I would like to thank all the deerhound exhibitors at the Houndshow and apologise to those who have not had a critique. I left an afternoon to write my comment. I came home from a nice long lunch at the Greyhound pub to find that my friend’s dachshund and my greyhound had attacked my bin full of soft plastic wrappers for recycling. It was shredded all over the kitchen and under the Welsh dresser, under the table, in the sink and in my chair. Worse was to come. My judging notes had joined the rest. Absolutely shredded! The culprits were leaping about in the nest. I tried scooping it up from the floor only to find that they had left their calling card. I scooped up paper sodden with pee.
