MONDAY THE 1ST OF DECEMBER
We are doing the first three days of the week journal on Wednesday afternoon. Monday I day tripped England for cereal. I had a nightmare of a journal home. I got sea sick on the ferry and thought i was going to die. I was pulled in by the customs in Dublin port and they kept me for three hours then I was coming home down the m7 and got pulled in by the police and they kept me an hour. Thankfully everything was good and I finally got home at 4am on Tuesday morning. At the kennels it was a wet day so we were restricted on what we could do.
TUESDAY THE 2ND OF DECEMBER
We had delivery’s of bag dog food from time and gain so that had to be packed away. Darren Ryan collected the hounds that are sold going to the UK from the yard which is a massive help plus i was at the vets and we did a swap around with hounds from runs to paddocks and from paddocks to kennels and Newcastle united should of won against spurs but we had to settle for a draw.
