Ronny in his glory

So here is my brilliant boy, I finally managed to take a picture of him.

Last night I finally got home about 8.30pm, I dropped mum at home and picked Kody up who was very pleased to see the rest of the pack, I fed the dogs and put them all to bed, not a peep out of them until it was time for work this morning.

I finished a few hours early today as I'm absolutely knackered, I think I'm just going to potter about the house for the rest of the day, let the dogs play in the garden and enjoy each others company. Maybe Ronny and me will curl up on the sofa together, i think both of us are as tierd as each other, mind by the looks of him playing in the garden maybe its just me !!

Ronny's fantastic day

Wow is how I'm going to start this !!

If anyone told me today was going to turn out like this I would never of believed them. Ronny was my only dog in action today and didn't I know it, we started of in breed where Ronny showed his socks off, he loved every moment of it and was rewarded the reserve dog ticket, OH MY GOD !!!
Lisa and Chase picked up the dog ticket which made him into a champion today, well done you thoroughly deserved it. Grace and Kiah got second in their class as did Dave and Rusty, so well done to both of you.

It was then time to dart over to the flyball, our team looked great and they ran fantastically well, they won their first race and made it to the semi finals, unfortunately they got knocked out but finished an amazing fourth which was a great achievement.

Amy and Ronny then hit the YKC handling class, I want to take a moment talking about this as I want to tell everyone what a great handler Amy is. Ronny is not an easy dog to handle, he always wants to do everything as fast as he can but when he gets it right he is awesome, today Amy had him spot on. I can honestly say I have never seen Ronny stand so still and he really wanted to work for Amy, you are a great handler and you can get the best out of any dog, your more than welcome to borrow him again.

Yesterday Keisha, Pudsey and Zippy were at crufts doing discover dogs, they absolutely loved it and brought lots of attention to our stand, the time flew by but to be honest after all the fuss they had I think they were definitely ready for a leg stretch, so that's what we did, a couple of hours shopping, a new bed for Ronny, lots and lots of goodies including 100 pigs ears, we decided to call it a day.

Zippy monitoring the hand cleanser dispenser, not sure who put him in charge mind.





So that's it, a really enjoyable weekend, some fantastic results, lots of new friends, I cant believe we have to wait another year to do it all again.

Good Luck

I cant believe Crufts has started, today our flyball box loader Laura was competing in the YKC ring in the obedience and handling class, I've not heard how she has got on yet but hopefully everything went well. Good luck to Natalie and Kiros for their agility tomorrow, let us know how you get on, good luck to anyone else competing too.

Keisha, Pudsey and Zippy will be coming with me on saturday as we are doing Discover dogs in the morning, I still need to finish grooming them, especially my curly one. Ronny will then join us all on the sunday as I have entered him in breed and he is also competing in the flyball and YKC handling with Amy. Kody is having a weekend off and stopping at home with dad.
Last night we were at obedience club, Zippy has been moved up a class as have Kody and Pudsey into the Silver class. Ive been asked to teach so I start my 6-8 week stint next week. I haven't done any teaching for a while so I best polish up !!!

Wicked pancakes

Mum and me had a great day in London, we walked loads but we were very good, we didn't buy a thing. We had been recommended to go to MY OLD DUTCH restaurant which specializes in savoury and sweet pancakes. They were the biggest pancakes I have ever seen, they tasted pretty good too, Ive attached the savoury pancake we had.

We then jumped on the tube and headed off to the show. It was absolutely brilliant, we have seen a few musicals now and this one was up with the best, I definitely recommend it to anyone. If anyone is considering it you can get some good deals on a website called lastminute.com

Training Training and Grooming

Today has been packed full of training. Kody started the day with his agility lesson, he is really starting to make progress now and his jumping is really coming on, this session we did some flick flacks, pull in's and some directional commands.

Keisha was next up and we started off with her not wanting to turn right, none of us could understand why, it suddenly dawned on me the A-Frame situated left of the jump had a contact tile at the bottom, her belly was ruling her head, although she didn't go over she certainly was distracted by it, once removed she soon started to concentrate.

After agility I then zoomed over to Emma's. Flyball training went really well, the main concern for next week will be to catch Ronny after he has finished his run otherwise he will go back down for another go, nothing like being keen !!

I managed to film a training run from earlier today



This afternoon I had a major grooming session, both Kody and Pudsey have decided to blow their coats. Between 5 dogs I manged a whole carrier bag of hair. Two hours later and a sore back to show for it the dogs don't look any different, I'm sure they feel alot better though.
