But they never really went to the moon...
And the photo in the last blog was obviously so shocking we must have made it up, some of you just don't believe it possible that this sort of thing is still really happening...
Couldn't let the following comment on the previous blog go unanswered...
"Just when was the picture in this taken? As I did not think the benches at Crufts this year were with Green Panels.................If it is who took it? If not why use it? "
So I emailed the person who took the pic just to double check that it was definitely taken this year. And why do you want to know their name precisely? Perhaps so they can be refused press accreditation next year? Here's the reply...
"I've only been once! And it was this year!!!!!!
I have plenty more pictures of panels if they don’t believe me! Plus a video!"
And here is another one of the pix - note the green dividers and the prize card and rosette which states Crufts 2010 and you can see DFS clearly on the hoarding to the left...
Conspiracy theorists please note, the Pekes on ice was sadly a real picture of something really depressing still happening this year at DFS Crufts.
Just spotted a comment from someone who couldn't see what was wrong with the Peke photo. You need to read this previous blog for the whole story.
If you look closely you'll see that the Peke is sitting on those ice packs you use to keep your pack lunch cool and has a fan trained on his or her cage.

I was at Crufts this year and can confirm that the bench sections were green. I can also confirm that even on a chilly weekend in March there were many overheating dogs there.
It is a very sad spectacle for the most part.

Wake up anonymous people. It has EVERYTHING to do with the way the dogs are bred. Try putting a tight peg on your nose, close your mouth and try and breathe. In fact, put on a thick winter coat whilst your at it.
So the need for extra cooling only concludes that these breeds CANNOT cool themselves down sufficiently in a NATURAL way.
Im confused by your last post to be honest. Of course its down to inbreeding and selective breeding. Selecting for flatter and flatter faces, to the point that these brachycephalic breeds struggle to cope in hot weather, hence the aircon on full blast, ice packs and fans.
My comment on 17th at 17.58 is directed at anonymous comment "get a life people"
you obviously have no idea about the problems of brachycephalic dogs;
