OMG you have no idea how nervous I was before it started... I'm sooooo not good with strangers, and there were what... 100 of you all standing there looking at me like I was supposed to know what was going on?!?
LMAO!!! But I soon lost the nerves and I gotta tell you, I had a BLAST doing it, I really enjoyed it. It looked like you were all having fun?
Winners:
(gosh I hope I have got these all right!!! Please correct me if I've mucked this up...)
Musical Sits: Sheerah with Paddy
Sausage and Spoon Round 1: Monya's son with Mylo
Sausage and Spoon Round 2: Sonja (Genic) [or was it your OH? I can't remember the human!! LOL] with Henry
Three-Legged Race: Becs and Crissi with Luna
Let Sleeping Dogs Lie: M with Bailey
Apple Bobbing: Every dog got as many carrots and apples as they wanted, and 18 people won prizes, sorry I can't remember who won what, but I hope you all enjoyed your prizes!
My darling hubby Charlie entered with Ozzie in Musical Sits and Apple Bobbing... Oz ate his fill of Carrots while standing in the middle of the pool getting in everyone else's way, and wouldn't pick up a ball no matter what Charlie tried!! LOL
Thank you so much to Natalie for the portable stereo for Musical Sits, and to Fay for the paddling pool for Apple Bobbing, much appreciated!!!
With the first game, Musical Sits, I was so disappointed that the participants apparently couldn't hear the music... I had a bunch of tracks loaded onto my iPod especially for Musical Sits and I guarantee you would have all laughed your heads off and bopped along to the tunes with a bit of dancing... but with the wind & rain on the day I guess you couldn't hear, so sorry about that but at least I didn't have to resort to singing for you, thank goodness the gramaphone thingy had a "music" button Oh well, I'll keep the songs a secret for next year and try again then
I had so much fun running it, and if most of you enjoyed it then I'd be happy to volunteer to do it again next year - feedback welcome!!
What games would you have had more of, what took too long, what was boring, what was the most fun to watch, were the prices right, did you enjoy the lucky dip prizes, what was your fave part, etc etc etc What would I do differently??
If I could do anything differently, I'd take photos, loads of them.... I didn't get a single photo of the Labralympics, and there were so many funny moments, it would have been great to capture them. Next year!!! I'll bring the underwater housing for the DSLR next year just to be on the safe side... too chicken to get it out in the rain
Ness.... it was absolutely fabulous - you did a great job, and I for one really enjoyed myself taking part...(even though I didn't win anything ), Congrats to all those that did - they were very well deserved.
Ness, you were so confident, anyone would think you did that kind of thing for a living and you were sooooo organised!!!!!! You are a star
And I would support you organising this event at all future GTs!!!!!!
It was all fab Ness and I second the vote that you can be in charge next year! You did a brill job of keeping us all in order and what a laugh it was! I think next year it should be more of the same...much more!!!!
we had a cool time! and the games were fab!!!
Coal managed to first out in the musical sits but thats coz i wasn't cheating and using treats!
and was much like ozzie in the paddling pool... picked out loads of apples looking all happy with himself but wouldn't so much as touch the tennis balls!
you did a fab job!
____________ Sam, Coal & Finn
It�s never too late to be what you might have been

You did a fab job!! I thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a few of the games and watching the other ones!!!
The only thing i would change for next yr, is plz leave the squeaky out of distracting the dogs for 'let sleeping dogs lie', Alfie will ignore anything but squeaky toys soon as you took the squeaky toy out, i knew we'd lost
Seriously though, i think all the games were great!!!! Look forward to you organising next years
You looked like you did a fab job Ness! There were lots and lots of peeps gathered by you!
I'm really disappointed i didn't get to take part in any of it! I was behind with the agility, so the first practice run didn't go according to plan!
Please do it again next year so Me and Lucy can take part!!
You did an amazing job organising all the games, Bailey really enjoyed the apple bobbing he must have eaten about 5 carrots + 1 apple and even managed to get a tennis ball! We are both really looking forward to next year.
