"Hammy, my Vizsla is the grand daughter of an AKC working group champion."
AnthonyB:
Does that mean your aristocratic Vizsla actually used her paws and got them dirty doing manual working class things and such? I doubt any self-respecting aristocratic dog, particularly the great grand-bitch of a champion, would do such a thing, just as no self-respecting aristocrat would ever think of doing such a thing as getting their hands dirty or using them for manual labor of any sort, including cooking in a kitchen.
As Hamilton B. Hearst knows good and well most of our aristocratic grandmothers and those preceeding them even prided themselves in never even seeing the inside of a kitchen in their entire lives.
These types of people pay a price for this type of thing eventually though. My half brother's grandmother was one of those people. She prided herself in never having seen the inside of a kitchen, particularly her own. (she prided herself on that and also in throwing her half drunk martinis into the fire to see if they would explode
).
Only problem was, at about the age of 80 she came to see my half brother and to spent the night. Unfortunately, she made the mistake of coming alone and the next morning she got up and was really hungry with no one around to bring her the expected tray in bed of whatever she generally was used to. So with hunger pains pounding she ventured alone for the first time in her life into a kitchen, his kitcken.
Eventually he came back to find her in the kitchen with a piece of bread pressed up against the speaker on a portable radio as she twisted the radio's knobs to rock and roll music and static and long-haired music and static and such.
Apparently she thought this might be the way one toasted bread.
So don't hold anything Hamilton B. Hearst says against him. The guy just never got around in the real world that much, I guess, so one can hardly expect him to know better than the things he says on here.
