"Details of our journey" Bath Championship Show (uk)

Thanks you for your messages

""On Friday morning, I wake up sick and i go to yvonne's home for 11:30 am, we leave very fast, our boat is for 2 pm but unfortunately we meet problems on the road of Brussels-Ostend. We arrive to Dunkerque for 2:20 pm, too late !
We have there the pzssport control for dog and meet problem with the passport of Girly it was too late of 2 am. i have to ask to my vet to send a fax to say that the dog is healthy and presented this fax to a vet in Dunkerque.We lose a lot of time and finally we take the boat of 6 pm. We arrive in Dover, the hour English time at 7 pm and we have 2:30 am to arrive at our hotel. But everything is not so simple on roads, we have problems on the road and I am even more sick, my voice left. We arrive at our hotel at 11 pm.
After the super show and at 3 pm we leave for Dover and still some problem on the road AGAIN. We arrive at Dover at 6 pm, the boat has just closed the doors we have to wait for the boat of 8 pm which does not arrive, poor dogs who have to wait, we walk them as it is possible to make there and we take the boat of 10 pm. I arrive finally at home when the sun wake up to 5 am in the morning."



Several problems on our journey to Bath and on the return trip, But ! The super results helped us to forget the problems.
Girly was entered in Limit Class, that's to say, one of the most difficult classes for a young bitch of just 25months. There were 25 entered, 19 presented, in the class, several CC's winners among these. After the individual judgings,
Mrs Patsy Hollings the judge, selected 10 dogs, with Girly among these. I thought that this was already good and that was it ! But no, Girly continues and is selected in the last 5 to be placed, and is finally placed 3rd in the class.
To my great joy, I learn that with this result she enters into the Stud Book and is qualified for life for Crufts. What a wonderful day ! I can once again repeat that but I am very very proud of my little Girly Girl ! ! !

Many thank to Yvonne for the trip and for these two rather strange days which we are not ready to forget !

In case you could have choosen to go and got placed that nicely, althoug with some troubles on the way, or have a pleasant journey without difficulties but not get the qualification and stud book, what would you have choosen? No doubt, the version with troubles and a reason to celebrate!!!! Never mind the rest Charlotte!!
