Back to 19 legs

What is it with my dogs, get one dog recovered from an injury to find another one has gone lame. Keisha and Zippy accidentally collided with each other at the park yesterday which resulted in Keisha doing a couple of rolly polly's and getting up lame. Zippy appears to be ok so at least thats something. So now its time for Keisha to have a couple of weeks rest and put her feet up and enjoy the comfort of the house rather than the kennel for a change. (I best keep watch she don't milk it !!!)

Not much to update you on at the moment, all training has currently stopped due to the weather and unless it suddenly improves I doubt it will be on for the next week or so.

Which means there has been plenty of time to sit at the computer and plan which competitions im going to do in the year. I have mainly stuck to the same shows as I normally do but with the exception of one or two. It's probably a good time as the shows are starting to appear on the sites and it always seems like the camping gets full as soon as they appear.

Friday Fun

I decided to take the day off work today, im fed up of struggling to get in on time and on top of all that having to drive around in it all day at work too. So this morning was a nice lazy walk down to the field and let the dogs loose to play in it. Zippy and Keisha absolutely love the snow and for the last two days thats all they have done, Ronny enjoys the snow but much prefers the warmth of the house when we are at home.

As expected Wilmslow Show has been cancelled, im actually quite glad as I didn't fancy braving the roads, instead im sure a couple more trips to the field for the dogs to play will be just as good.

Megan Pics

Here are a couple of Pictures Kate has sent of Megan, a Ronny daughter.

So last night it finally decided to snow here, yippee. It's only taken how long??? Anyway the puppies loved it and ran around like right hooligans this morning, didn't look to impressed when it was time for me to go to work though. This evening they have had another long play and I think it might have finally tired them out.

We are supposed to be going to Preston on saturday for the Wilmslow Agility Show but im guessing it will probably be cancelled, more snow is forecast so its not looking good.

Football thief

So christmas has come and gone, I've packed away the tree and re-gained some space in the house, whilst sorting cupboard space out Zippy decided to steal the football, caught red handed !!!

Keisha's training went really well last night, I do love running the FCI type courses as its more challenging trying to pull the dog of the obvious obstacle, I feel we are not quite there yet but thankfully there are still a few more training days to go before the qualifier in March.

Agility club was cancelled this morning due to the weather so Zippy missed out on his class, however day 11 of weave training is now complete and today was distraction day, we had some real great fun doing this. Pudsey and Kody have now sorted their footwork out, Zippy is still struggling, I can see he wants to single stride it but he just cant get his co-ordination together at the moment, I've got an exercise I want to set up next week to try and help him out.

Happy start to the New Year

After a very late night I finally managed to drag myself out of bed this morning and make it to the field. Owning dogs is definitely a non stop thing and im sure my mob didn't care that my eyes were being held open by matchsticks today !!!

Still it was all made worth while as the dogs have had a great start to the new year, I am truly thankful that all the dogs were really easy to train today. As promised the dogs have been filmed (thanks to mum for being the frozen camera man)



So it was Day 9 today and by the end of the session they should all be able to do 12 weaves ........



Ronny is now back in training after having 3 weeks off, there is no sign of that injury so im very happy, he re-started his weave training today and im sure it wont be long until he catches the others up.

Anyway, I hope everyone has had a good start to the year, all the best and good luck for 2010 xxx
