Whippets and a Yorkie-Poo (?)




More lunacy from the 2CV camp, this time a pic of "The Alamo", the name the organisers gave to the shack where we all had to book in and register. A marvellous bit of rustic carpentry, and as I said, resplendent with it's armed guard on the chair and even another cut-out one up on the roof. Good fun.
The camp was rich in new dog company. My pic shows 6 month old, very playful whippets Tommy and William seen here with Megan (left) and Haggis (right). I'm out of shot somewhere. It was probably a good thing that this camp was on-leads-at-all-time because these were very fast dogs, and I don't think I'd have been able to out-run them if I'd needed to.
Also on the case was a very soft looking felty, Yorkie in pastel shades which we had to ask about. Turns out he's called Oscar, and he's a Poodle x Yorkie, which had us all inventing those spoof joined up names like "Labdradoodle". The owner chose "Yorkie-Poo" - we couldn't really argue with that although the poor dog is probably scarred for life.
There were plenty of other dogs too, including a couple of other westies, a couple of independent (different families) but very similar looking sandy coloured border terriers, both resplendent in red and white spotted bandanas, there were labs, alsatians, poodles, JR's and many more. 2CV camps are definitely dog-friendly.
More soon
