nother update

Wed we all decided to go shopping at the outlet store. Amazing place, and lots of bags were added to the luggage. Lotsa orange stuff for CHB people - got one t-shirt so can look the part at next show. Carol K kept getting left behind - just couldn't leave those shops! We all had lunch together at Billy Barkers - apart from the Wino Wellington's who were off to the Barossa Valley.
Afternoon we split up - Carol, Diane, Elaine and I are sharing a motel and car/trailer - absolutely brilliant trailer with huge bays. Dogs are all very happy in there. So we took dogs for a walk on the beach and then went to buy water (ha ha) at Woolies, and more shopping a few blocks away. Lyn was visiting a chiropractor, and others went for a huge walk around Adelaide to see old buildings etc.
A 6pm our 4 plus Clare followed some very obliging Adelaide and WA people to the Para training club - about 45 minutes away. We did think that the Aussies might be leading us down the garden path and about to abandon us miles away in the hope that we didn't make it back until Friday! But, they were such great people to follow - much better than any kiwis!! Stopped after each red light that we were stopped at, and also ensured that we got home safely.
Thanks to the Para club and Joy - this was a great training session with lots of stations, and less dogs. The way they pack up stuff is amazing - everything is on wheels. Today I will try and take videos of stuff - Kat, Lester might have some work to do cos he will love these ideas! Apparently they have a "Victor" at their club, sounds rather like Lester!
Our dogs trained well again, so we are looking forward to competition tomorrow.
Today we had to go the vet again - poor Cannon was front-lined last wed, Advantaged multi last sat, and then front-lined again today. There will be no fleas within a mile of him! This vet check was to prepare for our return and we have to go again on monday.
Now those of us on the 2nd wave are at Hahndorf - lovely German village with lots of things to buy. Ngarie has been a bit carried away buying owls - won't say how much she spent, but obviously the privacy act is not quite the same here cos we weren't with Ngarie, but the lady told us that she had been there, and how much she had spent!
Raining on and off today. Others are walking around while I am updating it - hope you all appreciate it! Did have lovely hot cholocate and scones when we got here, and lunch plans.
This afternoon we are going to help set out the rings for tomorrow - helpful kiwis that we are! Will take opportunity to photo their gear - the tyres are also amazing cos they are not made out of tyres, so have a larger circle, much safer for the dogs and the system to chnage heights is really cool. Long jump boards are all the same height so you can jump them both ways - haven't seen small dogs having issues with them tho. Everyone wants to dognap Raisin, so we are going to have to keep a close eye on him!
That's enough rambling - lots of lolly shops to look through!!
