Dilly-dogs....

Next it was Dilly Dogs, I'd foolishly(willingly?) agreed to judge the jumping...I quite like judging there really, just means it's less time to spend with my own dogs... designed some courses to really get the dogs moving and extending, and it worked!! Seems like people really enjoyed the courses as it was a cold day, and it kept everyone moving, plus great help on the ring made things go really smoothly so thanks everyone for that!!


In the morning we had a tricky agility course...weaves out of tunnel, Jette got them and came 2nd, one of only 3 clears, but I wasn't happy with her run, she seemed very slow and un-Jetlike somehow, couldn't put a finger on it, she seemed OK really but just not her usual self, so pulled her from the jumping as she's been asleep for a while and not warmed up properly. Flynn managed a clear again, although I nearly came unstuck coming round to the tunnel 2nd time round....anyway well done matey boy, you got a clear!


Don't get me wrong, I was over the moon Jette came away with 2nd, we hardly ever pick up a place there, but Brenda also noticed Jette just wasn't happy. I'm thinking she is picking noise up from the pylons as she doesn't like Scunny either....maybe she can hear white noise we can't?...Something I'm looking into for a possibility anyway.


Was lovely again to meet up with people, Kylie had come with Finn her youngster who is so much like Flynn in attitude, they could have been separated at birth, excepting of course she's an ACD ha ha!! met Helen with her hounds too, not seen her at all since she left training, miss her chats... lovely day out despite the cold and wind, we've nothing much for a few weeks now so going to keep the dogs fit and do some walking (if it ever stops raining!) :-)

Helen with Belle came 2nd in the jumping, way to go!!!


Flynn and Jette's rosies, Jette is busy with bones and doesn't want her pic taken...
