A Long Weekend

I'm really excited as this weekend I have a long weekend off work, Sat, Sun and Mon! We haven't got a massive amount planned although me and Conor are planning to go Christmas shopping tomorrow and to the cinema tomorrow evening. We have hired a skip and are going to spend the next few days clearing out the shed and getting rid of lots of junk!

Me and Brian went to agility training last night, it went well but because I didn't have to leave so early as Meg wasn't going I decided to have dinner before I left, not the best idea as I was feeling too full to run around! Brian is improving loads but last night he seemed to not know how to weave. He can do it brilliantly at home but last night he kept missing out every third one. Very odd.

Megan hasn't been very well for a couple of days, an upset tummy (self inflicted due to eating things she shouldn't!), she seems OK today though so hopefully it has passed. We have got a new video camera so hopefully when I get a memory card for it we should have some video's of the dogs to post.

From a good week to a not so good one!!

Well last week we had a great week with lots of training but this week isn't so (for Megan anyway), our little girly is now all grown up as she has come into season today. I contacted our good citizen trainer and our test isn't until 23rd Nov so she should be all done by then and we can still do it. Obviously she wont be at agility on Thursday either so we will have to make an extra effort to do some at York road at the weekend with her.

Megan really is a funny madam, she is currently lying upside down on the sofa, bum in the air, with her eyes really wide open, any second now she will jump off and run around the coffee table as fast as she can (I've seen that look before!) and no doubt when she does Heidi will join in!!!

A Good Week of Training

Today we were supposed to be heading off for Gundog Agility but my friend Karen was coming up for a few days so we didn't go, as it happened she isn't coming now as she has got the lurgy!! Instead we have had a day at home catching up on housework. I took the dogs beds to the laundrette as they were really grubby and don't fit in my washing machine so they are lovely and clean now and smelling nice too.

We have had a good week of training this week, me and Meg had good citizen class on Monday, I managed to get to York Road on Tuesday after work and did some agility with all 3 dogs, Brian and Meg had agility on Thursday and all 3 have done some on Friday and again today at York Road. I took a couple of pictures of Megan jumping today (pictured above). She is really progressing well, we did some weave training too, she is learning channel weaves at her class and v-weaves at home.

I cant believe how dark it's getting already, I've had to put my lamp on in the front room and its only half 4, I guess winter is now definitely here.

Happy 1st Birthday Megan!!!!

Happy Birthday to little Meg and also to her brothers and sister Reno, Zippy, Speedy, Eva and Zippo. I can't believe they are 1 today, the time really does fly by! It seems only yesterday that we were contacting Jo and Jan about getting her. She is a lovely puppy though, very happy and loving, always wanting a cuddle. Her agility training is progressing nicely and she is keen to work which is the main thing. I guess the next big milestone will be when they start competing!!

From this...

(aged 8 weeks)

to this...

...and she is one very pretty little lady!

Its wet, cold and dark...

...and I'm not enjoying it at all and I'm doubting the doggies are either. This morning we managed to avoid the rain on our dark walk on the field, it just started as we were heading back home. I play ball with the dogs in the morning once they have done their business to try and wear them out a little before I go to work. Megan is not usually all that interested in playing ball but this morning she won nearly every time, it seems she likes playing in the dark, strange dog!

Today I set the video camera up as I wanted to see what the monkeys get up to during the day but it only recorded for 10 minutes then stopped so other than them eating the treats I left dotted around there wasn't that much to see.
