Wandering

I feel like I should be posting something, but I really have very little to blog about at the moment! We are unexpectedly having January off from competitions (flyball and agility), which I’m not too bothered about; I had planned to take a month off somewhere, and January is as good as any! Also, it’s raining, and pretty much hasn’t stopped since last weekend. It’s difficult to muster any motivation in weather like this.

I’m really looking forward to getting back to flyball training, it looks like we’ve found something that is really going to work for Dylan. He finds it hard at the moment as it requires him to power more from his back end, and I think he’s lacking some strength there right now. It showed at agility training this past week too, as he was skipping out on a jump that was minimum distance from the tunnel. He’s an honest boy and he did run it fine the first couple of exercises, but as he tired he found it hard to shift the weight back onto his hind legs and power up for the jumps.

That’s all ok though, we’re working on conditioning, hence why I think having the month off is ok. The girls could certainly do with it too, Mollie seems to be feeling her age a little more this winter. It hasn’t really slowed her down, but her eyesight is getting worse and she’s getting a bit dafter than normal. Time passes, unfortunately.
