Gretel

Just watched an episode of the Swedish ‘Wallander’ series where the village idiot blows himself up along with a wire-haired dachshund called Gretel. Not fair – why did the dog have to get it?

Tina just sent us a photo of Jessie.

Windsor Dog Show

We went to the Windsor Dog Show yesterday and met up with Sue and Ian. Their Twix won her round and then came second overall! We also met Tina and Jenny who I spoke to, a few weeks back, about potential puppies later this year. We met Lily – a real sweetie. We spoke to a guy at a leather supplies stall, who gave us advice on getting a puppy collar and lead. When we said we were getting a wire-haired he pointed to the back of the tent where he had his 9 month minature. He said he was the best natured dog he’d ever had. Everyone says how lovely they are. I also fell for the Irish Wolf Hound big time.
