Saturday was the Midlands Border Collie Clubs annual Utility day, Amy and I had been invited to train the flyball section which we jumped at - although Amy decided at the last minute she actually wanted to take part with Summer so my sister came to our rescue and agreed to help me out. During the day a whole host of activites take place, Gun dog, Good Cits, Agility, Obedience, Flyball and lots more. Summer & Smartie had a go at the Bronze good Cits unfortunately, with only 10 seconds to go in his sit Stay poor Smartie was distracted by people talking and got up to make sure Alice was ok!! appart from that he would have passed!! Summer was a good girl and passed. Diesel & Paul had a go at Silver and passed (Whoop Whoop) Summer also passed most of her obedience section appart from the sit stay where she went down (it was late in the afternoon) and Diesel passed his flyball section so it was a good day.
Sunday came and after Obedience and flyball training I met up with Clare to move the Agility equipment indoors - we had help from katheryn, Ian and Anne (thanks folks) so from tonight onwards training is indoors. After the move we went to get a sneak preveiw of Annes new boxer Puppy, Mitch and Tony allowed us to spend an hour happily playing with the whole litter in the garden as well as a very nice Gin & tonic!! - we all fell in love with the gorgeous Pups and can't wait to start the training... watch this space for more Bouncing Boxer pics.
