Oh God Elspeth you poor thing, very painful I am sure in fact agony, I have had injuries to my hands so I know you must be very sore indeed, no you shouldn't really show on the wrong side as it means she is on the side furthest away from the judge HOWEVER if you have a word with the steward they will have a word with the judge and they will be quite understanding, how about you stand her and Gregor moves her? You can stand her the wrong way round, thats allowed. But honestly have a word with the steward they should help sort something out, just don't go and make yourself worse. I wouldn't let anyone else take her in as you may get offers of well intentioned help but as she is such a baby that has been put off I would not let her go with anyone else. If I was nearer I would do it for you, I wonder how much to fly up?


Congratulation to you both Karen, glad you celebrated and did something together, we usually plan to but it never happens!

Have a lovely day everyone.
