Camping Out in the Freezing Cold...

I had to rough it last weekend. On Friday afternoon we went camping and its not even summer yet! Louise took me to the dog show in Ashhurst to face off with the Taranaki country girls. But it was the city girl (that would be me) that managed to come out on top, winning Best in Breed and Intermediate of Breed at both Saturday's and Sunday's shows. That Banderbear is one to watch though. It's just a matter of time and she'll be a Champion like me too. If you go to Holly's blog you can see a neat photo of the four of us mini's together :-)

I wasn't allowed to run around off the lead like I do at the parks at home. When I wasn't going for walks, or in the show ring, Louise kept putting me back in the crate (look carefully in the picture and you can see me peeking out underneath the pink blankets that Louise put over the top to help keep the chill off. I did have my jacket on as well though, and if you go to Banderbear's blog you can see me modelling it while I was playing with her).

And all that showing takes it out of a wee lass. I was a very tired little girl on Sunday night when I got home.

What took me so long?

I've been a busy young lady you know, and I completely ran out of time to update my blog site. Lyall Bay beach is now my very own "Party Central", and sometimes there's like 30 or 40 dogs playing with each other. It's awesome. I don't know if its the salt air, or what, but we all just have heaps of fun while our owners chat and laugh at us.

Lots will be happening here in the next couple of weeks. Louise is taking me to a show, and we've got stiff competition from the girls from the "Naki"! Yep, Mouse, Holly and Banderbear will be heading down to Ashhurst to compete against moi in an all breeds Championship show.... I'm looking pretty hot right now, but those country girls just might win the judges over. We'll see. The great thing is that there are more mini's entered in the show than Bull Terriers! Banderbear is right... Mini's do rule!
