Re: [pyrnet] Handlers class

Yes we were very pleased Elaine and possibly that was the most "noise" we
made all day!!  It was fun watching all the Handlers out there but at the
end only one got it right!!  Claire had packed a little suit "just in case"
and then spent time with the dog she wanted for the class. A lovely Pyr from
South Australia. First prize was a stuffed wombat now known  as "Walter" . I
think he was taken to the Zoo in Melbourne by Claire and Martin to meet his
relations.  The pair of them also spent time feeding a tame possum outside
our Motel unit.  He ate a wide variety of foods!  They tried to entice him
in much to our horror.  In New Zealand Possums are considered a major pest
and are eradicated.  They damage native trees and carry tuberculosis!
