What are they. Is it something about over eating (w00t)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

Cheeky!

You can now upload up to 100 photos in one go just by selecting the folder they are in :thumbsup: makes it easy on the best of us, let alone the old and infirm (w00t) 8) :*

Come on, get some more up, the suspense is killing me! It's a good job I'm redundant now or I wouldn't be getting a shred of work done with all this checking back to see if there are more gross pictures of my portly frame on here yet :teehee:

The main event is the ' The main Final' winner overall, someone else could probably explain it better

​

The main event in this context is in fact the only event. Just a different way of describing it. If I were to say for example.... it gives me great pleasure to announce it would be like saying.... now listen up you lot. Simple :teehee:

The Mitchells do have email etc although I do not know the address. If you were to pm to me your email address I will pass it to them next time I see them.

They did learn on Saurday for the first time that you were in the UK in some recent times. They were disappointed in not having had the opportunity to meet with you. :thumbsup:

So, what we'd say in this country would be Best of Breed at a specialty field trial (most of our lure trials are multi-breed with many breeds of sighthounds participating, but we have specialty Whippets-only trials as well).

I am VERY proud she is doing well in your lure coursing system and that the Mitchells are having a great time with her. They did say that when they went back home to the UK that they MIGHT try coursing with her if she stayed small enough, and I hoped they would, but of course, one never knows if a dog bought primarily for a pet will get the chance or not. They were super-nice people!

She has good dual show/coursing lines on her father's side and her mother is of course my Bluestreak import who was a phenomenal courser, but very VERY hard to catch after the course in a timely fashion, which is why I did not pursue an national ranking with her over here. Her form while the lure was running was outstanding. :thumbsup: After the lure stopped running, though, I wanted to strangle her. :rant:

I am loving the photos here and think your system sounds much more interesting than ours and the whole thing seems to have a lot more tone and style to it. I love having the same chap slip all the entrants. I'm sure the runs look the same and what is considered a good, high-scoring course is the same, but the rest of it seems very different. It is good that the dogs eliminated earlier from winning the whole thing still have something to compete for. That makes for more happy competitors, I think.

I can't find a photo that I am sure is Witching Hour in those sets, but if anyone ever gets a good one of her, I'd love to put it on my webpage and brag a little about her coursing exploits in England.

What's with the tractor or large piece of farm equipment? Is that a visual screen so the judges can't see whose dogs are being handed to the slipper?

I'm sorry for so many questions, but I would love to learn everything about your system for lure coursing. I've been to a race meet in the UK but not lure coursing. Hopefully, someday I can remedy that. If the upper limit is 21", I would say I have a lot of dogs who I could course there. I even (believe it or not) have a male who is a good courser who fits under the 21" wicket! I wish my husband could get a good job over there...we'd be on the next big boat.

I will pm my email so you can give it to the Mitchells. Maybe they have a photo to put up on my website.

awwwwwwwwwwwww... how cute!

 

[CHRIS DOYLE]

That TC has been pestering me all day to put some pictures of HER on. Anyway, i've got a few but before I show them I think we should mention the jeans. Now on Saturday I did offer to buy her a new pair but she told me that the ones she had on were only fifteen years old :b and therefore still had some wear left in them :blink: Now what doyou think? (w00t)

 

[Trish]

she did complain she had a cold knee...........but thats fashion lampy :- "

[SIZE=30pt]OMG [/SIZE] You certainly have captured the true TC there Lampy (w00t)

Well Done! I think I'll be bringing my camera to the next one :- "

I have to say, they are fab pictures, but I think my favourite has to be the 'hands on hips' shot. Reminds me so much of my mother in her bossy mode (w00t) :b :wacko:

Thanks so much :huggles:

Missed this lol! Those jeans are fab, but I must have not heard you saying that you would buy me a new pair. How could I refuse such an offer :- "

You can get them for me, ready for January. I'm sure that should give you enough time to source a pair large enough (w00t) 8) :- "
