May Cup Show Pet Report Judge: Kayleigh Hartley Thank you for giving me the opportunity to judge the pet class for the first time. A huge thank you to Kate Rattray for guiding me throughout the whole process and for being my steward and scribe. It’s been such a fun day; I really enjoyed myself and learnt some new things. Every single rat was special in his or her own sweet way. It certainly wasn’t easy deciding on places, especially in the Adult Owned Pet Buck. But I feel Worm certainly deserved the top spot! I definitely recommend other members out there to give it a go. I would be more then happy to judge again.
