Rupert the Star (no really he was a Star)


So Last night was the Chipping Norton DTC Christmas party, I had decided to take Rupert along instead of Maisy to see how he managed concentrating with the distractions of other dogs and people. He went dressed as a Star! and a very handsome star he made. The club had set out two courses, a scurry which was 6 jumps and a tunnel and a twisty jumping course. We waited till the jumps were on Medium and had a go at the Scurry, He had a nice wait but on his first attempt I sent him into the far side of the tunnel clocking up the seconds so on the 2nd attempt I opted to run on the outside of the jumps and he took the better entrance and flew down to the finish without hesitation. Next we did the jumping, again just jumps and a tunnel, there were 2 cross behinds and a pull in - Rupert ran it brilliantly just taking a pole right at the end when I panicked a bit but apart from that I was so chuffed with him, and it was really lovely to hear some nice comments from the other members. It was a brilliant evening all round.
