Mom, WHY are yoo watching a D*G SHOW????
I was watching Crufts this evening on BBC. It is quite possibly the
biggest dog show in the world. I watch it every year. Most of the time, the cats completely ignore me when I am watching TV - sure, one of them may get on my lap, but that's about it, and HRFL tiger never pays attention to the TV. But this evening I couldn't stop laughing. HRFL Tiger and Miss Lily Whiskers were doing *EVERYTHING* to get my attention so I couldn't watch the dog show, from upside-downy-head, to HRFL threatening to spray my books, to Miss Lily Whiskers sticking her paws in my tea, and so on. The funniest was when Lily sat on the back of the sofa and started smacking my head with her paw to get attention. When Mary Rae, one of the UK's top dog trainers did her obedience to music routine with her two collies, well I thought that HRFL was going to have a coniption fit. He was trying to find them behind the back of the TV! Needless to say, I saw very little of Crufts. My cats saw to that. A Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

They were both slumbering in front of the kitchen fire ;-) I really miss having dogs and showing them. I know Zena Thorn-Andrews who judged best in show. I predicted that the Tibetan terrier would get the top spot but I thought she would go for the bloodhound as reserve since she is a hound breeder herself. That's not suggesting she is prejudiced towards hounds, but when we keep hounds we tend to know more about them and recognise a good one when we see it. She went for the Wire haired Fox Terrier as reserve. Nice dog, but I think the bloodhound was robbed! I used to do a bit of judging myself. Once upon a time; not at Crufts standard, though. To be asked to judge at Crufts is like a lifetime achievement award. Tweed |

But the part I loved was the Border Collies in the stands watching his routine, just as intently as their handlers were. Jo |
