Thank you from the AR09 Dogs!
 
I was sat on the sofa last night discussing with Stretch and Saxo how exhausted the dogs have been from the weekend.

My first thank you goes to all those folks that came down our end of the field and listened when I asked you to please ignore Stig for the first few minutes.

The second thanks goes to all of you who kept throwing the balls/sticks that were being repeatedly presented to you by The Stig over the course of the weekend.

At last years AR, we had to keep Stig muzzled pretty much the whole time because, as some know, he is nervous of people, and that can make him a little aggressive. Dan and I have done A LOT of work with him and so this year, with everyone ignoring him initially, he was able to build even more trust in complete strangers and he had a brilliant weekend. Even Hollie did really well as she used to have really nasty aggression towards other dogs.The pics in the AR09 pictures thread says it all really.

So....thanks for assisting in their therapy

thanks Von Teese and Tris for giving them some play mates

and thanks everyone for keeping them running ALL weekend which has resulted in four almost comatose dogs for the past few days....lol

I think every dog there had a fab time!!!

Kaiser and Jerry certainly enjoyed it too, and both of them slept the whole way home!

It's really nice to see a bunch of happy doggies - makes me think we're doing something right :)

And i gotta say never before have i met such a variety of dogs in once place.....that are so obident and well behaved. A true reflection of the love and care their owners give them i think.

That Stig, OMG that Stig. He is the most switched on dog i have ever met.

I am truly gutted that i didnt get a chance to have a friendly wrestl and roll about with big Kaiser tho :( And the little poodle was so cute too. I've always thought podles were unfriendly thiings but he was so sweet. Maybe his age had something to do with that tho.

Lots of doggy cuddles to them all from me. tell em i said, wooof woofwoof woo-woo-woo. They'll know what i mean :lol:

So are this lot.....Squirrel has gone hiding behind the curtain, Stig has come for a cuddle (no suprise there), Saffie is barking at the ceiling and Hollie jumping around like a loony (again, no suprise there)!

Oh, and Spidey......I think they'd all love to spend some more time with you! You've seen Stig at play.....but what you don't realise is that he's the cuddliest dog in the world as well!

Just leave lots of soup and cookies and cakes in the fridge for me and i'm all set. I say this now as i dont have a job, however if i do get a job i'm sure you'll understand that i may not be able to do it as the commute into london might be a bit much on a daily basis, lol.

Haha......good point.....mind you, the jobs that I'm looking at are all in London at the mo, so looks like I'm going to have to do it if I can't find anything decent closer to home!

I think lolling on your feet was supposed to imply some sort of not-running-off-with-spiderman deal ;)

Brilliant pics,

Grunty and Liz, thanks so much for looking after them for us while we were out on the ride. They had a great time.

To the stick/ball/toy throwers whose patience exceeded limits that I did not know could exist (border collies eh?)

To the attention givers, Widget sends his love (and apologises to Stig for the bum bandit scenario)

To those who gave came down to greet /take photos, thank you they loved it all.

Finally to Grunty's dogs, I would have you all in the blink of an eye, what great dogs! It was fantastic how they all got along and played together so well. Mine were whimpering to go back all the time!

Widget was particulary in love with Liz, I think if he knew her address, he would be TWOC'ing my car and off to visit.

Great time was had by all...thanks again for this wonderful opportunity to have fun!

Anyway I'm more used to him being called biscuit at the mo!!!:D

Hope all you guys are well. The dogs were just fab - loved playing with them and especially enjoyed my cuddle with Squirrel on the day you left - sooooo cute!!

Stig is just beautiful and Rich enjoyed playing fetch with him - bought back lots of childhood memories I feel!!
