As every year since we got here, I took Aipa this morning to the annual Cayman Islands dog show. About 150-200 dogs (and their owners of course) showed up for this event which is to raise funds for the local humane society (an equivalent to the SPCA). Dogs from all walks of life and all kinds were there. Some arrive in more style than others though … I saw one dog riding shotgun in his owners Porsche 911 ; riding in style 🙂
Here I am with Aipa in the ring getting judged for one of the contests. No prizes today. There is some heavy favoritism for dog with 3-legs & other ailments. That’s OK .. they probably deserve it!
These guys were quite popular with the kids (everyone actually) So cute!!!
This gives a good idea of the setup (and my friend Sau’s backside …) and the people that showed up with their pooches on a Saturday AM. Here her dog is being “evaluated” by the judges. Its mostly petting the dogs, hearing about their story (many of the dogs there are rescued dogs) and chatting a bit with the owners. Its all in good fun.
Not much else new here in Cayman. Its election time here ; I am curious to see if elections here are like in Canada. We cant vote though as expats.
Summer is definately getting close though ; we have been turning on the A/C earlier in the day and its been much hotter in the last week or so.
Hi Micho. My girlfriend and I saw ya at the dog show, Aipa was looking good! I had mentioned to her several times about this blog I had been following by a Canadian expat and she thought it was pretty funny that I actually recognized your dog before you. I noticed Aipa and said that’s the only husky I’ve ever seen in Cayman it looks like Micho’s dog! Anyhow, keep up the good work with the blog and tell Aipa hello for me. -Bill
Hi Bill,
Too funny 🙂 Next time, make sure you introduce yourself. haha
Hope you had a good time at the show.
Cheers
Micho
I think I saw your friend Sau and dog on 7 Mile Beach a couple of weeks ago. We walked from 7 Mile Beach Resort to the public beach and back every morning and as a dog lover I check out every dog we pass. Of course I can’t see all of the dog in this picture or your friend’s front side it sure looks somewhat like I remember. I sure miss those morning beach walks. We are just praying for warmer weather that sticks around here in Michigan. It is supposed to snow yet again tomorrow.
You are welcome to check out my facebook page. I have posted many Cayman underwater snorkeling photos adding more all the time.
