...a weekend in 3 parts










Wow! The 21 KC day rule is finally over and we're free, really free!!!
So Friday we went to hydro for a real play-out, Willow stayed at home for this one coz it's been a bit cold this week and her toe hurts but Flynn and Jette really had a great time and Wills got a special walk all to herself for being a 'ickle darling :-)
Saturday was the Gundog show, there were no ifs and buts with this one, we were going and we did!!!
We got there, had four runs and we got home, massive achievement! Jette was just mega-giddy to be back out and was sooo fast, sending onto tunnels and letting me get ahead so I just went with her and let her work it herself. The A-frame nemesis reared it's head (twice) and she was so giddy she couldn't make her weave entrance and went sailing over the last jump all by herself (although it was the wrong jump) if I could have captured her smile as she can running back saying 'look mum I did it myself' it would have been just great, you couldn't help but laugh. Nice to be back to it with my giddy black girl!
Others got fab results, Bella-super-speedy-lab got well placed in both the agility and the jumping, my goodness that girl can jump!!! Well done to them :-)
Today we had a dog-day-out at Cannon Hall, I love going there, you meet all sorts of dogs and owners, fascinating to talk to them as everyone chats, the weather was just beautifully Autumnal and the dogs played ball and had a real blast, they sooooo needed it. Flynn got to practice his social skills with mini-people and then took him to meet my sister at her house to try and help him become less scared. The clicker is working well, keep up the good work mate :-)
All dogs curled up at home while tea cooks, what an ace weekend!!

  2. The lime green fungus is huuuuuge Kirsty, wish I'd put something next to it for scale and the colours are just fabulous in the Autumn sunshine :-)
