Scruffs Visit

Scruff is here to visit us for the week end. We posed for this picture after we were told to, but we wanted to play instead. Can you tell from our expression?
When Scruff first got here he was a little bit overwhelmed with us but he soon settled down to our games. The three of us chased toys thrown by KnK and we let Scruff get them a few times.
Three of us mooching in the garden is much more fun and we take turns being the chaser or the chasee. Scruff's little legs make it hard for him to keep up with us, but he can sneak through gaps that are too small for us and so he can dodge us quite easily. He has to go home soon, so we had better get back to playing.

Tiffany, Agility Dog Excellent

Tiffany has passed her final leg of the ADX title, and then she passed another one just to make sure.
The pic shows her with her sashes and qualification cards, while lying on the dog bed she won in the raffle.

It had not been a successful week end. We were both in the Obedience trial on Saturday, I missed out on one Heel command in the CD heel work and got non qualified for that, and Tiffany needed 2 commands on the Broad jump for the CDX class, which also got her a non qualification. We were pretty much in the dog house until Tiffany got her first pass on Sunday morning, then passed again in the afternoon trial.

We practised Strategic Pairs on Thursday, and we did quite well. KnK are going to enter us in Strategic Pairs at the next Games trial. We have to complete an Agility course where we take turns in doing sequences of obstacles until all the obstacles are completed. Should be lots of fun!

Agility Trial at Noarlunga

Keith is not happy. Tiffany knocked a bar down in her ADX trial, you can see the bar on the ground behind her in the picture. Not only that but she refused on the hoop too. Then in Masters Jumping, Tiffany refused on the hoop again. Keith is not happy.

It was a humid day and we do not like weather like that so Tiffany was feeling a bit out of sorts. We had been resting in the shade while we were waiting for Tiffany's turn in the trial but we were both hot and sticky by the time Tiffany got in the ring, and her runs clashed so she did not get much of a break between them. Even so, Keith seemed to think she should have done better. Did I mention he was not happy?
