what a year, really crammed full of ever-so-exciting and ever-so-fed-up, what a mixture, a real roller coaster.... to end the year we had Dig It Dogs Christmas show, I knew it would be really good fun for both Jette and Flynn and I wasn't wrong, dolled up with tinsel and silliness I also entered Flynn in anysize....enough said!! He's just nowhere near ready, I didn't realise just how far away from ready he really is, showed no semblance of anything remotely like agility really, he had a fab time, the jumping wasn't too bad but the agility just had too many wonderful obstacles in it and he couldn't decide which one to go on first lol!!! Time to take a step back. To be fair to the lad he queued really well so can get a prize for best queuer, and also he didn't bog-off in the ring so a prize for that too and there weren't too many poles down...but I did run him on small lol!!!
Handsome he may be...but also mad as a hatter too so no shows for him...sorry Flynn, maybe next year (or the year after!!) :-)
Jette rocketed in with a 1st in the jumping, lovely run, fabulous feeling, she just opened up and went!!! 2nd in the pairs and 3rd in the agility, what a girl!!! She does love her runs....!
To finish the year we had 121s with Lucy O, I'd booked time off work to make sure we got there but then heard a dog had the squits, we were with this other dog at the weekend so did the decent thing and backed out of the training, what with Lucy going to Olympia with Ben and all.... so that was a really damp squib, Jette knew we were going and was on her toes all day...poor girlie... :(
Willow old-but-wise-one kept me on my toes by having her face swell up alarmingly like a flippin' football!!! Luckily I'd only worked half a day so rushed her to the vet who operated the same afternoon, abscess from a dodgy tooth root to blame, I wouldn't have known, there was no smell and these things come on really quickly so I was lucky to get her in....phew!!!! All home and recovering well though, Willow babes don't do that!!! She's had loads of extra cuddles and cheese (with antibiotics hidden....!)
So that's all there is to say except....
...and a Happy New Year!!!
It most certainly has been a year and a half!!!! You and Jette have done brilliantly with tons of super fabby placings (and very skillful hiding in grade 2 lol). Bless Flynn and Winston sound just the same, well done lad on queuing nicely not an easy task and for not bogging off it must be really hard for these sociable lads to resist the temptation he did good :D The agility in competition will come in a bit more time Im sure just having fun in the meantime :D
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame you had to miss out on training but the only thing you can do :(
I hope Willow is feeling much better and avoids giving you any more nasty shocks these old dowgies are such a worry.
Have a fabby Christmas Jules, Willow, Jette and Flynn looking forward to catching up with you all in the new year for more chatting and fun fun fun :D Cxxx
Awh thanks Claire that's lovely!!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope Winston and Flynn can play out together at DD sometime :-) It didn't help he's not been training in sooo long now, been over 3 months so I didn't expect anything (good flippin' job ha ha!!)
Merry Christmas to you too, haven't you had just a fab year, amazing!!!
See you in the New Year, with Honey! :-) xxxxx
