Wazzat Xolo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Just a big thank You to Sue Mallia after last weeks show at WA Canine Centre. The handler of my Xolo came down with a terrible injury whilst running around the ring, as we rushed to her and to get her out of the ring, I instructed someone who had my dog just to put him back in his crate. Lovely Sue who had dogs of her own in the line up was all to helpful to offer to take my boy around the ring and finish the Group, this I was very grateful for as its not often I see this side of the show world. It was super for someone who doesnt really know me or my dog to make this effort and they looked great. Just wanted to publicly thank Sue who certainly made a big impression with me for all the good and nice people in the show world which sometimes we dont see enough of! For those that know Kim she has a badly torn hammy ( off the bone) and will be out of action for three months. J I made this video to thank Sue and Kim Edited September 8, 2010 by Wazzat Xolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Great to hear :-)) And I hope your poor handler is recovering ! Same thing happened to me a couple of years back at our specialty. I had run the young dog for his class, and we went straight into the next class - and a judge who wanted quite a few laps !! Coming down to the humidity of Sydney after our tablelands had triggered my asthma, and halfway round the first lap with my 2nd dog, I just stopped being able to get enough air :-( I ran out of the ring and a fellow exhibitor grabbed his lead and said...."you or the dog?" I gasped "ME" ! and he ran straight into the ring with him and finished the class. I was so grateful, sportsmanship like that makes the odd sour grape a small thing. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifi Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Totally agree about the thank you's ! I emailed Dognews a while back to thank them for the wonderful coverage of our show in their paper, and recieved such a lovely and somewhat surprised response at my appreciation, I gather not many people take the time to thank others these days. My mother is very big on 'thank you' notes, and as a child I was encouraged to write them. I think that spirit is often lacking in our modern world. fifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzat Xolo Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 I said to a lady the other day what great manners her son had, he actually said "Excuse me " to me to get passed!! ( aged 6/8 ish) and she was so surprised as well and when she told him what I had just told her, he was as proud as punch, and made me feel good too! Maybe everyone is just so busy they forget, but thats no excuse ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe everyone is just so busy they forget, but thats no excuse ! This one is not dog related ,today at the supermarket I was after a carry basket for the few thing that I needed and a young girl was before me after the same thing and to my surprise she handed a basket to me and then got one for herself .With a thank you and a smile I took it and then said to her mother what a lovely yong girl.
