Dog Vegas 28th, 29th, 30th May
Back to Bakewell didn't seem like five mins since we where here last time lol At least we managed to get the tent up without any rain was just a bit dull. As we've not trained for a good few weeks Bella was defiantly full of beans lol I think I was still a bit wary of my leg too as still not quite able to get to where she needs me to be but Iam making sure I warm up before each run. We had loads of naff runs really and shes started barking but its hard to tell atm if its just because we are not training or its something more. We did however manage a 3rd in jumping on Sat which Im pleased about as there was a huuuuuuuuge gap to the weaves which lots of dogs struggled with but I told her and she went. Sunday the weather was lovely at times and I managed a nice walk around Bakewell and the farmers market. We have 3 runs all of which where in the ring straight after the other bit of a nightmare for Bella as she had to be held at the ring side so I could walk, run, walk, walk run and run lol She did a fab agility run with 12 weaves done at some pace for her but just lost her footing so she knocked a pole I even managed to rear cross her on the A-Frame :) Then a nutty jumping run which we wont go into lol And finished off with a really good working agility course just our thing loads of front crossing we got 5f for a refusal as I tried a rear cross but she worked the whole time and came 3rd I was really pleased as they kept it the same for grade 3 so proved to myself we'd be able to do that level of course without too much trouble :D Monday was well wet wet WET!!!! I was a bit worried running myself let alone nuttyloo bombing about so we had 3 runs which where not good as I was just too scared I'd hurt my knee. We then had a really long wait until our last jumping class and I did consider going home several times then all of a sudden at 4ish this lovely sunshine just dried up all the ground and meant we could finally run properly. We entered the ring in fits of giggles as Pen had a wardrobe malfunction loosing part of the sole of her shoe, which we re attached with a shoe lace and elastic band lol We managed a clear by the skin of our teeth as Bella stopped part way through the 6 weaves as if she didnt have a clue what to do so I lured her through with my hand!!! She rand the rest lovely and I was just pleased to finish on a clear so was really shocked that she won the class, maybe the speedy dogs went home from the rain lol Well thats one towards grade 3 :)
