I wasn't going to enter my photos into Noosa Country Show , but after some convincing I did and I am so glad I did . It does boost your confidence I got 1st and 2nd place in " Animal Portrait " class the original photos for those they didn't see my "Kenya & Tanzania " thread

will knit some squares Thinking cap on for the other knitting categories

I think he called it scruffs . more of a "pet' show... things like waggliest tail , owner/pet look alike contests

So sorry RIP Faith

that is classic I was thinking that the whippets would leave others breeds miles behind. I know with lure coursing the whippets do the course in amazingly quick time where as Maggie although she goes flat chat is no way as quick Will have to coincide any trips down south with a "fun day" as I Maggie would love to just run in a straight line . About how long is the run ?

healing vibes for Yogi :rolleyes: for you

Tuffies starfish lasted around a day before all stuffing was removed but then for about 6 months Maggie had fun with it until it just had too be binned she has had the Mega ring for almost 2 years now and apart from a bit of fraying it is in tact . Many a time it has been left outside in the rain :rolleyes:

When they run "non whippets " do they run them sperate to the whippets ? looks like fun

I just wander at 8 years of age why the boy wasn't in school or with the parents . I heard that he came home and walked into the house

That bought a smile to my face

Joint guard ( did originally try sashas blend with no improvement ) Haven't tried any of the others as we have been using Joint guard for close to 5 years and Maggie has done so well , don't want to upset it by swapping

As becks said some get very hairy but others have a naturally clear face . Maggie just needs a bit of a clip over the cheek area but apart from that it is quite clear of long hair . She doesn't even seem to grow whiskers

Steve :D

Congratulations to all the nominees!!! I would love to nominate the committee members of a "dog sporting" club for all their hard work that they put in to preparing the grounds and running the various trials , for us members to enjoy a dog out with our dogs :D But i can't find a category that fits them Is there one ?

:D HAPPY BIRTHDAY GYPSY Glad you had a wonderful day . You look so pretty in your birthday hat

Love the last one , all good but the last one is brilliant

ILTBY Love the Jonquils . Daffodils and Jonquils always remind me of my mum :D Great pic of Grotty Rotty . Huga Very clever self portrait

Great photos

we will be over run by ridgies then Look forward to watching them run. The ridgies that run well are great to watch

Lovely photos . Well done Your sister makes a great model . Stunning eyes

That trophey was for all other dogs ( not a hound , terrier or unregistred ) so he did very well . I have the same problem with Maggie she gets so excited that she is huffing and puffing before she runs. At least they have fun , that is the most important thing Miss Monster Is that at Kuraby ? if so we will be there Kit Kat next trial is also on the 12 September :D

to second place. what group was kaine in ? was it the shanett trophey ? if so he beat some awsome luring dogs

" little brat " did very well Congrats to him for getting though the 2 runs . What is his name ? great to meet you pixie _ meg . Watched both Oberon's runs. Give him another go as it was quite a long run and he is still young . Some dogs take to it straight away some can't be bothered but after a few goes realise what its all about and go for it.

weather forecast for Sunday is Sunny and 22 degrees ;)
