Poor Cricket - he was a dog not a horse



Poor Cricket - Nicky Watson's dog has been found dead, being washed up on a beach. Prior to this the 'News" that Nicky had lost her chihuahua. was argueably the most important event that happened in New Zealand in the previous 48 hours.

So on TV Ones's Closeup program they went for it. Unfortunately being more of a John Campbell TV3 person I missed the interview with Nicky on TV One which it seems went something like this -

After numerous clips of Nicky nearly falling out of various dresses followed by clips of Nicky wandering around day and night with torch in hand calling out for her little lost pet, the interviewer finally sat down for a little heart-to-heart with Ms Watson. Recounting her tale of woe Nicky, voice strained with overuse and emotion, says, 'I must have called his name a million times', to which the interviewer kindly responds, trying to empathise: 'You're hoarse.' 'No', replies Nicky sadly, 'my dog'.

In amongst the Electoral Reform Act, murders etc this was pure drama!!
