It's been a few years since we made the trek to Bathurst for the show weekend and as usual the weather was lovely.
Ice cold nights and warm beautiful days.
I only had Miss Alchemy and Dante entered in the shows, Mistral came along for the ride and Lestat stayed at a friends place (after so many years his hips are getting worse and worse and I didn't want him to deal with such cold weather)
Allie having some down time at the Bathurst Royal, she wasn't entered but she came along anyway.
Dante and Alchemy both did well for themselves (Dante showed like a little star with so many people comenting on how lovely he was and how well behaved), with Allie taking all three Best of Breeds and Dante getting four Baby Puppy of Breeds and a 2nd place in the sweepsstakes out of a line up of 20 puppies.
Dante showing his little heart out for me
Dante enjoyed his first camping trip although he did get a little cold on the first night (I think he has gotten too use to sleeping in a heated house) and wasn't at all bothered by the fireworks that went off both nights we were there. He even made some new friends with Ahsoka, Jedi and Zero, dogs belonging to some friends. His favourite was grumpy uncle Zero the sibe.
Even Samoyed puppies get cold
The humans could have been a little more comfortable. Our air bed got a slow leak on the first afternoon and by the next morning was flat, so we had to sleep on the cold ground the second night. But with the 6 or so layers of clothing we managed to get into we were pretty warm in the freezing night air.
Next time I am really thinking about staying in a hotel, I don't know how much longer I can take sleeping on the ground haha.
In other news the lovely Yngvie went to a differrent show and got an Open in Group, can't be unhappy with that. So far he's done quite well for himself here in Australia. We also got his hip scores back with a good result so fingers crossed Alchemy's will come back good too and we might just have some puppies by the end of the year.
Another camping weekend coming up soon, I need to get out and buy a new air bed so I don't freeze again.
