Bravest Pet in Sussex Awards
Some of you may know that I reached the final of the Bravest Pet in Sussex Award along with 9 other cats and dogs. The Award presentation took place on Sunday and the winner was a very deserving dog called Sapphie. She had been badly injured in a road accident but is back on her paws again now. I was honoured to be one of the 10 finalists and would like to thank everydog that voted for me. Thanks pals!
All the finalists got loads of lovely loot, including biscuits, treats, a stripey collar and lead, portable water bottle and a cat toy which I instantly destroyed (don't tell Miss Peach!). J1 & J2 got a bottle of champagne!
You can read more about Sapphie and the Award here.
The ceremony took place at a posh country club and there was a display of lots of exotic animals including Solomon the Giant Tortoise:
A lovely skunk that had been de-smelled (ignore the lady in the background, I don't know why she was mugging in MY photos!)
Look at his huge claws!
There was also a ginormous snake that slithered over lots of children, but it didn't eat any of them, mores the pity!
And a giant toad!
It was a lovely day out, and I think that on the day the best dog won. Congratulations Sapphie, I hope you continue on your road to recovery.

Hey Jackson:
Sorry you didn't win but being close is just as good! To bad there weren't any cats? My mommy thought a skunk was a cat once so I guess thats close enough! I just hate snakes! You did ok...for a dog that is...congrats again!

Hey Jackson! It sounds like you got to see some interesting creatures, and a few really brave doggys too. You are very brave to be in the top 10.
Woofers!
Jackson, all ten of your stories are just pawsome!! Your are all very special dogs. Just to be at the ceremony forced you to be brave...snakes...skunks...and that GIANT TOAD. We're a little toad sensitive in this house. Congratulations on your spot in the finals!!!

HEH I found a birdie in my birdbath and he told some lame story about you destroying a cat toy??!?!? WAZZUP with that? Guess its OK, I don't ever play with toys anywayz...I am just a boring old daft kitty.
Man those critters are sure different!
You are lokking especially handsome in your photo...very content and totally in control where you belong:)
Love Miss Peach
what an honour to be a finalist at the bravest pet competition! i'm so proud of you!!!
and i'm finally looking at the pix of a skunk for the first time! they're quite cute, aren't they? can they really be de-smelled? our pal, ozzy, got sprayed by one once, and i think he had like six baths including one in tomato juice to get rid of the smell.
I tried to write this last night but I don't think it worked.
Sorry you didn't win (we did vote) but you did so well getting into the finals.
I have a silly name because mistress named me after a baby polar bear, called Pippaluk. So I get Pippa for short. Anyway, I'm cross with mistress at the moment so I don't feel like writing any more about her.
Hope you are keeping well.
Pippa
Sorry you didn't win but being a finalist is pretty darn impressive in it's own right. And Sapphie looks to be a deserving winner.
Oh, that toad is creepin' us out!
