crufts – 4th and final day

I write tonight with sore feet, aching legs and a brain that’s turned to mush.

Sunday at crufts was even busier than saturday and the public were on a mission to spend money.  Barry and I spent many hours demonstrating the Dicky Bag to inquisitive visitors which resulted in numerous sales and some very silly comments.  It turns out that men seem  to think it’s ok to use bags of dog poo to keep their hands warm in the winter (call me traditional but i find gloves a far more affective and appealing solution).  I don’t know if they’ve all been reading the same joke book but 6 men gave me that excuse today.  Get a life fellas!

However the prize for “Best In Show ” comment has to go to the lady who proudly told us that she uses biodegradable pick up bags for her dog poo so that she can throw it into the bushes .  Yes she openly admitted that she did that!  One of my most hated sights is the copius bags of dog poo that are thrown into the hedgerows along the Cornish coast path and here i was confronted by a person who thought that because she used biodegradable bags she could just dump her rubbish anywhere she fancied and saw nothing wrong in it.  Needless to say we parted company with very different views on the subject

Well that’s all from crufts this year, didn’t get to see much of the dog show and in fact haven’t got a clue who won, i’m sure i’ll see it on the news, but one thing i do know is that a lot more people know about the Dicky Bag, at least 100 more people own a dicky bag and barry and i over the last 4 days have sold our socks off!
