Apologies for the lack of a blog the past two days. It has been snowy, sleety, rainy, cold, wet and all around winter weather in the UK the past couple of weeks. Needless to say I caught a bit of a nasty cold and just wanted to lay low after filming.
Tuesday saw us filming in Sheffield where we met Charlotte "Lottie" and Takara. Lottie has another inspiring Friends for Life story and again I don't want to spoil it so tune into www.crufts.org and www.thekennelclub.org.uk for more on Friends for Life 2009 nominees. When we first arrived near Lottie's house our car was sliding down the road after we parked it and put on the hand brake as it was so slushy and icy. We did finally mange to park the car securely and we cracked on with filming. Takara is the loveliest pedigree Dalmatian who was quite keen to meet us and was very vocal about our every move! She managed to contain her excitement and sat for our interview.
Although Lottie has a rare disability she still manages her own pet shop as well as a dog training class. Quite an inspiration her and Takara!
We did manage to have some sun in Sheffield (which was nice for a change from last week) I am only sorry my energy levels were a bit down as I would have loved to have run Takara around the park myself to see HOW much energy she really had!
I met some lovely dog owners in the park where we filmed and told them about Friends for Life and Crufts filming. They were all keen to check out Friends for Life and it was nice to hear people get so excited about another Crufts.
Looking forward to more dog stories to share with all of you in the coming days, weeks and months. Let me tell you again how great 2009 will be!
