Happy Easter

Easter weekend didn't exactly go to plan for us. On Friday I was meant to competing in Obedience with Kody for the first time but it got cancelled due to the snow. Instead we took Chaos and Brenda over to Dog Vegas to get them measured and just for a wonder around. Chaos was not as confident around the show as he had previously been, something to work on as we haven't been to any shows over the winter.

Yesterday we were competing at Dog Vegas but when we got up we discovered Kody had got a dodgy stomach, all over the living room carpet. After cleaning that up we were late leaving and I decided not to run him as he was not well, just leaving Heidi. I missed walking the first course, 3-5 Agility but she ran really well, just knocked the first pole and I put her back on the A-Frame for self releasing. I was so pleased with her. We took her back to the van, went to get some breakfast and then went back to check on the dogs and found Heidi had injured her nose.

She had been to the vets this week as she has had a lump on the bridge of her nose for a few weeks which we now know is a Histiocytoma. We are monitoring it to see if it shrinks and she has antibiotics but if not if will have to be removed. Heidi had been barking in the van, banged her nose and taken the top off it so it was bleeding. We decided to call it a day and go home. She is back for a check up on it on Wednesday this week so hopefully we will know more then.

I'm quite glad I had only entered one day, we have a few days now to get some jobs done at home and I have all of this week off which is nice. Kody is better today too. 

Anyway Happy Easter everyone.

Snow For Easter?

I cant believe where this year is going, already is March and very nearly Easter. Needless to say our training plans have well and truly gone out of the window, the weather has just been horrendous lately, either too wet or too cold or windy to venture outside. When will it ever be spring?!

This weekend we were forecast loads of snow, as it happens we only has a small amount and its nearly all gone, we are just left with loads of mud. I must admit I was slightly disappointed yesterday that we didn't have as much as other places in the country as it was my weekend off so I certainly wouldn't have minded.

Next weekend is our first Agility show of the season, we are at Dog Vegas but I have only entered one day, mainly due to it being so early in the year and far too early to be camping in my opinion! I hope the weather improves and we don't have a snowy Easter.
