Wallingford Weekend

Good show this weekend only made better by the glorious weather, although we did have a hard frost on Friday night so decided that Rupert had better sleep in the caravan on Saturday! Maisy was running really nicely on Saturday anly getting 5 faults in each of her classes, a pole in one and just marginly missing the see saw contact in the agility, she and Ronny had a cracking pairs round taking 3 poles between them and Summer was really happy and motivated so everyone was happy. We started Sunday with the Team Dash which we had to go NFC as we only had 3 team members, again it wasn't the easiest course and all 3 dogs ran it nicely Summer even went clear. Maisy had a bit of a wait then for her agility round which didn't really go to plan! she was a bit hyped and didn't manage the dog walk contact and even took 3 attempts at the weaves!! so I was a bit dissapointed as I thought we were past all that! still she redeemed herself in the jumping only getting 5 faults for my silly handling. Summer was a little star and went clear in Agility leaving her in the placings right up until the last minute! but she came away with a lovely big clear round rosette for her hard work and only just popped out of her last weave in the jumping so a little bit of training this week and I'm sure she will be in contention.
Rupert has had a great weekend (again) I have started taking him to the ring when I walk the course and just tie him to the ring post, he waits very patiently for me even though he does keep getting interupted by another one of his fans coming to speak to him, I have to keep a close eye on him in case he is pupknapped! he also spent a lot of time playing with all the Mali's and now has another new best friend "Zippy" He was soooooo pleased last night when he saw Claire and jumped all over her squeaking with delight to which she was moaning to him to get off her laptop as she was trying to finish so Uni work, but the next time I looked he was upside down fast asleep on her lap and she had a big smile on her face, I can't wait to see what he says when Steve gets back from Belfast tonight, he hasn't seen him for 4 days!
