This weekend had been like riding a roller coaster, one minute its great the next its horrible. Let me explain........
We arrived early friday morning just in time to walk the course, the weather was really windy but all the agility courses had all the contact equipment in, I walked the C3-5 agility Part 1 for Keisha and then later ran her but unfortunately she didn't go clear, Ronny was in part 2 but the judge had decided to take the see-saw out as it was blowing up from the wind, the dog walk was kept in, Ronny's running order was right near the start of the class so I went and got him, he ran absolutely brilliant not putting a paw wrong, running contacts the lot, he was winning right up to about 70 dogs in, in my heart I knew it was gonna have to be a rocket to beat Ronny but I just had this dreadful feeling something was going to go wrong.........
The judge then decided to re-start the class as the dog walk had become dangerous due to the wind and it needed to be taken out, all dogs must re-run.
I couldn't believe it, why does it always happen to me, the judge came up to me whilst I was re-walking the amended course and said it was such a brilliant run and he was looking forward to seeing him run again, I explained to the judge that Ronny is only spectacularly clear on very few occasions and a re-run in a class he already knew was never going to be clear again, he just laughed and said he will, well he didn't, 10 faults for two poles knocked.
Saturday was a mixed day, Keisha still thinks she is in season and is obviously running with some heavy weighted hormones as she has lost some of her speed (she has of course been spayed ages ago) she still managed a 4th in her c3-5 agility just missing out on first place by less than a second.
Mum and me decided we needed a good night out at Bingo, we didn't win a single thing all night until they played the last jackpot game of £150, I kept saying to mum I needed number 7, number 7, OH MY GOD number 7 was called, I won !!!
The dogs have been spoilt, new beds, toys, leads and lots of treats.
So then on to sunday, Keisha still running like a slug but managed a 4th in her helter skelter run and a 5th in the ABC jumping, it wasn't until the last class of the day in her c3-5 agility she realised she has actually been spayed and finally showed signs of getting back to her self, she ran a really nice round but sadly missed the dog walk contact just before the last jump, she would have won it by miles, im still having the moment constantly reminded in my head in SLOW MOTION.
Thankfully Kody brought a smile to my face, he ran a really nice jumping run to finish 7th, the photo above is of him, who would of thought he couldn't do the tyre a few months back.
Massive congartulations to Grace and Kiah who won two agility clases at the weekend to go grade 5 and to Lisa and Meme who also won their agility class to go grade 4, well done guys.
