Billy Woof has earned his Flyball Dog Graduate award - over 3000 points! (Actually he earned it in September but the BFA points system has a bit of a timelag.) Anyway that's a nice landmark and it's his third level award. To be honest, they're sort of awarded for turning up, though they accrue more points when the team runs faster, and they have done pretty well. What a good boy he is!!! Not looking good for training for him tomorrow as it's bucketing it down and forecast gales ... the poor lad is most unimpressed with the weather.
We survived the Bonfire Night(s) celebrations last week - mostly by avoidance. Managed to get both Billy & Maisie through it without lasting trauma this time. We went to a Dog Vegas indoor show (Grantham) last Saturday and it gave us a busy day out. The exercise field was huuuge so spent much of the day playing out with all three and trying to tire them - good fun. Maisie managed a couple of unplaced clears but we were both quite distracted - partly due to a nearby shoot, and partly due to a bonkers calling-in system which meant daft queuing, rudeness and rush. Oh well. Nice to spend the day with great company anyway - human and doggy, including the delicious scrummy baby Beardie, Pickle, she is just soooooooo beautiful!!! & Tim's girlyfriend Belle who chases his ball for him whilst he chases her adoringly :o)
Training Tim was good again this week, he's so willing. He did all jumps at the height below large for the first time and didn't seem to really notice a change from medium. Though speedy, he seems to be jumping quite accurately which is good. His wait's gone a bit squiffy but think that's coz he's twigged how exciting this agility lark is and he's struggling to contain himself heehee!The ground's really swampy everywhere just now so The Swamp Monster is taking every opportunity to wallow - she's also "done" both cow and fox poo this week, in large amounts, what a lovely girly!!
