west lakes and beer....


Well after Flynny-bobs hip and elbow score plus 2 new tyres(!) we managed to get off to West lakes show for the weekend. Pitched up in the rain (thanks to Helen J) and it was ll looking pretty miserable weather wise till Kirsty arrived, the sun shone, sloe vodka was to be drunk and the sun came out, yeah!!!
Decided to run 2 classes Saturday while we helped in Brenda's ring, then all 4 classes on the Sunday and it proved a good plan, leg muscle improved over the weekend so felt much more confident to run on the Sunday. We had a couple of 'if only' runs on the Saturday, managed a rosie on 5 faults then pretty much the same on the Sunday when we missed just the dogwalk contact on a lovely agility run....bummer! Still got a place but in the 1-3 Combined Agility we got 19th!!! Yeah clever girl, she loved it, Doc's courses are always fun to run but getting a place was just fab for Jette! Apparently I was very noisy jumping up and down (says Louise) but I don't care, we never win trophies so everything's good to us :-)
Shame it wasn't graded, in real danger of making Grade 2....
Got a lovely good-e in Andrew Garrat's Combined 1-3 Jumping on the second to last fence, shame but soooo much fun to run it!! Louise and Suzanne got trophies, Kirsty/Maisie and Helen/Skip got rosies and Willow loved the beach (and fell in love with Tyler big boy) plus Flynn fell in love with Pickle and Belle so all-in-all a fab weekend, roll on Dog Vegas and Dilly Dogz :-)
Plus we got beer, brill!!!
