  • Sunny Day at the Lake

    in , ,

    It was really very hot today. Hot = swimming! We took the dogs up to Digley just so they could spend all afternoon cooling off. Well. Dylan and Mollie swam. Kim didn’t. She was bossy and neurotic and demanding about the ball being thrown, but then declined to go in and fetch it. [singlepic id=166…

    Waldridge Fell. The KC Novice Olympia Qualifier was a tricky little course, but being a Combined 3-5 I wasn’t expecting easy. I walked it and quite liked it – Julie Buchanan was judging and she always includes a wall and a brush fence, which I love. The only thing I wasn’t so keen on was…

    [singlepic id=158 w=320 h=240 float=center] Beach. The beach at Redcar is gorgeous, all endless miles of sand and sea. Dylan and I spent a couple of hours there by ourselves earlier in the week, but the girls arrived on Thursday and Dylan was ridiculously excited to see them again so we spent all afternoon there.…

    Most perfect agility holiday ever. Redcar is a fantastic venue; I’ve raved about it before, but it’s a huge rugby club/football club training ground, so perfectly flat mowed lawns, nice big exercise areas, and 400m away is the Stray, a beautiful and huge dog friendly beach. What could possibly be better?! Hare’n’Hounds ran the first…

    I shouldn’t have even bothered taking my camera; the lighting was awful! Overcast skies + twilight = not good for photos of moving dogs. Still, look at Mollie’s smiley face! [singlepic id=153 w=320 h=240 float=center] Dylan is getting really irritating on walks, I keep wanting to smack him round the head! He is generally pretty…

  • Late Post: Flyball

    —

    in , , , ,

    The gang did well at flyball this week. Kim did 6 runbacks, just over 12″, to ease her gently back into things. She’s back on non-lead walks, except for the first 15minutes where everyone goes absolutely loopy and they chase each other around at top speed. Kim has to be restrained to avoid that, and…

  • Hoards of Killer Bees

    —

    in , , ,

    It seemed like a good idea at the time. However. Walking through waist high banks of heather in spring? BEES. Bees everywhere. I got all of four pictures in the heather, before the hoards of angry bees began circling my head and we fled. So we spent a lot of time at the river, avoiding…

  • Drax

    My first Drax. Events have always conspired against us in previous years, and we’ve never made it. Well, we kind of made it via Rotherdrax, but I’m not sure that counts! I warned everyone Kim wasn’t at all fit for solid racing, but due to one of the bottom team dogs coming into season, we…

  • Jumping

    in , ,

    Dylan was really rocking his jumping this week, I was a very happy bunny! Lovely and smooth, confident, and extended. I don’t think his take off points are right so we do have to do more work on that. Only one minor issue when he nearly backflipped over a jump, and I have genuinely no…
