Adventures

Last week I headed over to my mum and Dads for a few days and took Brian and Chaos with me. On Wednesday Chaos got to meet up with his brothers Basil & Bullet for a walk on Cannock Chase. All 3 boys got on really well, they enjoyed running around together and splashing about in the water. Basil and Bullet are darker in colour to Chaos but their personalities are very similar and they have very similar behaviours and quirks. They were lovely boys, hopefully we will see them again soon.

Brian went over to Kidderminster on Thursday to see Natalie for a massage. He was pleased to see her and she sorted out a couple of issues that he had but commeted that he is in in good condition for his age and hip problems.

The boys had several walks up on Cannock Chase over the 5 days that we were there, lots of splashing about in water too, I think they really enjoyed themselves!

Happy 8th Birthday Brian

Happy Birthday to my handsome boy who is 8 today! Love you lots x

Nuts and Empingham

Agility Nuts was our first show back after a bit of a break. It was boiling hot and although it was cool in the van I was a bit unhappy about them running in the heat so they did their runs first thing and then we left to come home. Think we got all E's!

Empingham was better, it was at Lincoln showground so nice and close and much cooler temperatures. The dogs ran well, especially Kody. Over the weekend we had 4 clear rounds! They were a bit messy in places where he still feels the need to argue with me all the way round but at least we actually got round some courses. Heidi was running well again too, lots of runs with only a slight mistake here and there. She did a cracking jumping run and ended with the fastest time but had a pole down.

At the past 2 shows I have been able to get Chaos around the rings, he isn't confident but if I get him doing some tricks it takes his mind off it and he copes much better. He has improved lots so just got to keep working on it.

Obedience

We had our second session at obedience last night. Chaos still wasn't happy to start with but he settled down much more quickly. He was actually able to use his legs this week and walk normally. He did good stays, recalls, walking through the gate calmly and walked well next to me (not really at heel but at least he was walking!)

Kody was good too apart from he just wouldn't wait so that we could do a recall, took about 10 goes! Think he is a bit nervous too as its a new venue. He did manage a 2 min down stay though so that was an improvement on last week.

This weekend is our last weekend of no shows, im so pleased as its really boring! Cant wait to get back and do some :)
