Quiet Weekend...

Saturday I was supposed to be at the Agility Addicts show with Faith but after a week of bad sinuses and migraines I had a feeling I wouldn’t make it and I didn’t. I just didn’t feel up to the 2 hour drive and long day when I woke up on Saturday morning so just let the dogs out and went back to bed. I had quite a lazy day (haven’t had one of those for ages!) and just pottered about and did a few things at home, it wasn’t ‘til about 5pm that the headache finally shifted :(

I really wish we’d been able to go but nevermind, such is life. We spent a bit of time training directional commands instead. I did get a text from Sally though to say she’d been to a local unaffiliated show with Digger and he’d won both the Beginners Jumping and Agility…well done Sally and ‘Digs’! :)

Sunday we went down to the Wirral to meet up with the Dolphins where Tom and Kate were having a ‘mass’ blood drawing session for titre testing all the dogs that had been rabies vaccinated over the last month or so in preparation for getting them all passported for the Europeans in May. I think there were around 80 dogs to be done in total…quite an undertaking in the middle of a field! All went well and they worked so hard to get them all done, they must have been exhausted at the end of it though!

We also took the time to do some training with the ‘Demonz’ and the new dogs we’re bringing on…Sea, Squirrel, Kitten and Haze and Storm had his first runs back following his cruciate repair at the beginning of the year. We didn’t leave the training ground ‘til gone 4 o’clock when we all went to the local pub with Steve, Bridget and the kids for a ‘late lunch’ lol…the food and company was excellent and we didn’t get home ‘til after 8.30pm.

Some short videos from training…

Squirrel…looking very promising doing full runs on a training shoot.
Storm doing his first run back from his cruciate rupture injury…he’s never run on this style of box before so has a little fumble but is looking very promising for a full comeback in the New Year.
Sea doing a runback…his training has started really well.



Not much else to report really except that it is Spud's birthday today...Happy Birthday Spudley-Doo!! :)
