Dog club pub quiz

It was the dog club's pub quiz on Tuesday and so 18 dogs along with their owners congregated at the Cross House (a lovely country pub in Doynton) and spent a good part of the evening huddled under umbrellas whilst sat on damp wooden benches. Despite the need for more clement weather, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. A couple of the 'lower tog' type of dogs did appear somewhat put out by the drizzle, but the majority did not seem to notice the weather. The latter classification included Tangent who was rather thrilled by his outing. He is a very social dog which can get him in some trouble. For example Freddy, the merle collie, who took a rather amorous shine to Tangent. It was quite amusing seeing Tangent reversing under the bench when he saw Freddy approach!
The quiz itself was good fun. I was in the aptly named 'Underdogs' team who proudly came last (despite covertly cheating with someone's mobile!) The questions were of a canine nature and some were quite vague - i.e. how did the Romans use 'hair of the dog' as a hangover cure? Apparently they ate the singed hair. Nice.
The teams were not above dirty tactics, the most effective of which was bringing two 8 week old white German Shepherd puppies to use as a distraction... The quiz questions were soon forgotten while cooing over these gorgeous pups! unfortunately I did not think to bring my camera, hence the somewhat barren post.
