Happy Birthday, Judith; I hope you are having a lovely day.
It sounds as if Maggie is doing really well with the ball for the pheasant recall, Karen. How funny to have so many in your paddock whilst they are shooting. I hope that your Mother feels better soon - tooth pain is horrid.
I hope that Andy gets back in time for Christmas, Jo.
It was today Ilka was going to the shoot, wasn't it, Sophie? How did she get on?
Elspeth, I think that my trainer (I've known him for years) doesn't let dogs do the Bronze before they are 12 months as he says it puts too much pressure on them. I assume that it is not the test that puts on the pressure, but the handlers, desperate to pass!!! Unfortunately, it has to be one rule for all or it would create too many problems, I guess........
Oh and Harvey is gorgeous, too. It was lovely to see the litter at 6 weeks old.
Think that's everything! Oh, it looks like you were having a good time, Sarah
