Maja's First Highland Games!

Yesterday saw us at the Gordon Castle Highland Games.  Lots of people, children, dogs, pipe bands, dancing, flame act, bubbles! and food dropped on the ground - so guess where Maja's nose was most of the time! She was very good although all the training and heelwork seemed to be forgotten in the excitement of the whole event. 

She took it all in her stride, meeting dogs, people and children.  We were a bit worried about the number of children walking about with cakes in their hands at perfect Ridgeback height but as her nose was on the ground most of the time hoovering up chips, sweets etc she, thankfully, missed the opportunity.

 And the bubbles were hard to catch!

Kobe had his usual "I've seen it all before" look on  -  the most attention of the day was given to some cheesy chips I had for lunch!

Then the pipeband marched past us in the main arena. The noise of the bagpipes didn't bother her at all but then the drums came along!  They were very noisy and her neck grew longer

and longer

and longer!

A reassuring hand helped but she did back off a bit. There was a 4 month old Vizla sitting along from us and he too obviously thought they were a bit noisy as he ended up under a chair!

After a busy day it was time to relax and head for home!
