OSoSwift Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Rommi n Lewis, I was there 1993-7. And I think the boarders liked us "daybugs" I know the ones that came to dinner or stayed for the weekend certainly weren't complaining Some of my best buddies were daybugs! I never complained and I think they enjoyed farm visits as well. I did have some good times - some naughty ones, but I had my horse there so that kept me sane.

pie Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 God now i do feel old!!!!! I was there from 1987 to 1991! My last house was Hudleston, I was a prefect of year 8"s if only they had part of an idea about what we used to get up to!!!!!!I did hear they were closing it down, I wonder what they will do with it as I think a lot of the buildings are heritage listed??? I actually found out from my Stock Agent who is also a former Swanleighan! We are every where!!!! I was in Hudleston then they closed it and I went to Freeman. They are keeping all the buildings and using it as a facility for camps and courses and things. Just not college boarders, which is a shame. I'm looking forward to the Classic! Only a spectator though, but I intend to hunt down a certain Chesapeake Puppy for cuddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RallyValley Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Mirawee- Me and Toby will be at agility next term, we will be in the beginners class though. Mim- From memeory the oval at Midland was quite well lit. Lab Rat and Amypie- Lincoln will be there Saturday and Sunday and available for cuddles most the night . He is first up in the gundog group (unless someone has a brittany) so will be free most the evening. BnB- Nice to see you here! Will you and your Wei's be at the classic? You and Winnie qualified for puppy of the year didn't you? Has it been yet? Nic c- In Chesapeake's its just called brown (or light/dark brown) I think he will turn out dark brown. His eyes are yellow and will stay that way (hopefully) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I was in Hudleston then they closed it and I went to Freeman Why did they close it? It was the only one I actually liked as when I was in it in year 12 I had my own room - even got my name on the prefects wooden shield thingy on the wall - must be famous . When I was in it in year 8 it was 10 to a dorm with no dividing walls! Have the numbers dropped a lot or do they just not make enough money to keep going? Its ok Rommi n Lewis - you can stop looking for grey hairs now - I left school in 1984 It's too late..............I FOUND SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! ***sniffle sniffle cry cry****** wanders off to book an appointment at the hairdresser..........................

washa Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yep, group 5 Saturday and Sunday, a new baby fluffy (which still isn't mine)! Am only showing Bosley on Monday night but only if it doesn't clash with Dancing (which starts at 8pm, probably about the time he will be due in the ring!). Haven't shown him for ages now, not since Bunbury, he is in one of the days this weekend. He is also in Obedience at the Classic, sitting on 2 passes at the moment so fingers crossed Washa Are you showing the cute young BC Sat nite Washa??How Bosley boy going? Not showing him? Rubystar - darn I was hoping for agility to be on Friday or Saturday nite. Being three hours from home I dont really want to be away aaallll weekend :p Maybe Saturday & Sunday nites would be better! Will have to go back to the drawing board now! Rat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumbeat Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Are there any DOLers who go to Midland Dog Training Club? I have done. I'll be back this year for proofing so we're trial ready :p . http://www.midlanddogtraining.com/ I'm planning to enrol next month as we're moving up to the hills soon. If you see me come and say hello, I'll be the harrassed looking women with the mad Lakeland Terrier who wants to play with everydog or person in sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozjen Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Unfortunately our dogs get too old or have already reached the limit of their acheivements and in order for us to continue our activities we need new blood, but that doesn't mean that we want to get rid of our old mates to make room for the new. Are you sure? I don't mind taking Gizzy of your hands :D You would think of all the councils CoGosnells would be the most understanding when it comes to dogs because the CAWA grounds are in CoG, so of course there are going to be a lot of people in the area involved in dog activities. :D Now you know I wouldn't part with my Gizzy boy but you are welcome to plenty of Gizzy hugs at the DOL meets as long as I can get Trixie hugs. Gee, she is starting to look so grownup in you signature photo. Roll on cooler weather and another DOL meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
