18th Birthday Celebrations

In mid August I celebrated my 18th Birthday and true to form I celebrated it at the British Flyball Championships. What could be better than 2 days camping with dogs, 2 days Flyball racing and 2 nights partying? The first party night had a neon theme where everyone glowed in the dark. The bar man recognised me as the girl from X Factor! Well not quite as I know Gin is talented but I have not taught her to sing yet! The Saturday night party theme was Posh Frocks and wellies so some great sights here! We did however have a slight mishap on the Saturday night when we lost my van keys and Gin was locked inside. We looked everywhere for them, but as it had gone dark and we were in a large field ,with only a couple of torches and a dark tent we had no luck in finding them. How were we going to rescue Gin? Eventually when our request over the tannoy for any budding car thieves to come forward failed-it was decided that the only way forward was to phone the RAC. They acted promptly and sent out a great man who very professionally broke in to my van and gallantly rescued Gin. He did say that his wife would not believe that he had been called out to rescue Gin – the dancing dog -so to prove it we sent him home with a signed copy of my book. We did eventually find the keys but couldn’t have left Gin locked in the van over night so we are very grateful to the RAC for all their help. I suppose though that I was lucky that the keys were lost at night when it was cool as had they been lost during a hot day it would have been a real emergency to get Gin out very quickly Remember dogs can die in hot cars!
