Woman unable to control them and said they were her son's dogs and they were "naughty dogs". Suki rather shaken but otherwise ok - although noticed a scratch in her ear later. Made good progress on sorting out drawers in utility room. Rang handbells in the evening with Tim who came over to the house. Scored a QP of Lightfoot 6 - which Tim called and which was his first Lightfoot 6 in hand. Then practised Carlisle group for the rest of the evening.
