We loved Crufts

10/03/2008 by Arielle.

I took my 4 children plus a friend to Crufts today. We were all so excited and joined the throngs of animal lovers at the NEC. The section with dogs from all over the world was our favourite.

What a wonderful selection of loving, happy dogs that were still full of wags for the us all when we must have been the thousandth hands that were stroking them that day! My children were fascinated by all the different breeds and I was so impressed by how healthy and happy all the dogs were.

I lost my 4 year old daughter Emily at one point. My son noticed that she was not with us and when I turned around all I saw were masses of people and my heart skipped a beat. It didn’t take long to find her at the dogs for the disabled stand. She had stopped to pick up a coupon that had fallen out of a Eukanuba booklet (one of the many free booklets we were all handed). When she looked up to hand it to me I had gone. I felt very guilty when she told me this!

We also managed to get very lost on the way home as I took one wrong turning, so it was a long drive home but certainly worth it as we loved our day.

It is a reminder to me how much we all value our pets and again how valuable a career as a pet sitter is.
