Dashing Dogs

On Thursday evening we collected our new Caravan (Bill) this one has a lovely fixed bed so no more making up the bed after a long agility day, however it is a fair bit longer than our old one so I was a bit dubios about towing it all the way to Oswestry on Friday evening during rush hour! I shouldn't have worried, the trip was easy and the traffic on the motorways was very kind, so I was set up in no time, we had a brilliant pitch right at the front with a great view of all the rings. Our first class of the weekend was the knockout pairs, Jo and Zippy went first with a lovely clear and maisy took a pole and missed her weave entry but as time is added not faults we won and were in the 2nd round, we then took a double clear but just missed out by a whisker to the oposing team, it was brilliant and we can't wait till the next one. after that the weekend was amixed bag, there were some brilliant moments and some mad moments but the worst of it was waiting 6 hours on Sunday for the grade 1 jumping, it was the last class of the day and to be honest a very unfair course (IMO) to cut a long story short we were E'd on the 6th fence so a really crap day turned out even worse! I got home at 9pm and the drive was just long enough for me to re-visit the posotives from the weekend, I'm beginning to think we will never get our act together!
Luckily it wasn't all doom and gloom, Amy was at Wellingborough with Summer, thankfully Amy is finally feeling a bit better and they managed to come away with a 5th in jumping and another couple of clears so some more points for their record book. Summer seems to have really blossomed in her agility this year, it must be all the fun she's having, I'm really looking forward to watching her next weekend at Bretford.
Jo had a fantastic weekend, all her dogs appart from Ronny who like Maisy is keeping her feet on the ground!! Zippy is amazing he is destined to be a star in the future and Kody won practically everything he was in! I'm not sure how she managed to get home with the weight of all those trophies!!
