Fun Weekend

We are back from our weekend in Derbyshire and the WSSC Birthday Celebrations.  We had a fantastic time meeting up with our bestest friends Fergus, Dougal, Max and Inca (oh, they brought Auntie Debbie and Uncle Dave with them as well) as well as old  friends Milly and Poppy.

Dad took loads of photos, so I hope you are sitting somewhere comfy if you intend to read on.

Mum spent a lot of time trying to keep us cool over the weekend - she said the gazebo thingy came into it's own!

Here we are keeping cool on Friday afternoon before the fun began...

Fergus on the other paw found underneath the caravan the coolest place









On Saturday morning Inca and I went off to do some gundog training stuff which left Murphy as photographers assistant, although he look a bit reluctant here!

Uncle Dave took these shots of Inca and Me - thank you Uncle Dave for getting the shots of me carrying a dummy!

On Sunday more Welshies arrived and there was showing, agility and racing for us to enjoy. Murphy came second in the Veteran class (although I think he should have won it) and brought home a lovely blue rosette.

Max won Best Treat Catcher and came second in the Scurry completing the course in about 9 seconds (I'm not sure of the exact time, he was so quick). He was beaten by a whisker by an Irish Water Spaniel who I thought spent all of their time swimming not running about.

To everyone's surprise, including himself, Murphy made the quarter-finals of the Welshie v Welshie Race which Mum said was amazing as he was at least 5 years older than any of the other competitors!  I was knocked out by none other than Dougal.  I'm going to have to practice - can't have the little brother beating me!

We had a lovely, if very hot, weekend and to top it all there was a cake - sadly not for us, but we had lots of other treats so that was fine.
