Something a little different...yesterday was Dress Up Day for our graduating Year 12 class. The Senior School Leadership Team joined in the fun and came as the Scooby Doo Gang (that's me in the middle as Velma) and poking through you can see Benni (Sup Ch. Armahani Heliodorr Hulivili) as Scoobu Doo.

It had never been my intention to do Melbourne Royal this year. With only getting home from the World Dog Show a month ago and the Specialty weekend coming up in a month, it was meant to be the thing I didn't do this year. But when Georgie asked me if I wanted to come with her, I couldn't resist.
Sorry Damian! 😘
Then the day before Lappie judging I was smacked down with a cold/flu. All through the night before I thought seriously about not going. But when you have traveled you fight on.
Show day I felt awful! 🤧
🩵 But Liina is my very special girl and being on the end of her lead is one my favourite things in the world. I concentrated on physically getting around the ring and just let her do her thing. And of course she did it 🤩
By the time we moved around the ring for Best of Breed, I thought I was going to collapse🥵, but I wanted to work hard for Liina the way she always works hard for me 💖.
Like so many things, dog showing takes a village:
🙏Thank you Damian for holding down the fort at home (again).
🚙To Georgie for making space for us in the Byrebear van .
🏠To Cherelle and Jacqualine for always being so will to accommodate us and play Uber. It is very much appreciated.
🏵To the Finnish Lapphund Club of Victoria for the RUBOB sash.
📸To Jess Fynmore Photography for these cracking ring shots. It was tough to choose!
💓🇫🇮And finally to the Lappie community for such a warm and inclusive day.
