Me and Mummy got in the car and drove to London. The G8 summit was on so we had to go the back road to get to the next motorway junction. I did a poo in the car just before we got to the next village. We had been in the car for about 2 minutes. She was not a happy mummy. She stopped the car and I said "Oh goody we are here." "No Carly," Mummy sighed, "We are not here." Then she put my poo in a bag and threw it in a hedge cos she didn't want to drive all the way to London with a poo on the seat next to her.
When we got to Reading we stopped at the motorway services. They have a nice services there. There is a massive dog walking area with woods and fields to run on and a big picnic area. Mummy went in and got us a burger king dinner then I got out the car and we went for a walk and ate our dinner. I had half a rodeo burger and half a bag of chips but Mummy had all the coke to herself and I had a bowl of water.
Then we drove to Aunty Louise's house. My friends Penny, Bertie and Frank were there. Mummy told me I had to be on my best behaviour. No snapping or growling. I said I would try but no promises. Mummy and Aunty Louise had to go and do a homecheck so they said I could come too. They said it would be good practice for the lady and her Basset to meet a six year old girl cos that it what I am and that is what they are adopting if the homecheck went well. Which it did. And the Basset was lovely and cute and I didn't snap or growl and she showed me her toys and her garden. I didn't want to play though. I don't play much. Except with Lotty. But not Bessie cos she scares me when we play.
When we got back to Aunty Louise's house we houndies had our tea and I won the fastest eater competition. Mummy said it wasn't a competition and did the others not look like they were enjoying their dinner first. I don't care. Fastest eater gets the best spot on the sofa.
After the humans tea Aunty Sam and Shirley came and we all went for a walk round the block. A stoned Lithuanian man tried to kiss us all. We all got a bit high from the smell of the drugs him and his friend were trying to hide so we went home and ran round the garden for a bit before bed.
On Saturday morning we got up super early and Uncle Dave drove me, Penny and Shirley and the mummies to Primrose Hill. He found the best parking spot ever right outside the park gates and we went to Pup Aid. This is a big charity dog show about puppy farming. We got there a bit early though and the show wasn't open yet so we we walked to the top of the hill and took some photos and watched the joggers. Apparently nobody says joggers anymore, they are called runners. Pah. While we were sat there this man came over and said "Is that the dog show down there?" And we said it was but it wasn't open yet. He walked off then came back a minute later and asked us if Hannah was there. We said we didn't know but Dave was. Haha. Still don't know who Hannah is.
Then we went to sign up for the dog show. They were only letting 50 people into each category. Shirley didn't want to enter but me and Penny entered prettiest bitch and best rescue and the lady said we could join in with the rescued brood bitch parade later. After we got our numbers we went for a walk to look at the stalls. Most of them were selling very expensive stuff but Mummy bought a bag of dried whitebait for me to share with my friends. We met another Basset. She was pretty but very grumpy. She growled at me but I didn't growl back. In fact I didn't growl or snap at anyone all day. Mummy and the Auntys said they was very proud of all of us cos we were such good girls.
There was a stall doing grooming. Penny had hers done last week by Spongedog but me and Shirley needed our nails doing. Shirley didn't really like it though so she only had one nail. I let them do all mine and they didn't even charge. We was super pleased with my maniped.
We met loads of people who was useful to our rescue and Mummy and the Auntys had their Basset Rescue Network t-shirts on and lots of people asked about our rescue. We met some celebrities too. The compere was Annabel Giles. And the guest judges were Sue Perkins off the bake off and Peter Egan who used to be in Keeping up appearances and now he does tons for animal welfare. We met Marc the vet. Penny had her photo taken with him. And Rachel Reilly who does the maths on countdown was there too but we didn't see her. Annabel Giles was very funny. She made us laugh lots.
We didn't win anything in the dog show and the brood bitch parade was a bit embarrasing cos even though they said we could join in and there were a few others that joined in, the lady who was reading out the cards about the dogs just read out what was on the card even though the dogs were stood in the wrong order and didn't come and ask about the extra dogs that had come in. There were only three extras it would have taken two minutes to talk to us. And all the people behind were going, "Which one is she talking about now?" We wish we hadn't bothered really. But then a lady came to talk to us later, we don't know who she was but she said she went to parliament with Marc the vet about the petition to ban the sale of puppies and kittens in pet shops so we think she must have been one of the organisers. Anyway she was very nice and asked about our rescue.
We had a lovely day out and by the time it was home time we were all very tired and Uncle Dave drove us all home. The boys were cross cos they had to stay home but we gave them some of our dried fishies and they were happy.
