Midland and West Great Dane Club Championship Show

well of we trek on Saturday afternoon to stay at a friends house overnight for the show in the morning.

we have a bite to eat en route to save time on the way as we thought it would be quicker doing it this way but we got caught in three traffic jams so were delayed somewhat and then we thought we had taken the wrong turn to go to the house oh no it was the longer route. So we were weary once there so an early night was had by us so we'd be rested of sorts the next day.

Dogs all five were fed and watered prior to this and thankfully Grace thought it a good idea to eat too as she's a fickle bugger at times.

Sunday arrives whilst my brain is telling me its Saturday so I'm a day behind in my thinking for some reason. Senility is settling in I think.

on the day loads of items for auction and the raffle too. loads of scrummy food on offer as well. the committee did us proud, bless em.
husband decides to bid on the hair products and ruddy well wins them. I even have a pic to prove it.

Now for the show,

"The show must go on"
RIP   
                                                                                                                                                                               

NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
With nary a thought of the dog in their heads.
And mamma in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Knew he was cold, but who cared about that?

When out on the lawn there rose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
The dog must be loose; he’s into the trash!

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Santa Claus with eyes full of tears.

He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick,
Last year’s Christmas gift, now thin and sick.
More rapid than eagles, he called the dogs name,
And the dog went right to him, despite all his pain.
Now DASHER, Now DANCER, Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On COMET, on CUPID, on DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!!
Let’s find him a home where he’ll be loved by all!!

I knew in an instant there were no gifts this year.
For Santa had made our mistake very clear.
The gift of a dog is not just for the season,
We had gotten a pup for all the wrong reasons.

In our haste to think of a gift for the kids,
There was something important that we had missed.
A dog should be family, and cared for the same.
You don’t give a gift, then put it on a chain.

And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight,
“YOU WERE GIVEN A GIFT!! YOU WERE GIVEN A LIFE.”
