Choices and the Weekend...

Well Sunday we went upto UKA show in Oxford. I declined running in most things but did work Boo in the Champ SChase as I knew I could just send and collect him with no running, he did fab and won the class which made me smile :)

Hoaxey has a chunk out her foot so couldnt even run for Nic and Linx isnt moving properly so he is off to the vets this evening. :(

Yesterday we went off to an NCT class, it was fun and scary at the same time- I have written on my baby blog about it!

Today I made a very hard desision and withdrew Boo from the Olympia Semis on the 4th July. I am gutted as he is working so well right now but I just know it isnt worth it. Even if I feel up to giving it a shot, semi days take a huge amount of energy and commitment. Not only that but day 2 is pretty prestigous this year. With the likes of Toni & Kite, Tash and Maddie, Greg and GT, Dave & Dobby, Nic and Caleb, Leah and Herbie and Lee and Shy to name just a few! In fact every dog on that day is pretty fantastic. Anyway I have no doubt that on a good day with myself and Boo on top form that we could qualify. But I just cant be! I cant run Boo at his best or anywhere near it, just way too slow, it just isnt worth risking myself and Baby for anything. I also don't want to wake up on the day and either feel that I cant run or that it is raining etc and then deprive someone else of the spot. Therefore I finally pushed myself and e-mailed Dave this morning to withdraw Mr Boo.. :(

Boohooohoo :(
