My money's on the Shiba Inu - Crufts 2008

In spite of all the hype and the scandal (has Crufts 2008 been rigged? Really?), my money's on the Shiba Inu to win Best in Show.

OK, I'll come clean; I am not sure this dog will win because there will be calls of "fix, fix, fix" but I have another reason to mention the Japanese dog.

My lovely, gorgeous friend, Lillie, sadly passed away last month. Lillie showed me what it was to be a really classy girl. A foxy lady in the true sense.

Those experts on the BBC reckon it will be third time lucky for the Giant Schnauzer; I don't know, maybe they know something I don't.

But in honour of my faithful friend and South East London family (because her owners really are my London family), it has to be the Shiba Inu to win...

Watch this space.
