It has been a while since I have updated the Blog and well today only seemed right to do so. Elmarlay Lunar Moon went to the supreme on a cold and wet morning, the day started off a bit rushed as I had gone to the NEC to help set up the Siberian stand and also my pen as it is always a frantic affair on the morning. The M6 was a car park going and coming so decided it was going to be an early start, well 1st nightmare slept through the alarm woke about 20 minutes after it was set, so mad dash to get out got to the NEC for 7.30am ready for vetting in and ground to a halt had to wait 40 minutes to park as it was like wacky races, slight car park queue rage with a an idiot who thought that she was able to drive straight to the front of the queue and cut us all up, not the smartest move as I don't suffer idiots lightly so she got a head out the window air blue moment, really thought this was going to be a disaster day all round. Parked and made the trek for vetting in, got through no problems, got Lunar looking good although Lunar did feel the wet look suited her better!!!!!
Time for Judging and this was the most nerve racking 1/2 hour of my life but I am pleased to say that Lunar got her Elusive 3rd Grand Certificate against two beautiful chocolate girls which really the class was any ones game. So a BIG Thank You to Mrs Joyce Green for Awarding Lunar her last Grand and making her GRAND CHAMPION ELMARLAY LUNAR MOON, she is not only my 1st home bred Champion but now my 1st home bred Grand Champion. Thank you to the many friends and other exhibitors for the cards and messages of congratulations it is much appreciated.
The Siberian stand had a lot of interest and the breed was being admired by many, so all round a very positive day, Also a special mention has to go to Mandy & Jeff Symonds who's wonderful Dave went Supreme Pedigree Pet, Dave is the 1st Supreme Pedigree Pet but it is also more special as he is a Siberian. So congratulations to Mandy, Jeff & of course Dave.
we had an interesting afternoon of spending far too much money on stocking up on cat food and other cat products, spent far too much as usual. then we had a lovely emergency evacuation to contend with after some bright spark decided to have a crafty cigarette in the toilets and tripped the smoke censor off, we were all told to leave the building but we had to leave our cats, not a good plan myself like many others did not agree with this and me having a big gob, had a run in with a jobs worth who told me to stop being awkward, wrong statement to make so he got a rather blunt statement back, of over my dead body will she stay put, thankfully for him the hall was bought to attention again to say that it was a false alarm and the show was back on.
So a good day, am very happy, tired and broke so not a bad day all round.
