I filled the bath with cold water to wash my ducks and dropped them in and left them to it, Peppa decided to jump up at the edge of the bath and have a look


All birds ready, paperwork done and in bed for half past midnight. No sooner did my head seem to hit the pillow and it was 4.45 am and alarms were going off.


Peppa had only been in her crate a little over 4 hours but the smell was dreadful so washing machine on, puppy pads into dustbin ( I wish we were on weekly collections as the bin stinks) puppy wiped down and then to the birds.
All done and off for 6.30 am, once again crate and Peppa in first, she now is eager to get in her crate in the car and travels perfectly

When we arrived at the showground they were not allowing vehicles on as it was so wet and muddy and so had put on a fleet of mules to transport people, birds,trade stands, puppy crates etc onto the main field. Soooo Peppa and her crate were chauffeur driven to the field with Peppa in her crate on the back of the mule, I sat on the passenger seat and Geoff waited with the birds to come second load he said she looked like the queen of all she surveyed standing in her crate as we were driven past people pointing and all going "aaawwww".

Once again Peppa was the only dog alowed in the marquee and was placed next to the secretary's table. Birds penned and then breakfast and this show does the most amazing bacon or Edward's of Conwy sausage baguettes. Geoff opted for sausage I had bacon and then the spoiling started


Back to the poultry tent a quick penny spent and then snooze time, we had a bout half an hour off duty which is more than enough to look around and so our friends watched her, in fact one judge had a baby in a push chair and he was parked next to her cage so watching the puppy would amuse him

We went into the council exhibit tent ( I kid not) and a lady asked me if I had a dog



Back to the tent, more official duties and then time for lunch. Todays show cooks lambs whole over smouldering logs till the meat is amazingly tender and you can buy sandwiches which are fantastic ( we forgo our officials ham salad in favour of a lamb bap) . I queued for the butties and Geoff went and got the amber nectar. Peppa by this time is ready for her lunch and as she is a real struggle to get to eat I asked if I could buy a lamb bap without the bread for my puppy please. Silly question, once the word puppy is mentioned and then her story I was given enough lamb to feed a litter of puppies not just one small one

When she woke up I had to fulfill my promise and so carried her to meet the council ladies, they unpacked a smart new pink poo carrier and clipped it to her lead for a photo shoot which was hilarous, she was grabbing at it, rolling on her back, chewing it and generally doing what puppies do best and that is make everyone smile. Lots of pics were taken by the council ladys and Peppa will be the face ( and ears, and tail, and teeth) of the responsible dog ownership push they are doing


Lots of rescue cards were handed out to people and so hopefully the word is spreading into North Wales.
Peppa has beeen amazing all day and so the show awarded her a red rosette which was clipped onto her crate.
Geoff managed to get my car onto the field to load up and one very tired little puppy slept all the way home and once home was pleased to see the gang and they were over the moon to see her.
This week has been mad, I have hardly been to bed, we have done 3 shows in 5 days and yet Peppa the peeing pup has taken all in her stride, I am very proud of her.



Ky
ps I have had a good week with the birds as well
