The Festival of the Wagging Tails 2008

We went to our first dog show today.....and had a great time (not least because no-one had thought to pollute it with ear-poppingly loud music!). Osh was very well behaved (one of the few events where in fact the dogs are worse behaved than the kids!) and so was Dave. Dave, sadly was ROBBED of her rightful prizes: "most original potcake" which was won by a dog called Dobie who was clearly more Doberman than potcake and "best female dog" which was won by some shaggy mongrel. Osh was chief handler helped by Nicky (on the basis that Dave is about the same size as Osh and had she decided to take off Osh would have been trailing behind her like a cartoon character!) and all conducted themselves well. Osh was also chief photographer and here is a selection of his view of the dog show:
