I hope you are all recovering from Crufts. The Corona virus situation is fast moving and advice is changing all the time, and I suspect that over the coming weeks I will be posting very short notes (if at all) as there will be very few show results. I also suspect that, whilst mass gatherings…
Well, that’s Crufts over for another year! The Coronavirus did not seem to have too much of an impact on the breeds, with absentees seeming to be pretty much in line with what you’d normally expect. It did seem to be lighter on the ground with regard to members of the public though. I can…
It’s another stormy old day in Chihuahua Town and Crufts is fast approaching. I’m sure preparations are afoot in your homes; grooming, outfits, planning, the list is endless. I know many have concerns about the coronavirus and I have seen numerous posts online about it, but the Kennel Club are closely following advice from the…
Well, it’s been another windy old week in Chihuahua Town, and Storm Dennis kept many of us at home last weekend. I had a busy weekend with two shows, both of them less than an hour from home which meant I was able to brave the weather and attend both, but I certainly don’t blame…
Happy Pawlentines Day to you all in Chihuahua Town! I hope your little Mexicans are spoiling you today! I made the liver cake I talked about last week – a nice easy recipe to follow, but it went down so well with my gang that one of my unappreciative little monkeys nearly took off one…
Are we all battening down the hatches in Chihuahua Town as we prepare for Storm Ciara this weekend? I came across the following joke which I found rather amusing and might make you smile: Chihuahuas have 18 muscles in each ear…….. to help them ignore you. Crufts entries have been published; Longs 216 dogs making…
We’re now on the countdown to Crufts in Chihuahua Town. For the past couple of years I’ve talked about wearing flight socks to save the ankle and calf pain that the reinforced concrete floor at the NEC can inflict. I’ve recently discovered Fit Flop shoes so that’s possibly something that might help as well. I…
Well, the last opportunity to qualify for Crufts passed last weekend at Manchester Champ show and Crufts entries have now closed. We await the entry numbers with bated breath! Talking about Crufts, I’m sure many of you are busy planning your outfit. My Kennel Gazette arrived this week and there was a very interesting article…
Well, it’s been a stormy old week in Chihuahua Town with Storm Brendan. In schools, we are well aware that wind sends the kids hyper, and I’ve found it often does the same to my own dogs. I’m well known for predicting the general behaviour in my school based on the behaviour of my dogs…
I hope you are all well in Chihuahua Town, and looking forward to the weekend. If you’re off to Boston this weekend, the committee are having a collection you can donate to in support of those affected by the Australian Bush Fires. They have announced today that they will match the donations made by exhibitors.…
