Pets day

Saturday was pets day, and I jumped out of bed got changed got Jack’s brush went outside to Jack’s hut to wake him up and then I started to make him as white as I could.

Afterwards Rhys and Dad came outside and helped me put Jack on the back of the truck. And of we went.

I got to stand on the back of the truck with Jack and Strawberry. When we got there we got strawberry and Jack off the truck. We tied the pets up to a peg by all the other pets. I went around looking at other pets. Then the judge called to start the leading. Shane was up first then Kelly then me, Jack hadn’t been doing well at leading at home but he did all right on pets day. Once the lambs were finished leading it was time for calling, but Jack didn’t go very well at that, he seemed to be more interested in a peace of grass.

Then it was the calves turn for leading. Rhys led Strawberry around the square, he did well. Then it was time for the rearing contest and Rhys won that. Straight away the goats were going around the ring. Koren with Milkyway and Kristal with Billy. After the events were finished and we had lunch and competed for prizes in the gala games. I won the basketball shot and gumboot throw. Then we went over to the hall for the Pavlova competition. All the kids were there examining the pavs, then the voting started. Most of the adults liked my Dads pav.
The votes won my dad the Plonket Shield which a toilet seat! Then we packed up and went home.
