Sun/Windburn & Rosettes!

Wow, 1st camping show for Molly Dog and I! I have succeeded in burning my face in Berkshire, something only a blonde could do. Molly was very sleepy on our return yesterday. This is her with her best rosettes. Two 10th place (over 100 dogs each class) in steeplechases and a 3rd in UKA Gamblers. The Labrador & the blonde's brain are both a little fried but we had a fantastic time and are looking forward to the next show that we can escape work for!
It turns out Vyne was not at all scary for us. I had failed to realise that the courses we run at training are so far beyond a KC Grade 1 that even I remembered the courses and although we didn't go clear in either, the knocked pole in jumping and the missed weaves (we repeated them until we got them right) were actually because she ran so fast and cornered so well and I didn't reign her in enough! The ABC Olympia was hysterical, I was so pleased that she offered a touch on the dog walk I completely forgot the rest of the course and giggled through a very shoddy 2nd half! All in all we had lots of fun and gained more invaluable experience. Thanks to Leah who let us crash in the caravan and apologies again that Molly cost you a night's sleep on Wednesday! xx
