I’m firmly convinced that Agility causes rain. Gem and I had four wet runs on Saturday, but lucky for us the supposed “Heavy Rain” that was forecast never eventuated. Her first run surprised me; she not only tolerated the rain, but seemed quite enthusiastic. We’ve only ever entered the ‘open’ classes about 11-12 times [...] The whole gang were there today, Gemma, Finn and myself, and Rosie and Pepper with Ang at BDOC for the double trial. I’ll let Ang tell her story, but no matter what she says, she’s damn close to getting a good pass at Novice. Just a bit of detail work on the heel position, [...] Some days, you can’t put a foot wrong. Others, the most surprising things happen. Gemma had four runs in today’s trial at BDOC. Open Agility, Excellent Agility, Masters Jumping and Open Jumping. The Open and Excellent courses were all well within our comfort zones, but eluded us by a bar or a weaver exit, [...] Five years old today! We’ll have to arrange some fun activities for you today, and a nice chicken dinner Nothing too strenuous, mind – you have four runs to do at the Agility/Jumping trial tomorrow, and it’s been a while since you’ve had any training (weather!) and even decent walks have been few [...]  We’re back from EPIC, with our haul of trophies and quali certificates It was touch and go at the start, with the pre-arranged handler for Finn not arriving in time for the earlier-than-planned start… but thanks to the Herbas for organising a third rider in three days for Finn – Shane did a [...] Talk about an endurance test! It’s twelve hours to go before it even starts, and I’m exhausted! Angela caught a cold this week, so she had to pull out of running with Finn, so at the eleventh hour, I had to scrounge – somehow – a Canine Association member who wasn’t already entered, and [...] Not far from home today, but a long day nevertheless. I joked with Alan (the Jumping judge) after walking the course… <looks up at the sun in a blue sky.> “Looks like a lovely sunny day with just a chance of title.” Gemma was on top form today. She won her Excellent Jumping class [...] Ang (Pepper’s new ‘mum’) kindly agreed to be Finn’s handler in the official ANKC “Endurance Test” next month. Before inflicting him on an unsuspecting Angela on the day, we agreed it would be a good idea to have a practice run on the same grounds today. I am very proud of my kids (and [...] A lovely day today – good for long walks. Apart from the pocket JATO attached to my waist, that is. (JATO: Jet Assisted Take-Off booster rocket, used to get planes airborne) It does indeed look like the blood from Shadow was nothing to do with her fertility. If she’d been in season, I would [...] |
