Fantastic photos and story thread Amanda. What a great but tiring day.Congrats to Katy and the gorgeous Skye a deserving winner.I really struggled with my trousers and had to dump my shoes for the running ;D I am so, so proud of Suggs, sorry he didn't win the cash for WL, butSkye is a true star and won a good amount for his branch.I was stunned Suggs got through to the last ten,the Judge was so gentle when handling him and Suggs didn't flinch, and I thought for such a big lad his run was amazing.I felt quite choked with pride. Flynn won a couple of fifths , Tia won nothing and true to form whinged for most of the day, she did get her nails cut though. ;D Thanks so much for Tracy for handling the whinging little Minx so well and helping me to register the gang.Jens new boy is stunning and will give all of our dogs a run for their money in next years shows.Thank You to everyone for your fantastic very vocal support it really boosted me and Suggs.

Fab photos Tracy, the ones with various dogs running in the ring are brilliant.Love the one with Flynn using Suggs as a pillow.They've shared a rug in the garden today but Suggs never usually tolerates either of them getting that close, so it's a bit special .Think it was comforting for him and Flynn.

Quinn won 5th in Best Condition last year, and Flynn this year! Haha. It's the names, I swear. Well done to all the doggies who won on the day. Quinn and Xander loved their doggy bakery goods, I wish that place had a website!

I had a great afternoon at the GGG. Here's my selection of photos! The WL gang Jen & Harry - how cute! Harry & Lola Xander - 'give me crisps!' Linda & Suggs, Kate & Skye await their turn in the ring in Retired Greyhound of the year class Linda shows Suggs off While Kate & Skye strut their stuff Linda is chuffed that Suggs is through to the final 10. Kate & Skye win Retired Greyhound of the year & £2,500 for the Rugby & Coventry RGT Kate & Skye show the judges what they're made of in Best in Show - where they came 2nd. They was robbed!

We had a great day at the GGG. A special well done to Skye and all the other winners & competitors. Great photos everyone! All the dogs were so well behaved and hardly a grumble or growl anywhere! Jens new addition, Harry is adorable and how gorgeous is Flynn!

Well, what a fab day! Huge congratulations to Katy and Skye on their wins and the 2nd place (I agree Claire, she was robbed!!) Suggs was brilliant and couldn't have been a better WL representative. He did us all proud I was really pleased with Izzys 2nd, she took it all in her stride and loved all the fuss and atention. Morty wasn't particularly bothered (apart from being fed treats) and wanted to spend most of his time snoozing and Ruby surprised us all being very loving and cuddly with everyone she met! What a girl. It must have been Suggs confidence in the ring rubbing off on her What a great, but tiring, day.

Ruby was fab Sarah, I've never seen her so confident and loving, bless her.
Well done to Suggs, sorry I didn't mention him before. It is so amazing when they find their confidence, it makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Hi
It looks like everyone had a great day, I'm only sorry that Blossom and I couldn't make it. Unfortunatly I have 830 reclaimed quarry tiles to clean before I can have my new kitchen floor and that took priority. Blossom is extreemly stressed about the all disruption so time is important.
Well done Skye!

Hi all, my delayed response as always Thanks lots to those who took pics, am pleased to see that Harry made a good impression with WL peeps - feel free to take him home and see if still feel the same after an hour!!! Only joking, love him really I had such a good day at the GGG, everyone did so well and was ultra ultra proud of Suggs in particular - i can proudly say that WL provided the biggest cheers for their entries! And of course i can't not mention our adopted WL boy Skye - what a star! I think most hilarious moment was Brenda denying all knowledge of poor Rudy when he was crying whilst having his nails cut - there the poor boy was screaming away to the extent that everyone turned to see what was occurring to see Bren wandering off whistling nonchalantly as if she had never met him before ;D!!! Thanks all for being best RGT branch!!! Jen, Diz and as Amanda so accurately described him, Energetic Charmer Harry!!! x
