Yup that's right...........Clarissa Dickson Wright thought he was lovely. She has a Lurcher too, was chatting to her at the Bath & West Show yesterday.

Had a lovely day up there this year, was a really good show, lots to see. Wolves were great, huge vulture too.

The kids had a fab time running about with the Beagles from the Ilminster Hunt - Smudge was longing to join in - bless!

But he had plenty of backsides to sniff up there aswell - never...

Well obviously the ability to jump for a working Lurcher is a must. So to start slowly.

My children were playing at the weekend, Smudge was joining in of course. They had one of those crawl through tubes out and Smudge cleared it easily.

Great, we thought, this will be easy. So we made a little jump in the garden, not too high. Oh the effort, he did manage twice but kept going round

But was great fun, tired him out anyway.

This time...
