Oh dear.
I’m glad we put the six-trials-and-six-shows in 10 days at the South Coast in the “too hard” basket this year.
Between hiring transport for myself and four dogs, accommodation, entries, food, and the sheer logistics of handling two not-entirely, and two entirely trustworthy dogs with no secure yard… it was just too [...]

Good news/Bad news as it commonly happens.
The bad news is that we flubbed our run in Agility tonight; Gemma missed the down contact on the dogwalk and the seesaw(?) on her first “official” ADX trial.

I’m afraid [...]

I’m afraid I might have gotten to the bottom of Gemma’s occasional limp.
She woke up this morning limping, and it wasn’t because of anything she’d walked on this morning – so it was either muscular, or something brought on by the dismal conditions last night at Agility. Which we bombed. I’m not surprised [...]
