This may be the most amazing show location - the exercise area is the beach! And a perfect doggy beach it is too. The facilities are excellent too - great club house, great toilets, great beer, great coffee, just great!
Maisie Mouse did pretty well - 3rd, 6th and 7th place rosies! Not bad from 4 runs :) Actually the run she didn't get placed on was her best in a way as she was most speedy, though she broke her wait (& I didn't put her back - Bad Human) instead taking a weird detour round the outside of the dogwalk where the (surprised!) judge dodged out of the way, lol! In all the hilarity of this she missed the contact and then later took out a pole with a flying leap - not E'd though. So from 7/8 Es last week to none this week, haha!
Tim kept up the E quota though. He was much less focused this time and downright hard work at times. I was really encouraged by how he ran last weekend but it's two forward and one back sometimes ... Dogs are such great levellers! Anyway, the one run he set off superbly on I stoooopidly twitched a shoulder and pulled him off a tunnel, arrrg! (Bad Human again) He had fun though and did do some nice bits. He also had a super walk on the beach with a big gang of dogs - which he's not really done before - and he behaved v nicely and had a whale of a time.
Billy had several walks on the beach and one into the village. He was a bit confused by beautiful big bouncing baby Flynn but just did a bit of slightly nonplussed gentle woofing, lol :o)
It is a great show but in future I'd defo try to make at least a long weekend out of it as it felt like too far to go for just two days - v v tired driving home last night.
Big Ta to Louise McGovern and Laura Sivell for pics of Miss Mouse and The Ginger One respectively :)
