and any extras we get along the way. Just need to get a tow bar fitted now! My best mate towed it from coventry to my house last night for me bless him!

I stayed at Claremont House in Woodhall Spa with my two before a Crossbreed and Mongrel show. Don't know Lincs that well so don't know how near it is to your event. It's a very friendly b&b and didn't charge for dogs last 2 times I stayed. Last time new owners had taken over and I went out to get some dinner and when we came back there was a note for Cooper & Trixie with a chew for them each. They said dog people should ask for room 6 if it is free and there is a low window they are happy to let the dogs in and out of like a dog flap to their garden. Clearly dog mad people. www.theclaremontguesthouse.co.uk (01526) 352000 Owners names are Allan & Isabel Pook

Orders still being taken, God Bless my mother!

Oh by the way thanks for link - scary how much they cost! PS were you wanting fleece or towelling? Not that it makes a difference to the price

She could easily make them longer but would have to charge a couple of quid more as it uses more material. Think coming up the neck might be difficult for her without the dog in front of her to try on during the making. We have just made templates from rugs I have for mine and spares for the fosters. If I want something different then she waits until I go up there with Cooper and he gets chased round the house to try stuf on for her. PS sorry about the delay in reply internet been playing up in the cold weather. Not normally a problem.

Hi Can't work out how to add myself so could you do it for me please Claire Powell Fosterer, Homechecker, Failed Foster to Princess Trixie & Mum to Cooper CW12 2AY. Would transport but generally seem to be busy when ever they are needed apart from the last leg of the fosters coming to me. As for camping weekend if it is the same place as last year we won't be making the trip as £20 a night for a very small tent is just ridiculous, nearly fell over last year when I checked in. & after now going on the CMC weekend which was really cheap with lots of piece and quiet and no horrible noisy kids charging round in the small hours of the morning I vote for combining the 2 together.

Hurrah, glad you are going for this. I will be there anyway. Hopefully will qualify Cooper again for supreme champ again and maybe Trixie too. Will be looking to go from the Thurs this year I think. Last year was great very laid back no stressing and LOTS of fun. Most of the dogs were off lead a lot of the time (other than when the shows were actually on) last year too which all added to the relaxed atmosphere. And the weather seems to shine on the righteous there too and was glorious for the whole weekend last year. It's a fantastic club I am so glad I found it and I am as passionate about CMC as I am about Oldies so now I get to combine the 2! Can't wait

Yes Kyle is staying too. They have gone down the their other daughter down south and it would bee too much for him with other dogs and all the little kids so he stays here instead of going to nasty kennels. Handy we only live in the next town. Mum & Dad were pleased to see him again too. Nothing changes with Ky makes himself right at home on the sofa straight away. Just a little rounder and quite deaf now but still very lively!

Hello folks, I did try to post these pics on Christmas day but the forum was too busy eating it's christmas dinner and was offline. Always was a poser! They all had the same dinner as the humans. Homemade Carrot & Corriander soup to start (Kyle wasn't sure about that as it lacked meat and thought it could have been suspciously healthy so he said thank you for the taste and gave it Cooper to finish off). Then eventually came the Roast venison with potatoes, roasted vegatables and pigs in blankets! All thought this was the best meal they had ever had. Although I think a little princess over did it a bit and had to have another nap on Grandad's knee

glad you like and it fits ok Thanks for posting the extra pics too

Sorry life been rather hectic again. What with having to train my friend's friends lab who has come to stay breifly who has the worst manners ever to cross my doorstep, he has now passed his bronze good citizen, still a pain in the butt but no where near as bad as he was. Bought Trixie a canvas crate to give her somewher peaceful to sleep in the day when I'm out that he can't mither her in. Any waiting to hear when he goes back any day now. Told his owner he needs out now as Kyle is coming back from Christmas and he is far more important! We have had quite a trauma with Trixie. She then started taking the pain out on her feet and chewed one of the pads on her supposed good leg off so started walking on her bad leg sooner than she should. Had to wear a lampshade collar after trying everything else to stop her licking her feet before resorting to that. So that made her even more depressed. I think if dogs were capable of committing suicide she probably would have done. Collar now off again and new pills seem to have worked on her feet and they are healing nicely. Still giving her reiki regularly and she goes back to see James at the end of the week so see when she can start exercising again. She should cheer up a bit more then as she thinks she has been naughty and grounded as the boys go for walks without her. She's curled up with Cooper on the sofa now wrapped up in Kyle's old duvet.
