Happy Birthday Ronny

I cant believe its Ronny's 5th birthday today, where has the time gone. Here is Ronny at only a few months old, how cute is he ???



Last weekend was quite successful, at EMDAC Ronny gained a 2nd in jumping and Keisha had a few good placings 3rd, 4th, and 10th. Unfortunately dash and fetch wasn't at the show but the lake was the next best thing and Pudsey suddenly found his swimming legs and is now officially in the swimming group, I think he got board of watching from the bank and the next thing he just leaped in and off he went. Just Kody left now, im not sure if he will ever get past just dipping his legs in. Unfortunately Kody caught his dew claw during his agility class and we are now waiting for the nail to fall off, he is a bit of a drama queen and thinks he has broken his leg, obviously I didn't run him on sunday so he could sit in the van and nurse his poorly.

Chipping Norton turned out to be a good show, Keisha did a lovely jumping round to finish 3rd and her agility would have been a really nice round but I didn't call her in quick enough and she ran past the jump getting a refusal, obviously she got all the contacts in that class !!!

Ronny and Keisha were drawn in the same part for the combined 1-7 jumping, I ran Ronny first and messed about trying to get him over a jump waisting a valuable second, after all that he was only 0.4 sec off the winner and finished in 5th place, I cant believe I let him down again, he would of definitely won the class beating those grade 7 dogs eeerrhhh. Keisha had a perfect run to finish 8th, I thought she would have beat Ronny's time but it just goes to show how incredibly fast he is. One day I will get it right with him.

This weekend we are at Derby, im really looking forward to it, Ronny has made the Adams Derby Final which is being held on saturday after all the rings have closed. It's run very much like the power and speed classes, im having this re-occurring dream of Ronny jumping those contacts and not even making it to the jumping part, I know he can get quite excited in front of a big crowd, fingers crossed we get to complete the course.
