Default Re: Emley Show - 6th August 2016

Rogue, the hammies and I had a lovely day at the Emley show yesterday. We left home before 6am and got home after 10pm - and the hammies leapt in their wheels for a spin as soon as they went back in their cages (wish I had that energy!) There was, as usual, a lot to see and lots of lovely stalls to buy pretty things. It turns out all my purchases were for a certain small dog - a handmade felted dog coat, dog treats, a new collar and a cowboy hat. The weather was beautifully sunny.

Rogue and I entered a couple of fun dog show classes and he placed 5th in the fun obedience class. He was rather worn out after his efforts!
