We used to spend most weekend in the summer(BA ...Before Agility) collecting, scrounging wood from skips, FTC, etc. We didn't have any heating except storage heaters and a wood burner, even when Ian put in the central heating we couldn't just walk past skips etc, we would still heat the house as much as we could with free wood (we did ask the skip owners by the way) I was rather OCD about it all and would start to panic if we got below half way on the log box and off we would go again with the trailer and landrover...We have a wood burner here too, but it is only dinky one and really doesn't heat the house like the last one, but hey it's so nice to watch the glow.....
Anyway thanks to a friend who chopped down a huge tree the other day, our log box is now FULL for the first time since we have been in Cornwall and we are about to start on a pile outside, some of the larger bits Ian's recons he is going to make into a table, yes this is Ian we are talking about who hates making anything of WOOD, you should of heard him when I said I needed a dogwalk please can you help me make one......
So my Saturday at home was spent, watching Ian with the chainsaw and chopper, I did help by filling the log box and tea making........
Tomorrow is a local dog show, for the "Smalls" and "Red", she is nearing her end of anysize now, she's almost 12 and some nights we see her struggle to jump on the sofa, then I spend most of the time whilst running her worrying whether she is going to hurt her self in the ring, the trouble is she is not the type of dog that would enjoy wondering around the rings socialising as all she really wants to do is agility, I keep getting told she looks great and I then I spend the time crying about it all, we have had such a great 10 plus years competing together and a few special people have had the pleasure at running her at full height and anysize and each one has enjoyed it as much as me, so may be tomorrow will be her last run.............
