...seaside agility and the show no-one wanted to go to....

Jette:
"I could tell it was holiday time, all the camping stuff came out and the car was packed up and off we went, for miles and miles, when we were a few miles off mum said, it's OK nearly there, and I could tell it was sooooo exciting!! Willow told me she could see the sea over Morecambe Bay so I knew it would be fish 'n chips on the beach, which it was, and I got bits lol!!

Setting up the camping was a bit tough for mum, the wind and rain never stopped and the tent nearly blew away, but eventually our house and garden were built. Kirsty arrived in the worst of it and mum never heard her come...sorry Kirsty mum says....she was going to help you :(

First run of the day (once Willow had stopped being so giddy being at the seaside,honestly those old 'uns!!) was a lovely big open jumping course by Nigel Long, mum likes his jumping courses, and I just whizzed round, whizz, whizz, whizz!!! And we won it getting one of those lovely West Lakes trophies, mum was ever-so-proud of me :-) After that of course it didn't matter and both of us made a few mistakes, picked up a couple of other places too but on faults, one mine, one mum's (she knocked a jump over, na-na-ne-na-na!!!)

We got some lovely walks on the beach but Wills got beaten up by a boxer on the beach and mum was a bit worried for her as she was being sick, so she packed us all up and headed home to make Wills comfy in her own bed. After a couple of days she was back to her old self, maybe she swallowed some seawater and sand when she was rolled over.

Next it was the show no-one else wanted to go to, we camped with Helen,Belle and Skip, again the weather was awful to set up but got better as the weekend went on. I got a lovely jumping 2nd and another 2nd but insisted contacts were for wimps and only managed one in each course. Mum and the judges laughed when she jumped up and down and called me a numptie lol for missing my weave entrance so, to prove them both wrong, I did it perfect second time around ha ha!!!!

Flynn got to play with Belle who was a star for Helen and got sooo many places with Skip too, I can't remember them all, bloomin' loads!! Wills was much better this weekend and really loved sitting round the rings watching and telling them they were all doing it wrong lol!!! It was our last camping trip of the year although we're moving houses a lot this winter so we can pretend we're camping there too.

It was a lovely show, we did special boxed pairs with Skip and got 6th!!! Roll on next year's camping but please can we get a tent that doesn't leak next time?"



How lovely was the show no-one wanted to go to :-)

  4. It was a really lovely show, no idea why people don't like it, OK you don't get rosettes if you don't win but place certificates mean you can claim your points up to 10th place. What a shame it's not there next year, lovely countryside and slightly eccentric which I like lol!!! All the dogs loved it so gets the thumbs up from me :-)
