Caitlin

Yesterday Caitlin was 15 years old. As her favourite film and musical was Annie when she was younger we thought we would suprise her with a visit to Eden Court. We picked the busiest performance and it was fantastic. Sue Pollard was a great Miss Hannigan. The star of the show had to be Danny the dog who played Sandy (soft coated wheaten terrier).
Later she had some friends over for a sleep over as usual not much sleeping was done.
We will post some photos later.

Gillie

Caitlin asked our friend if she could have a try at showing their dog Gillie this is the before and after pictures getting ready for tomorrows show.

Honey

We have had Honey around a year now. Although Caitlin can sit on her back we have since learn that Honey had been running feral in the New Forest and had not been in human contact for the first 3 years of her life. So we have really gone back to basics, it has been a very long and sometimes not very rewarding. She has now accepted and joined up using the long rope method. So watch this space.
