    [singlepic id=251 w=320 h=240 float=none] I didn’t quite get the points I wanted from the EMDAC show. Dylan needed to be top-8 to qualify for both the Agility and Jumping Grand Prix Finals, and we are 13th in the Agility and 8th in the Jumping. So, we’re comfortably into the Jumping Final on that, but…

    Hmm, where do I start?! Thursday. Thursday … happened. EMDAC always run the Thursday classes in the evening, usually starting around 5pm and finishing around 8:30-9. It’s usually fantastic, running on cool summer evenings and under the floodlights. It started so well … I elected to run Kim NFC in Introductory for Thursday. I can…

    A long, long time ago, Kim got her first ever placing at High Peak (a 9th, in Elementary Jumping, when the jump heights were 30″ and she was still a big dog). So there has always been a big star next to the name in the show diary, but for various reasons we’ve never made…

    I left the dogs at home for a long weekend in London, and I didn’t miss them at all. I had a fab time doing touristy things and catching up with friends, and appreciated the time away from the dogs. And then I came home, and was grateful for the joyous greeting I got from…

    Dogs Unleashed 2010 Originally uploaded by kayanem It was baking last year at Newark, and Bakewell didn’t want to let us down so the weather was beautiful but boiling. We were flyballing on Saturday and entered agility on Sunday, which worked really well last year, not so well this year. Sheffield were hosting the flyball…

    Sooooo … apparently Dylan has qualified for EMDAC’s British Open Championship class in July! I didn’t realise but MCCS was one of the qualifying shows. The top scoring dogs from the show qualify, and Dylan was obviously one of the top scorers. That is slightly terrifying, I’ll have to do some proper training. I think…

    This show should be good; it’s well organised, gorgeous venue, good competitors, but it just never seems to work out for us. We really should have won our division with the girls’ team, we ran a stupidly fast 20.03 first thing, but we went to 5 legs and lost everything for the rest of the…

    Good weekend. The girls were both running in Marsh, and Dyl was in with the Eagles. Kim ran really well, but she does make me laugh. Or I make me laugh. We both know when we have a cat’s chance of winning and Kim responds by lazing off the box. She threw in a few…

    mollie04 Originally uploaded by kayanem Dylan worked his socks off on Saturday. His Primary Tunnel Teaser run was genuinely really fab on a very difficult course, he did some awesome tight turns and although we went a bit messy at the end, I was quite pleased just to get round! We came 1st, which was…

    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…
