In the evening a special dog in costumes on the catwalk competition, Sally
wearing a Union Jack made out of blue fur, white boneshaped stripes and sparkling red hearts on her back with a big red heart
showing "Love you Forever" letters, on her front a blue heart with a Union Jack Beanie Bear. It was very difficult to design
something pretty for an Old English Sheepdog, fur on fur was the right way and showing her roots, the UK, into the hearts of the
spectators. All costumes were auctioned afterwards and the earned money went to the live saving dog team of the region Ammersee.
The highbidder of Sally's costume bought that outfit not for her dog, a small white scottie dog, but fell in love at first sight
with the "Love you forever" letters on the Union Jack; she bought the costume as a |
|
special anniversary
gift for her husband who is from the UK and an OES lover.....quite amazing, isn't it? |
