Ready steady go at Crufts

The Lady Of The House and the Girl Of The House are going to be up really, really early tomorrow to spend the day at Crufts.

I'm staying at home with the Man and the Boy Of The House - and I'm quite pleased because I think they are going to have an exhausting day.

Crufts - or dfs Crufts to give it its proper sponsored title - is celebrating its 120th anniversary and as you probably know it's a MASSIVE event at the NEC in Birmingham.

The LOTH and the GOTH have got to make a bee-line for the Discover Dogs area when they arrive to see their friend Mandy who will be with her flat-coated retrievers. Discover Dogs is great because they have areas for ALL the breeds of dogs there are and you can meet them and their owners.

Then they have a long list of exhibitors they want to say hello to - and charities. And then there's the main arena where you can watch heelwork to music, flyball and all sorts of fun canine sports. Then of course there's the little business of the thousands of dogs being put through their paces in the show rings. Crufts is so big it even has its own radio station for the four days that it runs.

The LOTH is also hoping to talk to charities about getting nominated to be charity of the year on the Lost & Fond website. Which reminds me..... if any of my blog readers would like to nominate their favourite pet charity to be supported by Lost & Fond from August 2011 to 2012, you should visit Lost & Fond's pet charities page and find out how easy it is to put a charity forward.

Meanwhile, I'm just going to chill here and wait for them to come back.

Have a lovely weekend.

OMD, I am seriously jealous! Going to Crufts, what an experience that will be. I wonder if the LOTH will bring you back a present, Winnie? It sounds like she is going to be very busy though. Looking forward to reading how it all goes. Good luck to the LOTH with the Charity of the Year nomination:)

Winnie, Don't blame you staying home. You could always watch it on More4 7-9pm each night.

Hope your mum and GOTH enjoy it.

We think you probably made a good choice there, Winnie and you know that man and boy could be great marks for getting some extra treats. Our Mom would love to go to Crufts - so much to see and do. Hope the LOTH and the GOTH have lots of fun.
