Hoaxey is a star!

Well done my little girl. You did me proud this weekend x

We went to WBSDS this weekend and the weather was fantastic! Saturday I got there early for two runs with Hoaxey. First a jumping course which was really nice, then the agility... I walked both. The Agility had seven weave poles in it, it was also extremly tight and twisty for her. This was supposed to be Hoax' first run. I was concerned that the odd weaves would cause issues for her and didnt want this to reflect on the rest of her runs so decided to pull out of that one. Her jumping was lovely bar her weaves again, she got her entry but doubled up on the next one. However the reattempt she completed perfectly, so a big improvment on last week. This run was at about 8.45am. She then had nothing until 5pm ish! It had been such a long day! I was so dissapointed when I walked the course and it had SEVEN weaves again!!! Oh No! Ah well, the rest was really nice and flowing and I wanted to try my scoop over the last jump of the snake so decided as it was end of the day I would give it a shot. Carol Dicker gave me a pep talk in the queue and I setup fully expecting her to miss the last weave but willing to give it a try. I decided to just attack the weaves properly and see what happens. I couldnt belive it when she got them all. I suddenly had to shift into gear and shouted 'Go go' to send her off to the tunnel for collection out of the collapsible. She flew round the rest of the course. She was quite wide as I think I was panicking a bit, thinking we may actually go clear, and the run for home nearly killed me but we did it! She had a clear round! I was so proud of her and happy, she then had hugs from everyone and got very spoilt. The icing on the cake was that she actually won the class! Clever little lady. I am very happy today! I have no doubt that we are nowhere near cracking the issue with our weaves but they ARE improving all the time and thats enough for me, for now :)

Boo was also a total star, he is really working well right now. I ran him in three classes, he went clear in two (and went clear in his run off there aswell, winning that). His Agility was just a training round. The only non clear was totally my fault. Then on Sunday I only ran him in the teams which he went clear in aswell! He is just an angel and my boy. I love that dog sooo much! I also got a chance to watch lots of Boo babies run this weekend including: Java, Missie, Chase and Jigsaw. They are all doing so well and I am proud of every single one of them!
