Sophie, you must post a photo of Ilka and Sid with all their rosettes you'll win on Monday! I was hoping to take Domino to another family show on Sunday near West Bay, but the weather forecast looks awful, heavy rain, so I shall wait and see. I don't fancy a day getting soaking wet.

Will keep Leah in my thoughts, I'm sure she'll make the most of her time especially as I'm sure she knows she is being spoilt. At least she is well at the moment.

I took Domino to the Improvers training last night. I'm a bit confused as most of the dogs' behaviour was worse that those in the beginners class. The only two dogs to do as they were asked were Domino and another rescue dog that were in the beginners class last week. I didn't like the trainer as much either, so we'll see how we go. Domino was a star anyway and it's still good socialisation for her.

This morning out on our walk, Domino had a little scrap with an old staffie cross. I'm not sure why they took a dislike to each other and I'm not sure who started it but they didn't hurt each other. They were both off their leads. Domino wouldn't come back to me though when I called her to start with, grrr. So now I'll have to watch out for strange dogs as well as squirrels and put her back on the lead!
