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

I watched it too, but fortunately neither of my cats noticed. 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.

I was watching a stock dog competition earlier today. Jake just left the
room in a huff. The program was focused on an Australian Cattle Dog. But
the part I loved was the Border Collies in the stands watching his routine,
just as intently as their handlers were.

Did you notice behind Ben Fogle's head was the Cats Protection stand?

What a great story! And you still did not explain why you were watching
a d*g show ;)
Best wishes,
