March Freeze

25th March and it feels like -6 outside with the ground covered in snow! we have our fingers and paws firmly crossed that the ground clears before the weekend, however I doubt it will and i'm afraid the Bretford will probably have no choice.
We took Brucie and his little friend Islay to their first Dave Munnings course on Friday morning, it was seriously cold (well for me as a spectator) but they were both little stars, and so much fun to watch, they saw lots of new things and both Amy and Sally came away with lots of homework before the next on in a months time.  We spent the rest of the weekend at the training barn, Saturday was our club match, we had entered 3 dogs, Rupert, Summer and Ruby, Both Ruby and Summer did really well, with Ruby gaining a 2nd place in the steeplechase and Summer comming 4th in the agility.  Rupert although was brilliant in most ways was knocking more poles than normal, perhaps the lack of training over the past few weeks has made a difference but I have to admit to being REALLY dissapointed.  Sunday was the Barn show, again Summer and Ruby were really good, just having the odd pole here and there, and again Rupert knocked lots of poles!! but I had taken Maisy who was a star, I had forgotten just how mad she was, and at 9 years old I couldn't ask for more, god that dog can shift.
Lots of fitness training this week for Rupert, we then have a 3 hour session with Dave Munnings on Thursday and then we may or may not be heading for the Easter show.
