...summer days and evening pimms :)

Mum:
Well it's been a while, summer days are whizzing past and before you know it, it's August and Autumn is already waiting in the wings...
We all went and camped at Weardale champ show, lovely venue, great people and company, Jette did her 'try and knobble mum' impression all weekend, so came home with a bitten arm and a split lip for getting in her way on a course....gosh she takes no prisoners lol!! Lovely show but a bit geared up for the upper grades I thought and, despite a lovely evening with Pimms and friends, it might not be on my list for next year, very little for Flynn to come out to play on...
Flynn's had lots of playmates over the weekends, little Clover and Miss Belle have really enjoyed running round with him, although he has to learn to be extra gentle with pups :-)

Next we had Scunny, the weather had turned and the Summer rain poured down, managed to dry up for the afternoon, we managed an unbitten 2nd in the Jumping but Jette was still too giddy so the rest of the runs were spent trying to regain a little control...!! We did get some lovely cake with friends though, lots of friendly faces there so really enjoyed it...mmmmmmm yumscious!

...onwards to Hare N Hounds and BINGO! (despite being a very muddy agility-fest) I managed to get Jette to go on the contacts quite calmly and we came home with not one but 2 x Agility 4ths and a Jumping 3rd so well pleased!!!! I messed up in the other jumping run, not being able to run over to the other side of the tunnel so norty mum for that one!!! Really good show, helped out on the rings and people were lovely despite being so muddy, just gotta love HnH :-)

Flynn's training is really coming on, I just love working with him now, we seem to be more of a team and he is showing he wants to work and learn clever boy Flynn >3

...West Lakes is next this weekend, one of my fav shows, Willow and Flynn on the beach and Fish N Chips with Jette sat out on the front, Kirsty is bringing Plum Wine and I've got Crabbies and Pear Cider yippeeee! o :)

Most of all I'm really pleased friends and dogs are doing soooo well this year, Claire and Bella have gone whizzing up to Grade 4!!!! Go the gundogs!!! Helen and Belle are a win waiting to happen and Tim is doing some nice ginger bits for Kirsty :-) Good news Spike will be Ok to return from injury, Mel was really worried he'd be out for good.
Time is precious with our dogs, enjoy it every day while we can xxxx
