Weekend Away

This weekend we headed off for Somerset as Conor & Heidi were on their Agility Instructors course, taught by Mike Bacon and I am pleased to say Conor passed with flying colours and can now competently teach agility. He still has two more modules to complete in September enabling him to teach to competition level. His first student will be me and Megan.


I think Heidi really enjoyed herself this weekend and it really helped her confidence and socialisation. She made a new friend called Emy (Pictured Left), she is Mike's daughter Claire's dog and is a 14 month old Tervuren. They played together for ages, chasing each other around.

Heidi also got herself a boyfriend, another of Mikes dogs, called Jet. Conor said at one point Heidi was crying to get to him! (there is a picture of him at the bottom.)


Conor really enjoyed the course and was very impressed with Mike's training so he has booked a private lesson for him and Heidi in a few weeks and I am having a lesson with Megan there on the same day, just to get some more pointers on foundation training with her. This afternoon I went to watch them on their course as they were doing practical training so I managed to take a few photos whilst I was there.



On Friday whilst I was entertaining myself I went to Cheddar Gorge, I went as a kid but it was good to go back. Yesterday I took myself off to Bristol Zoo for the day. It wasn't the best Zoo I have ever been too as there were no Tigers, Giraffes or Elephants but there were Lions and my favorite, Penguins!

I also have a close contender to be my favorite. Meercats, they are very cool!
