...so it felt more than a bit peculiar...

...off we went up to Hare N Hounds, 

....not to run, but to help Brenda with her CSJ/RAS Medium ABC final. Well it felt really odd, didn't have to get up at silly o'clock, meandered up the A1 at a very civilised 10am to get there before lunch, sun was shining, lovely blue skies all round.

Final was very exciting indeed, wow some fab runs, I was queue person, everyone had to run in drawn order, so just ticked them off my list and wished them good luck!! Won by Amanda Hampson with Rogue (again!!)

So it all went very smoothly, go fab choccies from Brenda for helping, said hi to a few people I'd not seen in a while, Flynn was very gentlemanlike with Ms Pickle lol! She really is very pretty....and clever too from the results she's getting!! Well dones also to everyone really, great sets of results everywhere!! Claire and Helen were having an awesome weekend plus all from training were doing well too.

Must say my dogs looked very confused indeed...Jette was pulling to get to the rings, but she got her pigs ear just for being lovely. It's Lune this weekend, but realistically think it's over now for us, do we do the last one run.....?

So that was it, off we went home....nice leisurely drive back in time for evening walkies...
love 'em, perfect end to a lovely day.

So now it's over to Flynn, we may be some time ha ha, but he did do a whole jumping session with no knocked poles, so we might be back, maybe not next year....

Keep having fun everyone while we're away, want to hear how you're all doing, 
wish you all good luck! :-)

made the decision this morning...

.....finally after months of deliberation,

I am going to retire Jette, I was hoping to maybe squeeze an extra year into her jumping but I've been wondering about her eyesight for a while now, she's not seeing full height jump poles, so think it's wise retire her now. Happy days girlie, enjoy your runs in veterans, gosh who's going to tell her!!!

I'll miss running her, she's my crazy labbie girlie.....

Aw poorly toothy girlie!!

Well it had to be done, Ms Jette needed her tooth sorting, she was really good and didn't eat the locum vet either :-)

Took a couple of days to come round though, showing her age bless (aren't we all!!) Still all mended now.

So just been training away, lovely really, went over to DigIt and judged the jumping on the Sunday, which went well I think, well no-one complained ha ha. Day before Jette got 4th in the Novice Steeplechase at UKA but she seems really off shows at the moment whereas at training she is on stonking form.... so decided to just keep her training, it doesn't matter, whatever she's happy with.

Flynn had his first big boy Steeplechase, poles everywhere but he handled lovely and got his startline wait so not all bad :-) Good boy Flynn!!

As always it's lovely to see people and catch up, was a sunny weekend too so lots of smilie faces!! House is on the market now so mega-stress all round....eeeeeeek!! All these viewings and even worse, all this flippin' cleaning, more than a girl can take!!

Next weekend we've got Hare N Hounds, wonder if we'll actually get there this time....

Been over to Langsett res walking, had the place to ourselves, just lovely....
