I went with two friends but we had a bit of a false start. All set to put my dogs and bags in my car - turned the key and the lights came on and nothing else. Phoned local garage, who said it was an electrical fault and they couldn't fix it. I'd have to phone the specialists in Stirling!
Fortunately one of my friends came in a Galaxy, so we contacted her insurers and put me on to drive it - very helpful FordInsure! Next job was to ask my son in law to pick up Missy, and my cousin to pick up Freckles.
Then four dogs and the three of us plus canvas crates and rucksacks piled in and set off, with only an hour and a half delay! Lovely drive down and I fell in love with the Galaxy!
One of my friends, Bev, won her class with her young German Wirehair, the other, Eileen, won Puppy dog with Carson (Gordon Setter), then I won Veteran dog and Good citizen dog with Allez, and Good citizen Bitch with Belle. A good run finished with Carson challenging the other puppy class winners and won Best Puppy Dog - so we had to wait for the adult judging to finish for him to challenge the bitch puppy. Got away at 6.20pm instead of 4pm. Thank goodness for the shuttle buses to the car park! We were exhausted - and had 6 hours journey home, mostly me driving as Eileen can't drive in the dark - I power napped the first hour.. But a very smooth run home, with great company - and the 8 very pretty red rosettes helped!
