MCOV XMAS PARTY PICS
XMAS 2011
The weather was perfect and the setting picturesque as we
all gathered at the Messmate Shelter around 11.30am to set about chatting and
relaxing while our companions re-acquainted themselves; some with a view to
settle old scores, others to flirt and romance, whilst the remainder were just
plain happy to be there. It wasn't long before the BBQ was fired up, drinks were
poured and the beautiful bush scents were enhanced by the aroma of appetizing
meals being prepared.
After a leisurely lunch it was 'Game On' as the fun
developed a competitive edge, laughter rang loud as awards for prestigious
titles such as Cutest Bum/ Best Slobberer /Waggliest Tail etc were highly sought
after and fiercely contested, all in a sense of merriment and good spirit. The
Master of Ceremonies was Paul, ably assisted for judging decisions by Natalie
McLennan and Gabrielle. The bags of doggie treats handed out were gratefully
appreciated and devoured by the recipients. Thanks so much to Natalie and her
brother Patrick who prepared these, as well as treat bags for the kids (and big
kids!).
It was wonderful to see all the Mastiffs from the little
puppies to the old timers having a ball in a casual environment, just being
themselves, happily socialising and reminding us all why we love them so much.
A pleasant stroll around the lake afterwards was an
enchanting way to round out a memorable day that passed all too quickly.
