Dogs Trust open day

Basenji Talk
  • Today we went to the Dogs Trust open day in Merseyside with Malaika and Kwame.
    It was very well attended and hopefuly they have raised lots of money and rehomed some Dogs.
    We were realy pleased that Kwame was so sociable and he got plenty of practice being stroked and fussed by children which he needs.
    Malaika won a rosette in the prettiest bitch class and has promised to share her bag of goodies with Kwame.
    We were asked about the dogs almost constantly and Malaika did a few tricks for them. She also had a go at the fun agility, it was quite funny to see that she was so intent on following the piece of cheese up the ramp that she didn't appear to notice how high she was untill she got into the middle. She suddenly noticed and looked around as if to say OMG. She did well but wouldn't do the jumps, she couldn't see the point when you could just squeeze underneath.

    I have had a couple stained glass made, but there is normally a 3-4 month lead time as the artists are already booked up for Xmas this yr. Most of the artists on etsy will be booked this late in the yr, I had two quilts and a needle felt made a couple yrs ago and I placed my order in June in order to guarantee Xmas delivery. If you have a nice photo, there is a company called treasure knits that does wonderful woven afghans out of a photo with about a one week turn around. I have had both afghans and pillows made from photos as xmas gifts from them and they do great work.

    Well, the lab I mentioned (chocolate overweight one) almost took me out by slamming into my knee. I commented loudly " he better not insure my knee!" No comment from the owner. Others were keeping an eye on this over exhuberant dog too. Many peeps were standing behind a bench for protection. What really bugs me is that the park has very visible signs when you enter it that say you must have control of your dog.
