So Billie and I get invited to enjoy a sunny afternoon at the Gazebo Wine Garden “Lizzy Bay Dog Show” recently. There were three different categories to enter; Best Dressed; Best trick and Best look-a-like”. Billie and I discussed it and felt we might have a soft chance at BEST DRESSED. So hot tub, hair dryers and best birthday outfit on (Billie not me) we stepped out with an air of anticipation.

And what a funny afternoon…
Cleverest trick: A Black Staffie with a dog treat rested on the tip of his nose and doing absolutely nothing about it.
Best look alike: A West Highland Terrier with her owner both channelling Cameron Diaz and the hair-lift from ‘Something abot Mary” and

Best Dressed: Well after seeing the Chihuahua dressed in top to toe Carmen Miranda I thought we were done and dusted till the winner was announced…MY BILLIE!!! She was wearing a Surf Rescue outfit she got for her first birthday last year, complete with red and yellow cap. Don’t know if she could save many lives but she saved mine :)
