What a strange week...
Olympia Horse of the year was on and some the best agility dogs where competing there, but this year you couldn't see it on the TV, so we were sat on Facebook waiting for messages to pop up from friends who where either there or watching the results pop up on the official Olympia web site, so many agility folk would pay to see this, I personally cant see why some one doesn't show this for us all to watch........
Sunday evening we suddenly and unexpectedly, very sadly lost an agility friend, a lady who did so much at shows, although in a lot of pain herself, she always had time to stop and chat to people, never said a bad thing about any one and totally adored Tom and her dogs...all their dogs names began with "P", not sure the reason why, they just do.....
The Agility community is in shock, having not long ago lost Gary (who gave me my first ever agility clear round Rosette with Cassie) to cancer....
and then in another breath, I'm all excited about this manic Sennen pup, who's bonkers and I do wonder what we have here!...both Ian and I where expecting something a little quieter being that Annie (greyhound/whippety lurcher girl) was the mum...
She can Tug like the devil! (not that I've tugged with the Devil, but you get my drift) plays ball and retrieves (indoors) great, sits on command, knows her name, has learnt to open the back door, stand on and in a washing up bowl, just about to progress on to the elephant trick. stands on a paint pot, twist to left and right and a down, I hasten to add, she knows none of these except "sit" by name!...just about to start on the crate games, but as I've forgotten how the first part goes, must borrow my DVD back! and about to start on the wait game.
She has been to Padstow, met a policeman, been in the pub, meet a pram and a wheelie bin, a donkey and pony, been to the beach, walked on the sand, dug holes in the sand and started to play with our pack, Harry's her bestest mate.....
She has played with Holly the collie, had a wee walk with 2 labs, 2 collies a springer and a wocker, been in Steve and Peta house with their two Belgians.......That's all in week one of being here!
She eats her chicken wings, mince and vegs, without a second glance, house training is interesting, I'd forgotten how much a large pup wee's! and last night she slept from 9.45 straight through til 5.15 woohooo!
So I think you can say, she's settled right in, although she still need a telling off, from the Red dogs yet, to become a fully fledged member!
