Spent most of the weekend watching Crufts. There was very little else I felt like doing. No, really.
I like Crufts. Everybody who enters is a little bit insane, and not really used to being in the company of other humans. Hence they tend to talk through their dogs whenever communication becomes necessary eg.
'Dialynne Maximus, tell the nice man what you won today'
*adopts doggy voice* 'I came third in the worst breath category. Mummy is very, very proud'.
And I love the ridiculous names the mutts go by - best puppy was won by TARRAMIST ADONIS DREAM, a daschund. JAGSSTAFF THE ADVOCATE, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, came fourth, and promptly advocated the use of violence by attacking the judge.
Plus, I'm a sucker for anything with a shiny nose, and that includes Ben Fogle.
