The Dog Show - Dubai, 2010

The 22nd Dog Show - an annual event organized by Pedigree and K-9 friends took place yesterday. My husband, Aniket and I were there to get our quota - our year's stock of furry hugs and licks. Last year I volunteered for the event and ended up missing most of it, so this year I was the spectator. It was fantastic - dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds. My favourites were the huskies. I saw two husky pups - just two months old and they were adorable. I worry about them though - huskies are not hot weather dogs and it seems cruel to keep them as pets, here in Dubai.


And then there was this four month old Lab pup - all black, except for his one white eyebrow. He showered me with his wet kisses and bear hugs -

We met Rocky - a seven month old Lab, imported from Egypt since you do not get brown coloured labradors in this region. Rocky lay down on his back and enjoyed the massage Aniket gave him -

We had an ice cream break with two lovely retreivers next to us -cooling their heels before their turn to walk the ramp :)

There was also the tent specially for the Salukis - the oldest known breed of domesticated dogs. Their weight telling little of their strength, speed and endurance.

I got the chance to buy a lovely huge bone for my 5 year old lab - Rolf, whom I will meet when I go to Pune next month. We've also planned on adopting a kitten as soon as I'm back from my vacation. I hope we really do go ahead with it!
