Crufts Here We Come!
01/04/2008
He did it! Solei has qualified for Crufts 2008!
Sarah and Solei were fine together after he’d got used to her being back so I was able to keep her 🙂 I dropped him off yesterday afternoon and had an awful nights sleep! Solei always sleeps cuddled up with me and I really missed him not being there. When I did eventually fall asleep I dreamt he won his class at Boston which was nice!
This morning I was watching the clock ticking over whilst I anxiously waited for the phone to ring! I couldn’t concentrate on anything. I wasn’t too bothered about him qualifying or not, it would just have been nice but no big deal if he didn’t, but the later it got the more everyone’s life seemed to depend on him qualifying 😆
Just before half past ten the phone rang. He came 3rd out of 11! He couldn’t have cut that any finer if he tried could he – lowest possible (qualifying) placement at the last possible (2008 qualifying) show 😆 Apparently the judge wasn’t looking at him and they didn’t think it would be any good but evidently she was more interested than she looked!
It wouldn’t even begin to sink in until the results were on the internet, and even now I can’t quite believe it! I’ve wanted to go to Crufts for so many years and I’ve never been. Now I’m not only going for the first time but I’m going to *show* there!
They’re getting back home very late tonight so I’m not able to pick Solei up until tomorrow. Absence makes the heart grow fonder 😉 Maybe it’ll make him appreciate me more 😆
I think Sarah is suffering the effects of her season tonight. She was fine earlier but she’s quieter this evening and didn’t want her tea. She’ll be going back to T’s tomorrow for a couple of weeks when I pick Solei up so I hope a good nights sleep makes her feel better.
Gosh, what a day. Can’t believe he’s done it!
