My Super Day at Pup Aid 2013!!

Today I went to my favourite dog event of the year, Pup Aid 2013 in London's Primrose Hill!! Primrose Hill is my very own park (I come here every day!) and is without a doubt the most fashionable! I had been looking foward to this event for a long time. My entourage and I arrived to find my park filled with amazing shopping stalls, a show arena and lots of fun looking activities. Pup Aid is Europe's biggest anti-puppy farming event and it's wonderful to see so may doggie lovers coming together!  We headed straight to register for the Dog Show, this was my second Pup Aid since last year when I won "The Coolest Dog in London" !! I had a title to defend!
I loved the sound of all the categories- everything from "Golden Oldies" to "My Dogs Got Talent". My people signed me up and I was ready to go! 
 A nice man came up to me as I was walking along and said , " You were my favourite photo from the event last year! I recognised you straight away!" What a lovely comment ;) I walked towards the dog show ring and the show's wonderful organiser Marc the Vet came to greet me and said I was sure to win! Did I mention how I love showing? It's like modelling on the catwalk, and I just love having my photo taken- as you all know I'm such a poser ;)

Another reason I love shows is because this is how I learnt to make new friends and socialise! Read about it here: Pageant Queen! 
Before it was my turn in the ring, I sniffed around the activities like Have a go Agility which normally I love as I'm so athletic- ( hurdles, tunnels and more!), but I just had my hair done in the salon so I decided to give it a miss this time and do some shopping instead. If there was an award for "Best Shopper" my Mummy and I would both win I'm sure ;) So many of my friends were here, I spotted my friends from Sniffys who make delicious low cal treats. Very good as I've got to keep my model figure! Here I am modelling for them...

And then for my first wardrobe change to dress for my category, "Dog Most Like A Celeb". (Sooo me!) I am often mistaken for Chloe from "Beverley Hills Chihuahua". You know the heroine of the story with her beautiful diamond necklace? One lady asked me if she had seen me in "Legally Blonde", but ahem, excuse me Bruiser Woods is a boy :( Maybe one day I will star in my own Hollywoof film...
I entered the show arena with many other contestants, all very dapper and dressed up. We paraded around the ring proudly so everyone could see and the judges came to have a closer look and chat. I was judged by none other than Ms. Gail Porter. She interviewed us and had a good look at my ensemble. (which included a matching handbag and pearl belt- tres Beverley Hills) And then... My name was called out and I won an award!! Woop!
 Before my next show class I took a little break.
Here I am chilling in the Very Important Pooch area...

I bumped into Barry "The Dog Jogger", an amazing personal trainer for pooches and he introduced me to my new friend, Mr. David Gandy!
Two Supermodels in one photo! Look at our professional poses...

As I walked around I had my photo taken by so many people, I love making people smile :)
Next up, I entered the show ring for "My Dog's Got Talent". Mummy and I train every day, she says a well trained dog is a happy dog :) I love training as I love learning, and  TRAINING = TREATS!
I watched the other contestants who were all so well trained.
I walked into the centre of the ring and prepared for my performance...
I did my best tricks!
I DANCED!! *

And for my finale-
I JUMPED THROUGH A HOOP!! *


I did it!!!
I won an award and I felt like an ambassador for happy dogs :)
The winners had a special photo taken and we posed proudly with out beautiful rosettes!
Phew! I sat down after all the excitement but then a nice lady asked if she could take her photo with me, and suddenly I was surrounded by paparazzi!
Here I am in The Daily Mail!  Chanel Gets Papped!
Now it was time for my final category, "THE MOST STYLISH POOCH IN LONDON"
I had my fourth wardrobe change of the day and wore my favourite outfit! It's pink tweed, with a furry collar and even has my own name tag on it! I accessorised with my Chewnel handbag and a pearl necklace. The judges perfectly understood my passion for style! I held my best pose... and the judges plucked me from the ring- I was a WINNER!! What a triumph ❤❤❤

I had a fabulous time with wonderful people. OH, HAPPY DAY!
Thank you to everyone who made it so special...
