1st Show Tomorrow - Help Please
« on: July 20, 2006, 08:42:48 AM »
Snoopy and I are doing our 1st ever show tomorrow, can't wait but also very nervous.  Snoopy's entered 2 classes and the show is outside, so I'll be making sure Air Con on in car and plenty of sunshade up for him in between classes.  I just wondered what everyone takes to show with them, as I'm trying not to forgot anything

  • Water and water bowl - lots of it - might be good to take a frozen bottle too.
  • Some yummy treats,
  • poo bags, towels and a wet flannel just in case ;)
  • Show lead and brushes.
  • Also take your thinners and straight scissors. There's always that wayward bit of fur that insists on showing up.
  • Don't forget to take drinks for yourself - a cool box is a good idea ;)
  • A folding chair so you have somewhere to sit.

The most important thing is to have a good time. Enjoy yourself.

Good luck. ;)

Best of luck ;) Don't forget your ring clip thing for your number. Let us know how you get on. Aspen's first one is in 3 weeks and unfortunately, his new medication seems to be working very well so he may make it after all ;) :005: :005:

Enjoy your self and remember to breath...   :D keep a little spray bottle in your cool bag handy for spraying inside your dogs mouth to keep cool, if it is small enough you can take it in the ring with you.

Good luck, hope its not too hot and uncomfortable for the dogs and humans ;)

I would say, to pop some paracetamol in your bag for yourself, as I don't know about everyone else, but when I get nervous excitement its always starts off one of those thumping headaches ::)

Thanks for all the advise, I'd forgotten how much stuff I need to pack tonight and had to have shopping trip to destress...... :005:

Just a quick question, are u permitted to take treats with you in the ring?
