The Skye Terrier Club Open Show

Av Jan-Erik Ek - 24 april 2010 16:48

Two years ago, I recieved an invitation from The Skye Terrier Club to judge at their open show in Gretna, just outside Glasgow, Scotland. To say I was thrilled would be an understatement and ever since that day I had been looking forward to go to Gretna and even more so after I found out the numberof entries, 53, which is a very good entry for Skye Terriers.


I packed and brought it all along in my car on Thursday the 15 April, I was going to work first and then drive to Gothenburg to stay with my sister and brother-in-law before I was going to catch the Ryanair plane to Glasgow the following day. When I got to my work I got an email from Karl-Åke telling me a vulcan on Iceland was upsetting the flight traffic. What?? Was this some kind of a delayed April fool's joke??


Hours went by and more and more information about the vulcan and its affect on how people could travelled were spread through TV. I just refused to take it in, thought it might soon 'cool off' so drove to Gothenburg to stay with my family anyway. Late in the evening Ryan air cancelled their flights. What a disappointment. I couldn't believe it then and can hardly believe it now that this has actually happened, that a stupid Vulcan on Iceland put a stop to a dream that was about to come true!

   On Tuesday 9th of this month I had to take my precious black Labrador dog Knockie (Thornbreaker's Postman's Knock), aged 13 1/2 years, to the vet to be put to sleep. This never gets any easier no matter how many times you've gone through it before...
