Boy Wonder

Another very interesting week, the outside of my house looks like a warzone! Concretors have been here since Thursday getting ready to do lots, paths, driveway and the areas at the front and out door alfresco. My backyard has been dug up and there is now more dirt than lawn, lots of mess for my dogs to bring inside.

It was a relief to take Player and Alex to a Dog Show yesterday and leave all the mess behind me, at least for a few hours. The show was held in the Southern Highlands, it is beautiful country and it was a truly georgous day. There was no wind and about 20 degrees. Alex had a great day and managed to beat all the other Toy Poodles - he won his age class in group - he turns 8 months old next Thursday so I am extremely pleased and proud of his great wins over the last few weeks.

Myself, Jhett 13, and Tamzen 10, (My grandkids) went to see "Whip It" at the movies on Wednesday and I managed to eat all the right things that day. I had weigh in on the Tuesday and lost 1.9 kilos, then had lunch with a friend and there was no way of undoing it. Have had friends over for lunch today and dread weigh in this week - I will walk to Engadine tomorrow and hope for the best.

The BIG POUR is Tuesday and I can't imagine what that day is going to be like as I have no exit front or back. It will be ok for me, but my 4 legged friends????? All six of them will need to be toileted by carrying them over a plank !!!!!!!!many times I wonder what I will be thinking when I go to bed that night and THAT DAY IS OVER. Stay tuned!!!!!!!!

Alex - Minor in Group


Had an enjoyable day at the show today and it doesn't hurt to have a lovely win to make it even more enjoyable. Alex won Best of Breed and gained another 13 points towards his title. He then went on to get Minor In Group. He looks a little different now that his first photo on my blog; they grow up SO fast!
