What! Another competition

and so quickly moving on from my sick spell (M had her fingers crossed that I would be feeling better) on Sunday we did the longish drive over to Newcastle again to Cleverpawz.

M had decided she was going to enter me in all four classes again today but sadly we were on our own as A is very busy on her farm and has competitions later in the month, therefore no photos...

M knew I was trying my best to be good but I still couldn't hold my excitement in, and so the first 2 classes were written off (I had M guessing as to whether I would get eliminated in the second, she thought not but I did)

Thankfully I pulled myself together and M put her strict stance on (so I knew she meant business) and we came away with another 4th and a 9th in the 2 jumping classes.

Everyone at training is very pleased that I am making progress, and so is M!!

Heres a couple of courses from the competition:

The first is an agility course graded 1-7 which means although everyone runs the same course prizes are awarded within your grading (i'm still in grade 1)
This had a dog walk, a tunnel and the A-frame in it.

The second is an agility course combined 1-7 which means everyone runs the same course prizes are awarded irrespective of grade. So you have to hope that the higher graded dogs assume they know what they're doing and go wrong. ;-)
This had a see-saw, a tunnel, a 6 pole weave and the A-frame in it.

Oooo Sicky puppy

Thursday I was sick!

Yep, M & D woke to find the whole kitchen covered in the yucky stuff, me having thrown up over night all over the place.

So D decided to try and feed me a bit of breakfast which of course I wolfed down as usual - I was hungry!!

M was still off work so when I hadnt thrown up 2 hrs later she gave me a bit more, which was lovely....

An hour later and I was still keeping it down so M feed me a bit more at which point it all came back up - M was very happy that I managed to do that outside though - what a good puppy I am.

That was it M said, no more food, but she did put a bit of milk in my bowl of water so that i would drink a fair bit.

I then spent the rest of the day lying on M or as close as she would allow - she even sat on the floor so I could snuggle in closer..... I was not feeling good.

but you'll be pleased to know I was fine on Friday!!!

M thinks I might have found a stray bit of wallpaper paste to lick up (she's been decorating again apparently)

Excitement continues

No-one told me but we were having visitors to stay over the weekend!

I was sooooooo excited when they arrived cause I do like visitors.. Friday night the arrived and M made me sit and wait while they got in the door - hahaha you should of heard my tail going 10 to the dozen.

I got lots of fuss but then they all sat down and started chatting so I had a quick kip. It was M's parents who were staying - they're not really dog people but they like me!!

Saturday even D was at home and when I got woken up M's parents were still there. They had an action packed morning - not sure what M & D and her dad were doing as they were upstairs most of the morning but they kept coming down stairs to paste paper or something - anyway M's mum kept me company - throwing my toys and she was cooking something that smelled lovely...Mmmm

In the afternoon I showed off my weaving skills and had a play in the garden although it was a bit chilly.

Sunday we all went to meet up with D's parents and have a ball with Wispa and I even got a bone - a proper one!
