Dissertation gone!

Hello world!

I am aware that I have been terrible and haven't posted in absolutly ages. Excuses are coming;

So my dissertation really kicked off and my supervisor was superb at giving me back tons of really constructive feedback. So I have spent the time since my last post tweaking my 10,000 word project.

I am happy with it, but I really hated handing it in. My offer for the Veterinary Medicine course in conditional on a 2:1 and I have worked my arse off in this degree to ensure I get this. The handing in of the project was kind of like "Thats it. You can do know more to prove yourself anymore. Its all done and you won't have another chance to try and scrape some more marks." Bloody scary! I got a bit emotional and everything. Being a vet just means so so much to me.

So dissertation aside what else has happened. Well my beautiful boy won Best of Breed at his last dog show! I was so so happy. Although mum laughed quite a lot because I was so confused about what to do, where to stand etc. Its been 2 years since he won BoB!
Here is the champion :)


I have also spent a bit of time looking more closely into the UK gene pool. I knew it was bad, but the UK Kooikerhondje population is shocking! All the dogs create such a perfect circle, all because the only 3 breeders in the UK insist on breeding with eachover rather than bringing in the very VERY much needed new bloodlines from overseas. Its not like they don't know Kooikerhondje breeders in mainland Europe. I'll never understand it, and it made me very upset actually...

Although emotion like this is good because it will drive me to make a difference all the more. Bring it on dog world!
