The only way that we can make a show day work, is to have as many people helping as possible.

My mum is our absolute legend. She is always on hand for Caitlyn-wrangling, amusing her, keeping her occupied, fed and out of trouble. She also makes sure I have a drink, something to eat and actually sit down.

We also have a huge amount of support from our breed, from Debbie, who bought her the little pink stool, Auntie Beccie and Laurie who keep a close eye on her and let her cuddle their dogs, Tracey, who guides her and supports her in the ring, to Tom, Jodie, Kasia, Karen, everyone who talks to her, keeps an eye on her, or supports her in the ring.

At Open shows we have a whole community that helps her. Auntie Janet, who let's her stand on her knees when I forget to pack her stool, Karen, who helps her lift Zee on and off, Nanny Julie, Auntie Keira and Auntie Bethan, who are always there to distract her, play with her, and stop me from losing my mind!

Having a dog show kid is a lot of work. I absolutely love it, and could not be more grateful for the people around us who help me make this look easy!

Finally, it's the end of the the day. At this point Caitlyn is usually extremely tired and starting to become wilder, emotional and pushing all the buttons. It's about this time you'll probably see me losing my cool, because I'm also shattered!

We pack up as fast as we can, because generally Caitlyn is telling us she is tired and wants to go home. She still doesn't quite have the emotional regulation to understand that we can't immediately just pick up and leave, and that it takes a while to pack and reload the car. So we usually distract her with some crisps or something special for a treat while she sits in the car seat.

The drive home we talk about our day, and then she usually crashes out and naps most of the way. She gets a second wind when she gets home, and runs into the house to tell Daddy what she's done. She is responsible for making sure Zee gets onto the house, has a drink and goes out for a wee. Otherwise I don't ask her to help as she's probably done more than enough by then!

A warm bath, tea, an episode or two of Bluey or Spiderman, and it's off to bed ❤️

Finally, it's ring time. If we are at an Open show we are generally showing against eachother in the same class. At Championship shows, I show Gatland in the dog classes, Caitlyn shows Zee in the B*tch classes.

Now this can go one of two ways. Either they beat me, or Gatties and I beat them. We have had both results in the past.
She doesn't like to have any help in the ring, other than to get Zeeva onto and off the table, she is highly independent and keen to do it all herself.

Wherever she places, I fully expect her to show good sportsmanship. She has been taught to shake hands with the winners and the judges, and congratulate everyone.

She does love to win, of course she does. We all do! But the truth of it is that Zeeva is not always going to top the class. And that can be hard to take when you're four. When she beats me, she is absolutely delighted.

Yesterday I won the class and Best of Breed, and Caitlyn and Zeeva came third. I was so impressed with how she handled it. She shook hands with me, and with Jen who came second. She left the ring and went to Grandma. It was only after we got back into our tent did she say that she had really wanted to win, and she didn't want to come third. We reassured her and told her that she did well, and that everyone loses, and that's ok.

A quick rice cake or two and a play on the funfair and she was happy as Larry.

Once we arrive, it's a fine line between her helping, and getting in the way. We have a pretty slick operation getting two adults and four dogs out and set up. Throw in a helpful 4 year old who is high on excitement, and this is not *quite* so easy. But she's learning how to set up camp. She loves to ride in on the trolley. She is in charge of her own chair and suit bag, and any drinks she has had in the car.

Then there's the waiting. Oh boy.

This. This is why we bring snacks. So. Many. Snacks. Apparently the way to my child's heart is through quavers and rice cakes.

Keeping a lid on the excitement and stopping her from getting too bored and therefore bonkers is hard, especially when there are multiple dogs to prep. This is where having such a supportive breed community and open show circuit is invaluable. They talk to her, read her stories, let her walk their dogs, anything to take the pressure off. This is why you rarely see me being her without Mum with us. I literally could not do this without her.

She gets her own dog ready, she has her own leads, armbands, bait bag and brush. Zeeva never used to like this part, but now Caitlyn is doing it, she's actually behaving herself! We then have to get her into her suit, and somehow manage to keep it, and her, clean! She loves wearing her suits, and sometimes it's a challenge to get her not to put on as soon as we arrive! Finally, we get her hair done and fixed into place with Plush Puppy!

Then the worst part of the waiting. The last few classes before she goes in. It's generally me hanging onto her for grim death while she is practically levitating with excitement. Zeeva remains absolutely chill the entire time.

Let's talk about taking children to dog shows.

What you see in the photos is merely a quick snapshot at the point where everything has come together and everyone is happy. The reality is, dog show kids are HARD work.

The next series of posts is to give you a bit of an insight into just how we manage!

She helps get Zeeva ready, and is involved in bathing her and making her beautiful. I do the majority of the grooming as it involves scissors and clippers, but she brushes her through and stays to give her lots of praise. She does get bored and generally goes off to play on the trampoline if I'm taking too long.

She checks I have packed her leads and armband, and finally she puts Zeeva's special brush back into the box.

To get her ready, I actually have to rely on her going to bed on time, and staying there (and that's a challenge and a half when she is excited!). And that's after she has picked her suit, hairbands and checked that I've groomed Zeeva to her standard.

And yes. She's a perfectionist 🤣

Once she is actually asleep I have to pack the car, organise the food and make sure we have everything to keep her cool/warm and amused. Alongside the grooming box, the suits, the bag we also have to pack books, crayons, and puzzles. It's easily another two bags.

To make sure she is all set in the morning, we get up, have breakfast, or put it ready to have when we get there. She then puts Zeeva in the car herself, and leaps into her car seat ready to go.
