Day's Out

Cadbury and Maverick here today...

On Saturday M & D got all our usual doggy stuff together and put it in the car along with Cadbury... M then setup my pen in the kitchen and filled it with loads of fun stuff and my stuffed Kong, and a bone!!

I was left alone!!! All day!!
M & D were VERY pleased with me though cause I was a good boy and didn't chew or destroy anything.. I even left all the plants alone in the garden!!

Cadbury however was out at a country fair, meeting all the lovely doggies and enjoying a couple of goes at the Gundog Scurry.
The scurry is a timed event spilt into 2 categories of Novice and Open.
Cadbury did the novice one which was a seen dummy retrieve over a small fence.
D ran him first and he did a fast time of 17 secs - M & D were quite impressed
M then ran him but unfortunately he got distracted by the rifle shooting in the next arena so it was a 27 sec run.

The winner managed an 11 sec run...

On Sunday M & D packed all the doggy stuff in the car but put Maverick in the car, it was my turn to stay at home... but I got a stuffed kong so I was happy.

Maverick went out to the country fair and spent most of the day being introduced to dogs of all shapes and sizes - he had a whale of a time...
M & D decided that he was old enough to have a go at the Gundog Scurry they knew he wouldn't be very good as they've not done any training yet apart from simple dummy retrieves.
M decided to go first and set him up so he was looking for the dummy when the gun went off... she told Maverick to go and off he went at some speed but when he reached the fence he didn't know what to do so M had to go and help him over the fence. Once he found the dummy he jumped back over the fence and brought the dummy back to M with a little detour to see a couple of doggy friends, but M was happy that he was enjoying himself.
D had a go next but unfortunately the gun went off before they were ready so when D asked Maverick to go find it - he wasn't sure what he was finding... silly boy!
D ran all the way to the dummy with him but then he was fine returning. They were both 1 min times but it was a good introduction.

Maverick was VERY TIRED when he got home on Sunday evening...

M has some video of the runs but we haven't managed to nick the camera from her yet, so we'll post these later.
