    Not long now until Crufts - are any of you going over?

    We went last year and it was probably the best weekend of my life! We hadn't gotten our dog yet, and the prospect of meeting so many Boston Terriers at one time meant I literally didn't sleep a wink the night before!

    I found it very well organised with a wide variety of different exhibitions and demonstrations to watch, and don't even get me started on the shopping stalls! Have to say - I was very impressed with the "smoothness" of the organisation, and how friendly any of the owners/show-ers we met were.

    Not going this year as I have my lovely puppy to keep me occupied, but definitely hoping to go again in the next couple of years. I think they had live streaming on youtube last year - hope they have it again this year. (I don't have TV so I can only watch the show on 4oD)

    We're showing on the Friday, staying in a hotel on the Thursday night, so am thinking of going up earlyish on the Thursday and spending the afternoon in there, without a dog, having a good wander around. Leaving my purse in the hotel room though :p

    We're going. Off to see the Shih Tzu in action on Sunday and staying on for the best in show.

    It's usually More4 that show Crufts. You can also follow the action on their YouTube Channel.

    Sadly, I won't see Riley. But I'm cheering him on all the way, and I've got my mates at home doing the same, as I've shared his story on FB.

    GO RILEY!!!
