Wallingford

What a lovely spring weekend, Sun shone and we arrived looking forward to our pairs with the Mali's, Rupert and Zippy went first and Rupert was splendidly E'd LOL , Summer and Keisha got through to the 3rd round as amazingly did Ronny and Maisy who were the most fun out of all of them, they are so funny as soon as they get together they just go even madder than normal!
Rupert had a couple of good runs, he is really trying to keep those poles up, in his agility I got him E'd for not getting in place quick enough and he took 2 poles in his jumping, again down to me for over commanding him. Summer didn't get to run her courses as we had to get away early but she had a great time in the pairs event and ran really very well.
Sunday was an exhausting day, both Amy and I were really tired even before the day began, so a quick stop off at Maccy D's was needed. again we had the pairs, only today we were the only ones in the ring as it wasn't a knockout. Summer and Keisha set the pace with a lovely double clear, although did run an alternative route which made us laugh! Maisy and Ronny had another great time, Ronny took the first pole and Maisy had a pole and then we totally missed a jump LOL and it was Ruperts turn to go clear, with Zippy taking the wrong end of the tunnel, one day those two will get it together and will be amazing!! just not this weekend. Rupert also ran a brilliant agility just taking the last but one pole, still not quite quick enough, I've spent so much time working on his jumping I now need to re-visit those tight turns, we had just under a second to make up, and we had a clear in the jumping, albeit very messy, I nearly lost him 3 times in my state of panic! but a clear is a clear and I was over the moon with our consistancy.
Summer was again brilliant in the pairs, and had some really lovely moments in her other 2 classes but she still seems a bit off, not sure how to explain it but she just isn't her normal self, so she will do the shows she's booked and then take some time out, perhaps do a bit of obedience for the latter part of the season.
Amy took Maisy into the grade 3 jumping, all I can say is LOL!! for a 9 year old collie she was certainly running rings around the set course, very well done Amy for piloting her around, I can only describe it as a hurricane in a tin can.... if only she had managed a clear I'm sure she would be grade 4 now.
Brucie came for the ride and had a great time playing with his friend Rumble, he is back with Dave Munnings on Friday so hopefully he will see how well he is progressing.
We have a weekend off next weekend and then we are off to Shrewsbury for the show and then a few days holiday, I cannot wait.
