The Final Day - It will be a long one


Yesterday was the most crowded day yet at Crufts. While sitting at our allotted bench space taking a rest some careless clumsy footed on-lookers managed to step on poor Duffy's tail, three times in fact, luckily he's a resilient little character and didn't let it bother him two much, but I had to struggle to keep my "Oh its OK" face on.

The Bronze teams display were once again excellent, well done to the whole team and a special thanks to Joy and Sue of the K9 Academy for working so hard to get their club recognised and invited to Crufts.

Once again our own special dogs were pointed at and discussed by may a passer by. With the increased crowd sizes, we discover the new methods people would employ to attract out attention to ask about Loki and Duffy. For the most part those techniques involved physical grabs or my own personal favourite the poke in the ribs, which I can promise may cost someone a finger today if its repeated. One lady with a her Hungarian Vizsla (who did not poke me in the ribs) asked what our dogs were as she was very impressed with their looks and could not work out what breed they were, jokingly put her nose in the air and addressed her dog saying "Come this way, we are not supposed to associate with their sort" on finding out the boys were 100% Pedigree Cross Breed.

Today is the last day, and its going to be a long one. The dogs already fed and walked, and we need to be at the NEC by 9:30am. We'll be there until around 5:30pm and then have at least a 4 hour drive back home straight after. Good Luck to the Silver Team displaying today and better luck to any individual who takes a chance on touching my ribs!
