After one of the coldest and most snowy winters for many years, we now seem to be experiencing unusually pleasant weather this spring. On one of these mild, sunny and dry days Spider provided me with an ideal photo-opportunity when he jumped up and sat in one of the patio chairs. Very handsome!!
A day or two later, we had to prepare to go to Crufts, as Lucy and Teasel had been asked to help Richard Curtis with one of his heelwork to music demo's, and Skiffle and I had been asked to demo the Puppy level of the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme. Sadly, as we were all a bit of a state, we needed a wash - not a problem for Lucy and me, but Skiffle and Teasel were less impressed...
Still, a great (but tiring) time was had by all. Richard won the UK Freestyle HTM competition, and got a deserved 2nd in the International final as well, and then Lucy helped him with the teaching demonstrations afterwards. Below Teasel and Lucy do one of their signature tricks of waving to each other.
