Allotment update and R.S.P.C.A. Dog Show.

Hi All...well it's been a while hasn't it....lets start with a quick allotment update...I've been rubbish and my garden grows terribly unless you count the weeds. That's about all i can comment on that for now.

Now to the good stuff...The Annual R.S.P.C.A. Dog Show at Waddington Village Hall and playing fields, for this i have to transport you back in time to last Saturday, 19/07/14.

Why is this the best event?? Simply because this is where we went to meet Trojan last year. After we had decided to get another dog and that it would be a rescue dog we started looking on line and that's where Trojan first caught our eye but when we rang the kennels to ask to visit they said the he had been taken to the show in the hopes of finding him a home so of we went to meet him.

So of course it was only natural that this year would return with Trojan so that he could go and see all of those people that helped him in his first stages of rehabilitation.

We arrived at about 1pm and the dog show was to start at 1:30. We entered Trojan into a few of the categories. After all any money raised was to go to help out the R.S.P.C.A. in all of the good work that they carry out.

The rain started as the dog show did and was torrential for about 20 mins but after it passed the skies cleared and the sun came out and it was a fantastic day. It was a pity about the weather at the beginning of the event though as I think it put quite a few people off!

Anyway we had a wonderful time catching up with Trojans foster family and meeting many of the other volunteers who know Trojan...then of course there were the few that didn't 'know' him but certainly knew 'of' him and a lot of people approached us that day saying' So this is 'The' Trojan.

Everyone was pleased to see him and how well he is doing and it was a great day.

Entering in the Dog Show

On top of all this fun we also had a portrait photo of the three of us...

It was a lovely day out and we will certainly attend again next year and pray the weather is a bit kinder. So if you live close enough by why don't you set a date in your diary for next year and come along and support the fantastic work of the R.S.P.C.A.!!

Oh and just because I haven't yet shared it with you here is another picture of Trojan....
