Happy Mothers’ Day, Mum!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish my Mum and Happy Mothers’ Day.
Mum has worked so hard all these years to help me in the world of dog showing/training/judging. Firstly from convincing my Dad that I NEEDED a dog of my own and everything since then.
She is the one who does everything behind the scenes of a show, the entries, the paperwork, keeping us organised, getting us ready, making sure we have everything we need.
When I was a Junior Handler, she would be buying me suits, show leads, taking me up and down the country for training and competitions.
Of course, there was also the huge things like keeping Giles from our previous litter while I finished Uni, training him for me and now I’ve come back from Uni, have a full time job and my own home, she looks after him every day so he isn’t left alone for long hours.
So thank you Mum for everything you have done. I hope you enjoy Mothers’ day, getting to spend it with me at my first Irish Setter judging appointment!
Also a Happy Mothers’ Day to all the other mum’s out there who do the same thing. I’m sure your children all appreciate it too!
