Bradford Small Animal Show - 26.01.13

Sleep, mainly the judges have all the hard work!

I really enjoyed my day. It was lovely to catch up with old friends I haven't seen in a while, and meet new ones. It was good to finally put a face to the name, Kissa, and well done to Annie. I didn't take any pics of the actual show as I was hard at work all day (apart from when I was chatting hard ) and it didn't look that different to last year when I took loads of pics.

My hams did the best they've ever done at Harrogate with two class wins and 4th in the dwarf show. Persil thought this entitled him to bang his wheel about all Saturday night in celebration so I couldn't sleep!

Persil - 75 - 1st normal Chinese, 4th grand challenge, COM
Alvie - 72+ - 2nd dom spot Chinese
Eponine - 72 - 3rd dom spot Chinese
Lympy - 71 - unplaced SH AOC female Syrian
Seven - 69.5 - unplaced normal Chinese
Queenie - 69 - unplaced normal Chinese
Hershey - 53 - 1st non standard dwarf

I went back on the Sunday briefly to have a longer mooch around and bought quite a lot of bits and pieces, some for me (stickers, book, little mouse ornament) and some for the beasts (wooden cars and cubes, hammocks and fleece cube for the ratties).

Vectis: Likewise! I find it bizarre seeing people in real life after knowing them on the internet, I subconsciously expected you to look kind of mouse-y/Chinese hamster-y Also I saw Hershey! I didn't realise it was him until just now, but I remember seeing him on the bench Congrats on all your other results too

Wow! Congrats Vectics and well done little ones! That little mouse with the balloon is seriously cute.
