Dear Zak,

It was the VAWZ Scruffs Day last Sunday so we decided to take Molly along, she being a genuine rescue and a “scruff” to boot. Hey, she won a second prize in the Best Rescue Dog category!

There were lots of other categories of course and some agility displays too. We didn’t stay right until the end though. That’s when they have “The Dog the Judges Would Most Like to Take Home” category that Jenni won all those years ago. Jenni was not impressed with all the attention and just wanted to get to me and go home. If they’d had a Best Looking Dog award you’d most certainly have won it my boy.

I don’t recall a “Dog Most Like its Owner” class but there were a number who were remarkably alike.

There was plenty of time between categories for just plain fun.

Lots of people and their dogs well known in the doggy world were there. Sam is a well-known trainer.

An agility course was set up and several dogs and trainers showed how it was done. Some dogs were amazing others, shall we say, had a lot of fun! It was a great atmosphere and I think it went off well.

Molly continues to fit in very well. She and Themba play a lot which is why we got her and that’s also acceptable to Tia who sometimes joins in and otherwise is content to just watch.

Last night when I arrived back from flying models, Molly for the first time jumped up at my truck door and gave me kisses. Yes, I think it’s going to work out well with her although she is a bit of a barker which can be annoying. She has a thing about crows – they need to be barked at and she most certainly doesn’t know what to make about my drone, which is annoying.

Love you as always…
