Holiday Update

Well we are home and have had a really great couple of weeks away with the dogs. Dashing dogs was first where Megan set the standard high getting her first ever KC clear on the first day! She got another whilst we were there and Heidi got a 2nd in Agility so we were very pleased with that. We had a day out at the beach on Monday with the dogs although it didn't go totally to plan as the when we got to the first beach the tide was in and all the way up to the road so we had to find another!


On Thursday we left Dashing Dogs and headed off to Dog Vegas where we have been until today. Heidi had some very good 'nearly runs' taking out just 1 pole or missing out 1 weave but on the whole very good. Megan got a 2nd in the 1-3 Jumping on Friday morning so I was chuffed to bits with that and a 16th in the First Contact Qualifier as well. The dogs have become very tired though and it was definitely the right time to be coming home, Meg was losing her enthusiasm to run and had become very distracted by her dad watching (as she was at times during the start of the week) so for her last run today we just ran round as fast as we could not stopping for contacts or worrying about taking the right course so that she had fun and ended on a high.

The video's are of some of our runs from the past few weeks away, unfortunately no clears were caught on film (maybe a clue to leave the video camera in the van?!)
