Well it all starts tomorrow!
Bark In The Park an exciting competition where your pet could win prizes.
It's a pet portrait competition and all you need to do is bring along your dog to have their photograph taken at one of our free sessions! It's that simple.
There's over £400 of prizes and all entrants will appear in a special edition of the East Kent Gazette in a few weeks time... the competition will be judged by the readers and you will be able to vote by text or form from the newspaper.
The event's sponsors “Borden Lane Veterinary Surgery" will be hosting the first shooting session in their car park between 12 and 2 on Friday. It looks like the weather is going to be great tomorrow so if you're around why not pop along.
We also have two other shooting days taking place at the playing field at Borden Grammar School; you know, the place opposite the entrance to Sainsburys in the Avenue Of Remembrance, Sittingbourne.
We'll be there on;
Saturday and Sunday between 10 & 2
So come along and join the fun. It's a great open space and a really “dog friendly” area.
The competition has already been successfully run in Dover, Folkestone, Hythe and Romney.
PS If you would like to buy your dogs photograph we have a very special super saver offer!
PPS Entry to the competition is not dependant on purchase.

Wikipedia describes Flyball as follows
Flyball is a dog sport in which teams of dogs race against each other from a start/finish line, over a line of hurdles, to a box that releases a tennis ball to be caught when the dog presses the spring loaded pad, then back to their handlers while carrying the ball.
Flyball is run in teams of four dogs, as a relay. The course consists of four hurdles placed 10 feet (3 m) apart from each other, with the starting line six feet (1.8 m) from the first hurdle, and the flyball box 15 feet (4.5 m) after the last one, making for a 51-foot (15.5 m) length. The hurdle height is determined by the shoulder height of the smallest dog in the team.
Under current North American Flyball Association (NAFA) rules this should be 5 inches (12.7 cm) below the withers height of the smallest dog, to a height of no less than 7 inches (20.3 cm) and no greater than 14 inches (40.6 cm). Each dog must return its ball all the way across the start line before the next dog crosses. Ideal running is nose-to-nose at the start line. The first team to have all four dogs cross the finish line error free wins the heat. Penalties are applied to teams if the ball is dropped or if the next relay dog is released early.

I spent a few hours visiting Dover on Saturday having a look at the “animal mania” event in the gardens just behind the bus station. It was exciting and a very buzzy event. It's the first time I visited although I understand that has been taking place for a few years now. I was really impressed by the diversity of animal and children's activities.
The photography business has been so busy in the past few months that I've not had much chance to get out and have a look at other events taking place. I wasn't working, but couldn't resist taking some photographs along the way.
Here is a selection of some of the dogs that I met along the way.
