Games Trial

We went to the Gawler Games trial today, and Tiffany passed both of the trials she was in! She was in Gamblers Excellent for the first time and then passed Snooker Novice for her second pass. We were celebrating and then Ricky came over to congratulate her. The pic show the three of us. Ricky has his own blog, see the "Ricky's Ramblings" link to the left under Blogs to Read.

Ricky suggested we add a Submit Button at the top left of the sidebar, so we did. If you add your email address in the space under " Follow By Email" heading, then press the submit button, each day we post to our blog you will get an email to let you know. No post, - no email. You have to go through a verification process to stop spammers, but it is so easy a human could do it.

Bath Time

We have had a lazy few days, not doing much since we got home from the trip up north. Today was bath time. Now most dogs shudder at the "B" word but we love it. We bite the water as it comes out of the spray, we shake ourselves and get the humans wet, then we attack the blow dryer and make as much noise as we can. It is an outdoor bath, because of the mess we make, but the water comes from the laundry and is warm so we enjoy it so much more. I went first because I am the oldest. Hannah was barking and whining while I had my bath and blow dry, then it was her turn while I dried off with some biscuits. We have had our nails clipped, our feet trimmed and a good brushing, so we are ready to face anything the world can throw at us.

Agility Again

Tiffany had another pass in Excellent Jumping yesterday. We were at the Agility Dog Club Trial for the afternoon trials, and Tiffany was in Excellent and Open Agility and Jumping. She did the Excellent Jumping course first and passed, but that was the only pass for the day. Only one fault in the Agility Excellent, missed a weaving pole as she turned into the sun, but was DQ'd for a wrong course in the other two.

We were both back in training on Tuesday, getting ready for the obedience trials.

I am down to one pill a day for the SRMA, and Kathy is going to reduce them to alternate days. Hopefully, I have seen the end of the meningitis.

Back Home

We're Back! After nearly 6 weeks, we are back home. A week ago we were in Darwin in the warm, and now we are in the cold. The pic shows us at Mandorah looking at Darwin from the Cox Peninsula, and then underneath we were standing in the Outback near Coober Pedy on the way home.

For 6 days we have been travelling, only a quick walk break every couple of hours and back to sleep in the car. Now we are home we can run in the garden any time.

KnK are planning the next trip, so we wont be home for long.

Hannah - 99 points

Hannah is on 99 points towards her Champion title. Just one more to go and that will be it.

The trouble is, we have so many things to do over the next few weeks, we do not know when Hannah can try for the final point.

Keith was away in Singapore so Kathy looked after us and took us to the shows. I was there to support Hannah, gave her a few last minute tips, and some woofs of encouragement. She was even given a good long look for Minor in Group, but her shaved patch on her back is still noticeable, and the prize went to a Golden.

Keith is back, we both broke through the back seat barrier to get to him and give him a good licking when we picked him up at the airport, next time he leaves us we will bite him!
