Friday Afternoon we set off to the Young Kennel Club run Activity weekend at Newark, I had been asked to train the Obedience but when we got there the Flyball trainer had broken down on the way so they asked me to step in. After setting up Camp we devoured a KFC and settled the dogs for the night. The following morning we were up early to walk the dogs, and set up the flyball ring, I had collected Paul and Diesel on the way and Kathryn and Ian had met us there, deciding to borrow a friends horsebox rather than sleeping in a tent in Novembrrrr Alice came up on Saturday morning with Smartie so everyone was anxious to get down to some training.
With Handling, heelwork to music, obedience, Agility and Flyball to choose from everyone had a great time. On saturday night there was a games night organised, we all played musical chairs, simon says and many more silly games before we braved the wind and rain back at the caravans. The weather during the night was awful, i was up 3 times to make sure the dogs were still dry in the awning, and each time was met by sleepy eye's and warm dogs. Sunday was competition day, Kathryn had entered her first ever handling class with boxer Diesel, they held their own in a very good class and although not placed on this occasion they put on a really good show. Paul, Amy and Alice were entered into the flyball competition and put up a very gallant fight coming 2nd and qualifying for Crufts 2009 and finally Amy had agreed to enter Ben and Maisy into the advanced obedience just to make up numbers, poor Ben was dragged out of retirement and went on to win the class!.. what a star. Packing up on Sunday afternoon in driving rain was a chore, but Amy had collected a Maccy D's for everyone to keep us going, it was a quiet journey home and an early night.
