View Full Version : big surprise i got in the post
hi all,
Well about a month ago if that I applied for sky ( one of my dogs ) to enter a comp at discover dogs which will be held on November the 8th 2008 at earls court in London.
Well yesterday I received a letter back to confirm that sky has made the finals,
She has beaten hundreds of other companion dogs already to get this far, so fingers crossed that she does better on the day as it is her first big big comp. It’s sort of like a mini crufts.
Well just wanted to share the news as well am nervous now don’t think it has sunk in yet really as I will have to show her in front of hundreds of ppl and famous ppl too and also maybe TV cameras.
Well enough of me rambling on now lol
I will let you all know how she does on the day but no matter what happens she is a star in my eyes
Susie will also be with me on sky’s big day
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
GOOD LUCK SKY
take care all

well done, greast news.xx
thanks for all your good luck wishes - well tomoz is the day and am as nervous as hell sorry sorry,
trying to keep ma head clear from the what ifs but its so so hard,
how am i going to get through it with out panic creeping upon me gosh maybe if i just hide then i wont have to face it sorry sorry
what if i have a panic attack in the ring with hundereds of ppl looking at me. dreading ppl bumping in to me bc of my touch phobia.
i also bn told that we are going to meet one of susie's m8s there too so thats making ma head go mental too
sorry sorry
well i will let you all know how it went soon
tc all and thanks again
hugs
lea
wonderfull lea i am well happy for you
thanks col.
well today was the big day - we set of around 7am to get to london.
sky was really good on the train esp been her first time on a train even in the station, she was really good on the underground too - but me well i h8ed it. i tried to stay focused of sky and susie all the time so that i didnt panic to much. we arrived at earls court - where the show was been held. we didnt have a long wait as we were showing so had to que in a kinda vip que.
sky was made a fuss off all the time, so we had to wait around for our turn to take our spot in the ring, but while we were waiting we were asked to be in the filming for sky tv. then i had to go in to the ring while susie waited for us to finish
so when we went in there was 20 dogs including us, that had been picked out of around 200 dogs. so while we were doing our thing tv cams and photographers where working away but while i waited to speak to the judge, i could feel my self starting to panic, so i must have looked stupid but i closed ma eyes for a few secs took a deep breath and carried on.
so the judge decided to narrow it down to 10 out of 20 then from 10 to 5 we were placed in to the final 5 and we came 2nd overall
so i am proud of sky so - well done sky keep up the brill work and sleepwell lol
and thanks to everyone for their kind words of support
