Sunday morning dawned bright and clear and Catriona was to be found with 2 pints of coffee, a pen and a pad, at the kitchen table with Peter giving her final pointers on the Swedish way of doing things. Little did she know that a major conspiracy was going down! Jim and Morag Hay (Tralay) were in Sweden, and were planning a little surprise for her! they had in fact been at the show the day before but had kept out of her sight. Kevan and I were sworn to secrecy, and Peter is much bigger than us, and we were staying at his house. Everyone knew what was going to happen, except Catriona, as Peter had put details on his Swedish Website in Swedish.

Off we go to the show, about 30 minutes drive, no dogs this time as Peter is Secretary of the Club, and was also stewarding. Wonderful venue, by a large lake, surrounded by forest. There was a campsite there with permanent chalets. Jim and Morag had stayed in one of these the night before. Catriona is ready to start, and Peter introduces her in Swedish, reminding everyone of the little surprise. There is general laughter, but Catriona still knows nothing. First class is Puppy Dog (4 to 6 months) and there in the line up is a strange looking bloke with a base ball cap, and thick horn rimmed glasses. Catriona walks towards the dog he is standing, looks at the dog next to it, then goes back, at which point the strange looking bloke says "Great dogs they have over here" in a broad Scots accent. Well here is a picture of the reaction.
