The following day was one to relax and reflect on the past 2 weeks. The general concensus was that it had been one of the best vacations held at Top Barn and no one wanted it to end.
see you next year....
Monday was packing up time and it was sad to see everyone go their various ways. But they will all return next year as this is so popular and the dogs love their "holidays". This year Gordon took a couple of oldies, 'Lily' and 'Beryl' for the majority of the time and I took the two youngsters 'Sally' and 'Crystal' for the show weekend. They had a ball. The oldies were just happy to potter about.....sleep on the bed, get lots of attention, look out the motorhome windows and watch the general buzz of the campsite with the campers doing what they doand there were some sights to be seen! A new addition this year was an vast circular play and excercise pen. The kids and puppies enjoyed this enormously. The weather was glorious. Some were there for 2 weeks, some 1 week and some came for the show weekend. The kids, about 15 of them, had lots to amuse them and their screams of delight endorsed that they think Top Barn is "cool"!
