Day 17 – Sunday 3 July 2016 – Alice Springs

Another dog show today so we were up at 5.30am in the freezing cold again.  This time poor Kitty had to have another bath.  First light saw her dunked in the warm water much to her disgust and thankfully I timed it all perfectly getting her dried and managing to get changed into my suit with 10 minutes to spare before judging commenced……. Or was it perfectly timed?????

A quick opportunity for Kitty to go to the toilet before heading over to the judging area resulted in an unfortunate incident requiring some emergency bathing and drying.  Talk about cutting it fine – being the 7th dog in the ring that morning, we made it to the assembly area with moments to spare and Kitty was again Best of Breed leaving a mere 3 points required for her Championship.  Unfortunately though being on at 9.00am meant that the grass was still very wet and on finishing the breed we had to head back over to blow dry again.  Show - Blow Dry seemed the order of the day as we had to have a couple of goes in order to keep her dry for the final show when she again went Best of Breed and qualified for her Championship title.  YAY Kitty!


Taking advantage of the fine weather for the day, Shane took another drive out west to Hermannsburg and had much more success with photos than the day before.  But for me - sadly yes - no photos.
