Go Team!

Dylan displays the belief of collies everywhere that staring at things hard enough will make them move.

It seems whilst we had an average weekend, everyone else went off and won things! My biggest congratulations to Alice and her gorgeous Cocker/Springer Spaniel Sammy who won the NAWS Class B Medium/Small Championship. Sammy is not the easiest dog in the world, he’s very all-or-nothing, but he finished up this weekend by winning the Agility and Jumping. I’m so pleased for them!

It worked! Kill it!

Also got the results back from the second two days of Carlton Towers. Night Owlers finished up winning their division, and Eagle Owlers also did great, coming 3rd in their division. And then Owlers’ superstar Whippet Murphy stepped up to join Doncaster for the Multi-breed on Monday, who also won their division.

Mollie wasn’t herself for a couple of days when we got back, I think she probably got whatever Kim had, and it explains why she wasn’t quite her speedy self at Selby. She wouldn’t even eat the turkey leftovers on Monday. She’s definitely back to normal now though, she’s been chasing Kim around the house and attacking any cleaning appliances such as vacs and mops.

Mollie tries out the collie stare ... on Kim.

The plan for the rest of the day is to try and make the jump wings I’ve been promising myself I’ll do this holiday. The only problem I’m having is with the feet … what’s the best way to make them fall over if a dog hits them, but sturdy enough to withstand a small gale?! I’ll report back later with photos and measurements for any budding agility DIY-ists out there.

Kim knows Mollie is on to her.
