Baby free day is always good so I felt relaxed and in control when I arrived at Vyne. Walked both my dogs Olympia qualifiers and they were lovely courses, nothing either dog couldn’t do! I ran Boo’s first and waited for ages in the queue by which time the rain started- great! Anyway, Boo was well up for it but he flew off the start line and his seesaw was a typical ‘boosaw’, hit it fast, jam the breaks on and slide- I hesitated slightly and almost worked it from behind but went for it and just couldn’t get to the end for my front cross and twiddled to close to the seesaw, pushing him round the back of the next jump by accident. I am so annoyed at myself as Boo is flawless at the moment and my hesitation, speed and poor planning let me down. I even saw that as a problem when I walked it but thought ‘oh, I’ll get there’. I think I would have made it if Id just run.
Hoax was a bit steady, I think she is still lacking confidence in the ring. I know from Boo that this will improve with time and I need to just stay positive with her. She missed her weave entry in the Olympia Q so that wasn’t me. Her jumping course was quite tricky but I liked it, she ran really well but yet again I was too slow and couldn’t get to a push out bit, she came inside and got a 5R, I took her back round the jump and we finished the course. Later I found that she got 4th place- fastest 5!!
We waited and waited for agility, by the time I ran it,all the other rings had been packed away! It was pipe tunnel straight after weaves which she can be naughty with, however she was really good. She wasn’t as fast as she is in training but she was neat and listened, she had a nice clear and won the class by a few seconds, taking her to G5 now.
The other good news is that she had her second measure which means she is officially now a ‘medium’ for life- yay!
