Hello Percy and Deida....
Conker sends a woof, and wants you to know he won some dog food, too ! :o)

I have no doubt Truffle will also win Best Six Legs! When he can stand still long enough...!

Truffle is just a bit too lively for some of these dog show classes. Lol.

woof Conker ..amazing you must have been brill to get dog food also,yummy
hope you don't mind sharing...wags Percy

Bless......TT this is a real picture to treasure......

It's great to see some good news in a world often full of unpleasantness.

Well done both & congratulations!

Thanks Milky, and Deida...
Truffle thinks the idea of dog shows is that Conker does all the work and Truffle eats all the winnings. Lol.

Whooops, missed your comment, Oddbillie ~
Thank you... Conker really enjoys the tricks class....:o)

Well done TT and Congratulations Conker , we always knew you were the best , how nice that Conker should be a winner at something that he enjoys doing so much , he's a natural heart breaker .... :o)

WOW .. TT .. I really envy your legs , conker isn't the only winner :o) x

Thanks Amy.... Conker loves the charity dog shows very much...
He wasn't well enough to attend the spring and summer shows, so I'm glad I've been able to get him fitter that he can enjoy the last few shows of the year during this autumn..... :o) x

LOVE IT!!!! Many CONGRATS to all the legs!! That judge knows a champion when she sees one! :-))

Wonderful. Great to know that Conker is still impressing the judges. Unfortunately I do have one complaint. In future please keep your legs to yourself as they are a real distraction. I can feerl another cold shower coming on.

Thanks, David... the judge really did like Conker :o)

Hi Toto ~ I'll ask Conker to keep his legs to himself... Lol... twice...Lol.

As you like TT but I know that you know to whom I was referring.

Lol. :o)

Lovely photo TT and yes I admire your legs as well, lovely to see Conker doing so well, congratulations to him. Great to see what you look like, very glamorous I must say.

Toto liked your legs that much TT, He had to say it twice lol..

PS no one has mentioned the T shirt :)))

Too busy admiring TT's legs to notice the T shirt, very nice though.

Lol. Dee... two showers for Toto..Lol.

Hi Bob...Conker is getting quite dismayed... he is sure that when we compete in Best 6 Legs. it is his 4 legs which keep us winning...Lol.

Hahahaha this thread is gett'n funnier..

Lovely photo, TT! So pleased to hear that Conker has won a rosette & dog food at the show.

My best wishes for you both at the vets on Wednesday. I really hope the swelling in his face is caused by an infection not a reappearance of his cancer.

Boli is not energetic enough to send any wags this time & I don't have a tail! Lol! Nevertheless we wish you all the best. :)

Hello again Dee... glad you mentioned the T shirt... Lol.

Hello Balcony ~
Sorry to hear that Boli has a bit less energy this week...
maybe a little honey licked off your fingers would help ?
Conker has started having Manuka honey from my fingers at bedtime
( thanks, Arlene ! xxx )

Thanks, Balcony, for your good wishes for Wednesday... I'm getting anxious already... the swelling on Conker's face has gone down somewhat, but not gone away completely.... just hoping the vet won't say it is the cancer coming back....

Fingers crossed...xxx

Fingers crossed TT xxx

...thanks Dee. xxx

Terra its grand to see Conker and you receiving your prize,praying all goes well for you on Weds..........

Lovely to hear that Conker is feeling a lot better now and is performing again. Our hedgehogs come to the garden every night. They are all looking well. I switch on the kitchen light and go into the darkened conservatory to watch them. They certainly like peanuts and sunflower seeds.

Hi Lincslass.... thanks for your kind wishes for Wednesday..xxx

Hello Linda ... yes, Conker is enjoying performing again. In fact he has a furry hedgehog in with his gardening tricks..Lol.
Lovely that your hedgehogs are visiting every evening :o)

Lovely to see Conker performing and winning!

Hi Marydoll....
Thanks.... Conker so enjoys his trick performances :o)

Great pic! Whats on the t-shirt??

St Tiggywinkles - Aylesbury.. Save The Hedgehog...

Some years ago I raised money for St Tiggywinkles by organising and judging a charity dog show... at that time, Les Stocker and his wife were running their St Tiggywinkles wildlife rescue from their small house and garden...

I was invited to visit them to present the cheque... the little garden was amazing... full of rescued deer, hedgehogs, birds etc, waiting to be returned to the wild when in full health.... this worthwhile charity so deserved larger premises. Les Stocker whizzed through the kitchen on his way out to rescue a swan, and paused to kindly sign my copy of his wildlife rescue book..

Some while later, the charity obtained wonderful purpose-built larger premises, and St Tiggywinkles is now a very big establishment with spacious accommodation and hospital facilities for hedgehogs and other wild animals and birds... :o)

Well Done Conker!

~just been to the Tiggywinkles site and it sounds as though they already have 500 small hedghogs and each one costs £111 pounds to overwinter so they are asking for funds~they take paypal etc if anyone wants to help!

Hi Gardengirl... Conker says thank you... :o)

Hello Arlene ~
Thanks for the extra info. about St. Tiggywinkles. x

Well done TT.... and Conker......so lovely to see Conker getting best in show.....you must be so pleased........

Hello Holly ~
Yes, thanks, it was a very special day... Conker enjoyed himself so much...

Oh Wow ~
I've just looked at the top of the page and it says this is GoY photo number 100,000........
...........and this is my GoY comment number 25,000 .....

Wow youve set the record...lol

and, Holly, I've just put the first of my next 25,000 comments on your carrots and pumpkin pic. Lol. :o)

YeeHaw!!! Yip-Yip-Yip...YeeeeHaw!!!..Look at you two! .Good job conker!..Tail wags and waves and xxxx's and hugs! You both are looking great!

Sorry TT for delay - I've only just found your photo - nice to put a face to the "voice" as they say !!!! You look so chuffed listening to the lady's comments (as does lovely Conker) ....

Altho' p'raps you could consider a visit to Conker's hairdresser on the way home!!! He looks so well groomed and not at all windswept!!!

Lol Terry60 ~
Funny you should write that... a few minutes ago I phoned to book my annual haircut... Lol. !
I groom Conker once or twice a week...he is managing to keep quite a good coat, despite the chemotherapy...:o)

nice one terra keep up the good work lovel conker.good luck to you both in the future.lol.kev.

Hi Kev...
Thanks for your good wishes... Terra xxx

Just seeing this for the first time, TT..
I suggested that "mom" should show up in a photo too!
As everybody has already said, nice legs. lol
Congrats to Conker on another award, and to Truffle on taking a lovely pic!
xoxox

Ps-i'm guessing you mentioned the height of the judge so we wouldn't think yourself a shortie? lol

Hi NN... and yes, Conker has nice legs...LOL...
....and I'm certainly not short Lol.

Truffle is getting to be a good photographer isn't he... Lol. ;o) xxx

Conker IS looking well Terra...lovely coat. Truffle got the shot just right!

Those other dogs didn't stand a chance against "our" Conker. I feel like he belongs to all of us.
Aw, yes, Truffle you too.

Hi Fluff ~ Conker say thanks....

Truffle is now very adept with that camera...Lol.

Hello Weeds...
What a lovely thing to say ~ that you feel Conker and Truffle belong to all of us...:o)

Conker enjoyed a sunny dog show today and has yet another show planned for tomorrow ! :o)

Another apology for arriving to this late ! Brilliant photo...and Conker looks so proud ! Wont even comment on legs...so much been said already ! Lol.Hope todays show went well Terra ! xx

Hi Jane/BB...
Thanks for comments.... I've sent you a p.m. about the shows... don't miss the bit about Truffle nearly falling off the judging table, and knocking the judge's "JUDGE" rosette onto the grass... Lol.

Somehow he then won BEST PUPPY IN SHOW.... and a trophy the size of a dinner plate...a good time was had by all.. :o)

Got it ! The bit about the judges rosette hitting the deck is tooo funny ! Lol Well done all !!

OOOoooooo TT well done 2 u both what a lovely Sunny day 4 it all 2 be happening :)

Haha Truffles, you're only a puppy once, just go ahead and be cute all you want!

Just been to south wales on holiday and saw some hedgehog houses, so Gerry is going to make me one for the bottom of the garden.

Thanks, BB, Jac and Weeds. :o)

Simplylyn ~
The judge is the lovely tall lady with the beautiful blonde curly hair.
She was very well liked by everyone at the dog show and fete.

Hi Linda ~
I hope you had good weather in South Wales...
... lovely scenic hillsides ! :o)
That's kind of Gerry to make you a hedgehog house...
I hope you'll be able to put a pic of it on GoY. :o)

We had sunshine sunshine sunshine. Saw red kites and buzzards hares and plenty of sheep but no dragons flying around although I did bring a mini red one home to nest.

Wow, wonderful Welsh sunshine !
Careful, Linda ~
that nesting dragon could produce babies and you'll have little red dragonettes everywhere. Lol.
Would make a great story for one of your children's books ? :o)

I've created a poem that I am going to work on, but a red dragon would be different woudn't it.

I reckon you could write dragon themes really well, Linda...
..maybe put it on GoY as a blog with some photos ? :o)
A little winter time task for you...Lol.

Gerry says he's married to a dragon with red hair, but don't believe it for one minute. I may be fiery sometimes but I don't breathe fire!!!! HE HE HE!

Oooh, Linda... I'm not sure whether to believe Gerry or you...Lol...
seems like Gerry has experience of lovely red heads and could be technical advisor on your dragon stories... :o)

I've made a start on another Twinkle adventure for the third booklet. It involves the little red dragon.

Lindak, I hope you will post it on GoY when it is done!

I had not heard of Truffles fun day!...lol..good for him! I loved your windswept hair TT..you looked great ...all legs were beautiful and you both looked quite happy! xxx ~Cat

I can't Weeds as I am selling them for the Cats Protection League at Dalberry Lees. I might post the story of Wriggle the caterpillar up though.

Good, I'd love to see one. I write little stories and poems for my grandchildren and then draw the pictures and print them off the computer and laminate them and bind them (just for the my grandkids though.)

Well done Weeds I'm sure they love them. It's so costly to get them into print properly these days and there are so many people writing, although I have got lots of poems in books. but don't get payment for it. At least people are reading them. We make up books at home and give the whole of the money made to charity to help them whatever the cause. It's a matter of enjoying what you do. Gerry reckons that Wriggle the Caterpillar will be too big for the blog but I am putting together film with the story for youtube so will keep you posted.

I'm late seeing this as we were on holiday - but I am still adding congratulations! Well done, both of you! :-D

Thanks, Barbara...
Did you have a good holiday ?
Conker enjoys himself so much at these events...
He won the Trick Class trophy again at both shows last weekend...

I'll make a blog on these charity dog shows at the end of the season, around Oct/Nov timeframe... I've taken some photos of plant stalls at these shows. :o)

We did indeed, thanks - see first blog!! I have enough photos tucked away for another couple, too!

Plant stalls, eh? I shall have to take Henry to Dog Shows....;-)

I have one particular charity dog show plant stall pic. from last week, which I plan to put on GoY as a photo.

The stalls vary from amateur gardeners setting up stands to sell their own plants in aid of the charity, to small nurseries with very lovely, healthy plants, selling to show goers, and then giving a percentage of their profits to the charity... :o)

VERY tempting, then! :-) Now that raises the question - do most dog owners enjoy gardening? Or are the stalls there for the spectators? lol.

After dog shows, I travel home in my friend's car ~ with my two dogs and lots of show gear.... so the only place for any plants purchased is on my lap. Lol.

It seems most dog owners enjoy gardening... and they certainly appreciate the bargain prices of plants at these events. ! :o)

Your photos are terrific! Pets and flowers/and the added bonus of children, nothing like 'em.

Thanks, Hmhb...
...so pleased you enjoy my photos :o)

Lovely pic TT, going to my favourites. You both deserve the best. Congratulations to Conker who is always a champion!! Warm cuddles from Fiji xxx

Hi Panther...
Conker says thanks for putting our picture on your favourites...

I feel so fortunate that he recovered his health sufficiently to enjoy the charity dog shows of late summer and this autumn...

The shows are almost at an end for this year now, and I don't know how long Conker will survive into next year, but I'll have some some wonderful memories and photos to look back on.... xxx

Cherish the moment TT, life is a blessing xxx

Thanks, Panther..... xxx

Yes, here is the pic I saw, it was probably the same show!!

Different show...same shorts, same legs, same dog..:o) Lol.

Lol TT - mind you, if I had your legs I would be wearing those shorts too!!

Lol. :o) Thanks...

Bet they're well tucked away now though TT,your legs and the shorts lol :)

Lol...Aster...
.... Everything in hibernation till the springtime...:o)
