Harvest Home report as dictated by Doty (greyhound extraordanaire):
A happy tailwag to all good gentles. I had a marvelous time this year at Harvest
Home. The entire troop arrived Saturday morning and we proceeded to the Rapier
tournament and were able to watch the fighting. It looked like a lot of fun, with
people bobbing and weaving all over the place. The capes looked like fun things to
grab ahold of and then run. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to participate,
something about not being a fighting dog or some such nonsense. Rebecca and Mistress
Derbail then set up the coursing field, once the grass had dried off. They were quite
cruel to me and made me stay in the kennel while all the other dogs got to course.
Next time you see them please express my dismay with their opinion that I am too old
to course. I heard that the classes went very well and you should have seen the
wonderful masks people were wearing after the mask making class. Of course, I knew
who they were since they had not changed their scents, but I am sure many not so
talented with their noses were quite fooled by it all. Lunch smelled heavenly and
Tsunami and I teamed up with trying to distract Rebecca so that we could get a taste.
It almost worked. The afternoon proceeded nicely, and we all crashed and had a
wonderful nap. For court, we were put in the van with the A/C running while everyone
else headed inside. There was lots of laughter and clapping. However, I saw a CAT go
into court. Now, how was it possible that such a conniving, scheming creature as a
cat was allowed in court, where the regal, noble greyhounds were not allowed in. This
was an outrage. Obviously, this insult was noted, because we observed the cat being
escorted out to the field and pies thrown in his face. Justice was swift. We applaud
the gentles who saw fit to right the wrong. After that Rebecca and Mistress Derbail
joined the rest of the populace for a feast the likes of which can hardly be
described. We, however, were unable to join them. We had to make a hasty departure
after feast when Tsunami jumped out of the van window to come find Rebecca. We had a
wonderful time and hope to enjoy your company again in the future.
Tail wags and ear scritches to all, Doty
(as dictated to THL Rebecca with the Greyhound)
P.S (Rebecca here) For those not in the know, Baron Shoiel dressed up in a
Puss-in-boots outfit. No cats were harmed or in any way abused at the event.
If you want to hear the patter of little feet, I'll put shoes on my dogs
