Busy times


At last our month off is coming to an end! and I can't wait to get back to some shows, hoping to have a final push before the end of the season. Maisy was quite naughty at training on Tuesday leaping off all her contacts, but at least it showed Sarah what she is like in competition! however her last run of the evening went really well and she felt on great form so fingers crossed I can keep this going for the KC festival and Dashing dogs. Summer has been putting weight on nicely in preparation for her Breed shows and hasn't really done much agility training as she's decided that she HATES horses and as there are 2 in the paddock next to the training field can sometimes be a bit too distracting. but she is only competeing on friday at the KC show so hopefully that will serve as a reminder to set her in good stead for DD. Little Rupert is a star as always, he now knows left and right without any arm signals and somehow manages to execute very tight wing wraps without demoloshing the wings, he is getting more like Smartie all the time and when he gets really excited becomes quite vocal, but whereas lots of dogs become vocal when we don't give clear signals he seems to become louder the more he understands just with the pure excitement of executing something he knows really well and just wants to let everyone know! so this will be something we work on over the winter with Jo.

Bill (the caravan) is going to be tested to the full over the next couple of weeks and Amy and I can't wait to test the new awning and TV.
