This n That

We went up to Darlington today for a show. Micah and I left here at 4am, there by 7am, left by 11am.

Micah wasn't placed as well as he could have been. 4th. Better than a kick in the teeth. It was the judges' first time and I assumed she would prefer a different type than Micah as her own dogs do not look like Micah. I was right!

I have to give every judge a go and then they either go on the repeat list or not again list. (Unless, maybe, with a different dog)

Luna is 6 week gone and suddenly looks very pregnant.

I am off to bed and will read some more of the latest Potter book. I only read in bed at night so it is going to take a while to read this.

Minnette Walters new book is out this month. I am looking forward to that. Excellent writer. Crime writer but not like any I know of. More psychological exposes. Un-put-downable.

I'm sorry your show didn't finish as well as it could have. At least you expected it a bit.

I'm going to try out this Minette Walters. I've been needing a fresh author. I used to enjoy Dick Frances because of his horse/steeplechase background, but his tales began all to seem the same.

Thanks for the heads up on Minnette Walters. I found my library has it on CD so I can listen and knit!

We have done some dog shows with our first Boxer dog and quickly found that the places weren't given to the dogs, but to the breeders ! It depended if they were well known or not....
