He's a 12 year old border collie - still fit enough to enjoy it when he's out, but his joints suffer afterwards. What breed is yours?

She's half spaniel. We got her from Battersea Dogs' Home when she was six weeks old. Mum was found, pregnant, tied up on a deserted gypsy site and taken to Battersea. Her three pups were born there - ours was the runt of the litter, the only girl and apparently the boss!
No idea what dad was, but she has collie instincts - loves to heard everyone! and goodness, does she like to run!

Still struggling with this crossword......
18A: Rob let show go on(4,2)

I think the answer is 'hold-up' = rob, but cannot explain 'let show go on'?

Sorry elle - I think it must be "hold up" too, but we will have to wait for someone else to explain.

Let show could be hold up.
I don't see the go on bit, so far.

This is a bit vague but...
To hold up could mean conduct or behave.
I think both of those words could mean "go on"?
Triple definition?

Could it be all definition?
Rob- hold up
Let - delay (as in without let or hindrance)
Show - as in hold up for inspection
Go on- as in I hope my old legs hold up?
