Why are we up so early? This is early even for a week day. Wow Tony is up! I’m getting brushed and packed up into the car. What’s going off?

Why are we up so early?

See, they're so sleepy they haven't noticed I'm on the sofa
My goodness me, where did all these dogs come from? We’re in a car park, ness’s phone has been going mad with excited text messages and there are loads of dogs about. Tony has come with us too, which is a good job as we seem to walk a long way (being a man he carries the stuff). Am I at a dog show? I’ve not been to anything like this before…
After about a 20 minute walk (well there were lots of smells) we joined a big queue. Tony and Ness got in a mess with catalogue vouchers, entrance tickets and my admission pass, but they got there in the end. Everyone is so excited!
