It's always handy to know about useful store cupboard items for the dogs, so I thought I'd share one of mine with you.  

Dettol Antiseptic Wash is just brilliant and even better it is inexpensive but I can tell you it is miraculous in its healing properties.  

I like the fact that it has a 'no-touch' application which is particularly useful for very tender wounds and for hairy dogs where bathing an affected area with a swab may prove more diffcult.  

I have used it to treat deep gashes; it cleans them effectively and also helps with quick healing; you can spray it straight into open wounds to clean them up and treat them repeatedly.

Windsor is one of my favourite dog shows with the venue at Home Park sitting beneath the gaze of Windsor Castle.

It is surely one of the finest places in the country to hold a show and with the Union Jack flying at full mast above the Castle one can only think the Queen was looking down on the proceedings at some point.  The weather was glorious, fine and sunny but with enough breeze not to be too overpowering for the dogs.

We picked up some fabulous awards in the breed classes and I finished the day with the proud job of handing Bannonbrig Al Fresco in the Group for Julie Carruthers who still isn't back to running form just yet. It was an absolute pleasure and we were all thrilled to see Basil make the shortlist of ten dogs  for the final four top honours in the Gundog Group being judged by Carole Coode  of the famous Warringah Labradors.

The journey home was not quite so enjoyable with major disruption due to the closure of the M40 so after a quick stop off to grab some pizza it was back to the snail trail of traffic and eventually home after 1am the next morning.  Good job we were in good spirit it's after such a super day out!
