Cas - Blue Peter

Cas and I were invited on Blue Peter following on from her Wag & Bone win. They were running a Pup Idol item.

There was a lady there with her dog who could skip, a gentleman with his dog that played football, Jo Ann with her staffie who was skateboarding and Tina with her collie doing some freestyle,. I was a little disappointed they only wanted Cas to play basketball as they had originally said they wanted her winning routine from the Wag & Bone Show. We took the dogs into the Blue Peter garden (looks a lot smaller than it does on TV!) and they had a short rehearsal. Cas did her basketball trick perfectly. We had some lunch and then another rehearsal followed. Again Cas did her trick perfectly and we were all told that we should do a few extra tricks and things a bit later.

In the live show Cas got the basketball stuck in her teeth and couldn't release it into the net - such a darn shame. A bit later everyone was asked to do their tricks, but you couldn't really see Cas very well as she was at the back. Needless to say she didn't get anywhere. But we did get a Blue Peter badge and it was great seeing the set and Blue Peter Garden! They actually had a short snippet of Ember finishing her agility round at Crufts on the Monday Show too.

Rum - Dogs Today

Rum attended a photo shoot for Dogs Today today. It was his first time out and about as he only just had his last vaccination so I had visions of him completely ignoring me and going off! But I shouldn’t have worried, he was golden. They used the same colour background as they did for Cas as it makes their eyes look lovely. He did some sits and some downs and thought the noises the photographer was making were great!! The photos look fab and they think possibly good enough for front cover!

UPDATE - Rum is front cover of Dogs Today - August edition:
