The White Stuff is Back!!!!

We woke up this morning to a load of snow again. There has been a few bits here and there all week but today was a good quite deep covering which has pleased the dogs. My mum and dad have been up for a visit so we took the dogs out to play in the snow and had dinner. They left quite early though as they didn't want to get stuck in the snow.

Yesterday me and Conor nearly had a nasty encounter with a horse, we were on our way home and passing through Tealby which is a village a few before ours when a horse ran out in front of our car. There was no rider on it and it ran off up some body's drive and began munching on their lawn. I got out of the car and knocked on the door to see if they knew who it belonged too and shortly after the owner appeared at the bottom of the drive. The horse was a bit spooked and didn't want to be caught and ran straight past her and into the road again, nearly getting hit by an oncoming car and nearly into our car which was parked on the side of the road. Having no experience with horses we left them to it and moved a little further up the road to slow down any on coming cars until it was caught. Luckily there was no accident and they caught the horse but it could have been pretty bad.

We haven't really been up to much this week, Megan had a training class on Tuesday and all 3 had agility on Thursday which went well. We did some work on our waits and even just 3 or 4 practices made a big difference with Megan, hopefully there will be the opportunity to do the same whilst waiting for our go next week too.

The motor on the heater in the van seems to be on its way out so that needs booking into the garage to get fixed, there always seems to be something!!!!

I have decided to take Brian back to training classes too, not that he really needs anything but he sometimes seems a little bored and so I was chatting to Caroline who runs Meg's good citizen and she does a class on a Wednesday for dogs who have done their Gold good citizen but just want to do a bit of fun training with their dogs, nothing serious, so I plan to take him to that although it wont be for a few weeks. I also found a place in Lincoln who do a class on a Friday called Social Fridays where dogs pretty much go and socialise with others! It is definitely the sort of thing Brian would love so I might take him every so often to that too. I'm not going every week though as Lincoln is a bit far just for a social outing!!!

We are really looking forward to the agility season starting now, Conor wants to do as much with Heidi as he can when he is home so we have ended up planning to enter shows much further afield than we originally planned as there aren't any that local all the time although there are a good amount at the Winterton Showground this year which I am really pleased about as its only half an hour from here! I have entered Megan into a couple of shows for when she turns 18 months but I have just entered her into anysize so that she can get a bit of experience in a show environment before she begins to compete. I have also entered her into a couple of nursery classes here and there too. Looks like we might have a busy but exciting summer ahead!
