| My website |
 |
Just as a reminder this website belongs to me - Yardican Kween Bee - Annika to my friends. I was here first. I don't like to grumble but life changed dramatically with the arrival of Ditto - Jennyvic Ditto of Wildcard. Wildcard was going to be MY kennel name for MY puppies. Now Ditto has it tagged on to her. |
 |
|
Ditto is sweet; she is my best doggy pal and in some ways I do love her. But I love chews, playing football and golf more than I love her. She loves playing in ponds and streams and makes my blanket grubby. Still, she is company and is improving with age. |

I did seriously think DFS Crufts stood for Ditto for Sale and I had high hopes that someone would buy her and take her away. People kept asking but our owner refuses! Frankly I would have thought the money would be useful. That was mischief caused by Edward, the cat. DFS does not stand for Ditto for Sale. It is a posh make of sofas. So Edward made me feel a little foolish. Still - there we are. | |
| Rosettes |
|
What has been distressing is that all Ditto's rosettes are attached to the kitchen curtains at one end of our kitchen and mine are on a side window. I was very proud of everything I had won. My largest rosette to date has five rings and is huge. Actually my owner won that for taking photos of me but it looks like something a champion wins. |
|
|
Now the wretched Ditto's rosettes far outnumber mine - best puppy bitch, best bitch, best puppy in show and a horrid one that says Puppy Group 2.

Here is a photo of her rosettes on the kitchen curtain. And her photo is on the television. Edward sits on the window sill and taunts me as cats do.

| Ditto defeated |
| My owner, Viv, was national golf coach to England for 18 years and also national golf coach to Wales. She always tells her pupils that it isn't whether you win or lose, it's how much you crush the opposition by. She has a degree or two in psychology, which includes animal psychology and I have learnt some lessons. |
| Cambria Show Well, after Ditto had been praised at Crufts and the CWCA and everyone oohing and ahhing about her, she was best puppy bitch at the Cambria and I won Postgraduate, with wonderful Jeff Finney caddying for me (actually handling me but that is golfing speak). So Darling, Delightful, Delinquent, Delicious, Decorative Ditto and I were in the line up. And guess what. I got Reserve Best Bitch ahead of her. Ha, ha, ha blooming ha! I had used gamesmanship and told her another man from Russia was trying to buy her if she did well! So perhaps she tried to look horrid! |
| Home in Silence We travelled home in silence. Demure, Disappointed, Devastated, Dejected, Deflated, Depressed Ditto was quiet. In a miff and fed up. The worst thing was she lied to Edward and told him it was HER rosette for Reserve Best Bitch. But my owner pinned it on MY curtain just to prove a point. YIPPEE!! | |
Ditto Defeated!
