We received this Award from our Kerry Blue friends,Jade and Jane.
Here are the official Honest Scrap rules:"When accepting this auspicious award, you must write a post bragging about it, including the name of the misguided soul who thinks you deserve such acclaim, and link back to said person so everyone knows he or she is real. Choose a minimum of 7 blogs that you find brilliant in content or design. Or improvise by including bloggers who have no idea who you are because you don’t have 7 friends. Show the 7 random victims’ names and links and leave a harassing comment informing them that they were prized with “Honest Scrap" weblog. Well, there’s no prize, but they can keep the nifty icon. List at least ten honest things about yourself. Then, pass it on!"
1. I work for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award
2. Its not work I do at all!! I play.
3. I enjoy getting the best from my life.
4. My terriers are always about my feet and stopping me from doing the housework (good excuse)
5. I have lived in Morayshire for 21years now and do not wish to live anywhere else.
6. I love chocolate.
7. I always try to see the best in people but more often can do that with teenagers than adults.
8. I need the help of my son to keep me right with the blog.
9. My job takes me out on the hills a lot.
10. I am always on a diet.
I will pass this onto the following.

Crufts 2009

Caitlin, Jodie and myself left on wednesday morning to travel down to Crufts. This was Jodie's first ever visit to Crufts and was just a little excited!!!!
Jodie was very taken a back when she realised that the welcome to England sign was the only land mark for the border.
We have a few photo's which I will get on later although here is who Caitlin and Jodie met not long after they got through the Crufts door on Thursday. Kate and Gin also Kate's new puppy Ice.

We had a few reasonable wins. Caitlin handled Fergus in Veteran and got 2nd. Ceilidh was 5th in her class. Caitlin and Jodie then had to run up to the Cesky ring and Caitlin and Rowan were 2nd with Jodie and Poppy getting 5th. What an experience for Jodie to go to Crufts then to get in the ring on her first visit there. Sorry we do not have photo's of these wins as we were all handling in different halls.


This is Wilma and Chloe ( Caitlin occasionally handles Chloe in junior handling) winning the Best Puppy in Breed.
