Today was the Muswell Hill Festival, but Haringey Council banned the Donkey Derby, so it was moved to East Finchley. There was a dog agility competition and a small dog show. I went round the agility course once but I keep telling them it is not my thing. Loads of nice dogs to meet, and I raided a picnic but Mum did not tell me off – you cannot leave food on the ground when there are dogs about! Then a new experience for all of us – a young Labradoodle .. called Boujey. He was big, and they expect him to grow to about twice my size. Dad says he prefers a dog my size, but when we learnt that Australian Labradoodles are allergy friendly dogs that do not shed fur (unlike me), we could see why people want them as pets. We have met asthma sufferers who would love to have a dog but thought they could never have a canine pet. A Labradoodle could be the answer.
