Run & Training
I have discovered a slight flaw in my well-considered fitness and conditioning plan, in that Kim is too smart for her own good. She now refuses to run for the first toy now, and will only run for the second,…
Hare'n'Hounds Valentines
I seem to remember saying back in November that I wouldn’t run three dogs again. Well, I did, and it was better – either because I was prepared for the chaos, or because everything just ran more smoothly! Kim ran…
Hare'n'Hounds Xmas Show
Ok, remind me never ever to try and run 3 dogs at one competition again! I have no idea how people do this on a regular basis, they must be completely bonkers. I don’t suppose it would be too bad…
