Ex-Hurricane Bertha paid a visit today, whatever an ex-hurricane
is. She was seemingly as bad tempered as an ex-girlfriend. Although I think she
blew herself out and the day turned out to be just plain wet.
What she did do was scare off the majority of the folk who
were supposed to be at today’s dog show at Catton Hall. This hugely enhanced
our chances of winning or would have done had MD been on his game. He wasn’t. The
weather also hugely reduced the amount of people helping out, so I ended up mucking
in.
We did get one clear round but didn’t even get in the top
ten. Then we got a surprise rosette for a third place in a run that we got five
faults in and was probably his worst run of the day.
Today is also Doggo’s birthday. He’s 91 but he still did his
veterans run in the rain and went clear. He's still got the knack even in soggy
conditions. However he’ll probably now sleep for the rest of the day. Luckily
for him, with turnout low due to the weather, most of the competition was finished
by lunchtime, so he’s home in plenty of time to do just that.
