hickory takes top honors

In something of an upset, a Scottish deerhound named Hickory won top honors last night at the Westminster Dog Show, the first time the breed has won in the 135-year history of the show. I saw little of the competition this year but wondered when I did watch why, if there are deerhounds, wolfhounds, otterhounds, harriers, terriers, dachshunds, and other such breeds, there is not a squirrelhound. There must be some way to deal with the squirrels, whom I now see as an insolent, defiant creature. The new squirrel-proof bird feeder had better work.
