Well... we're finally sitting down after today's event.
A massive thank you to everyone who stopped by the Ruff to Regal stand today. It was a full family affair with my mom, my partner, Isabella, me, and of course Wallace, who clearly believed the whole event had been organised just for him.
I honestly don't think any of us stopped talking all day. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces and meet lots of new ones too. Thank you for all the support, kind words, cuddles, treats and encouragement.
Wallace was living his best celebrity life, greeting everyone and soaking up every bit of attention he could get. In fact, while Isabella was in the Junior Handler class, he decided she wasn't handling him quite the way he wanted and promptly escaped. One minute they were competing, the next Wallace was doing an unscheduled lap of the arena, strutting around like he'd paid for the event and making sure every single eye was on him.
Thankfully, Isabella took it all in her stride and was absolutely over the moon to win Junior Handler. Then somehow, despite Wallace's brief audition for freedom, the pair of them went on to win Best in Show.
We're incredibly proud, slightly exhausted, and fairly certain Wallace now thinks he's some sort of celebrity.
Thank you all for making it such a brilliant day. A fantastic charity, fantastic people and a fantastic atmosphere.
We'll be back doing it all again in two weeks at Armitage... assuming Wallace hasn't hired himself an agent by then! 😆
