New Year

Welcome 2016

And the first post I have to write is an apology!! We're a month into the new year already and this is the first post... shock horror how bad are we!!

Well January was fun filled although the weather has been awful over here in the UK. We may not have had the snow that our US counterparts have had but the wind and rain have taken their toll!

So what have we been up to? well the first weekend in January saw us at a very local agility show (yes both of us) Maverick was still jumping at a lower height but he was jumping and his concentration was much better... I was jumping at full height and managing some speedier times and some tricky courses - M was really pleased with my 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th

Maverick then went with M to another show on his own and finally managed a show jumping full height - unfortunately with the higher jumps Mavericks concentration really took a beating and the dogs outside the ring became more interesting than M in the ring... M says he's a work in progress... shes going to spend the next few weeks making herself **REALLY** interesting!

I managed to pick up a little infection so went on another trip to the V.E.T and normally I'm not bothered by the vet infact I quite like it but I wasnt myself and couldnt help but shake until the nice V.E.T gave me several treats *wink wink*  Thankfully M thinks my ears are much better and that the change in food has made all the difference.. turns out I have an allergy to a dust mites which lives in food dust from the kibble...

With so much wet and windy weather we've not really done a lot, we have managed to train each week but unlike most weekends when enjoy being out playing we've been cooped up.. however M got some exercise things for us for christmas so we've been trying them out... I'm sure she'll take some photos eventually and let you all see.. They include a balance board, some homemade paw pods and a donut (unfortunately not one you can eat)

I'll try not to leave it as long before the next post - woofs

Bring on Christmas

So, with Christmas around the corner M had her christmas obedience party, and decided to take Maverick (humph!)

It was going to be BIG as there are now 20 dogs taking classes with the obedience group...

We had party games, fancy dress, presentations of awards and even a visit from santa for the pawsome doggies..

Here's maverick in his prize winning outfit...






Maverick has also now completed his final agility competition of 2015 and even though he travelled with L and Willow again this time his performance was not good....
He had some really nice bits but due to the weather it was difficult to go out for exercise and he's really turned off to weaves... more practise over the holidays M thinks!!


 This lovely weather turned into 4-5 inches of snow and with no snowploughs or gritters anywhere to be seen a 1 3/4 hr journey took 4 hours to get home.... roll on January!!

Competitions

Well I don't know where the last couple of months have gone, they have flown by and M says we are nearly at Christmas...

We are both still competing and M was very proud of Maverick who managed to complete his first full competition without any eliminations..

Here is a video of his first clear, thanks to L and Willow (M thinks Willow is a calming influence as we car shared to the competition this time)


I however have been even better last weekend I competed just for one day as it was a busy weekend and out of my four runs I managed four 1st!

M was ecstatic and especially so when she realised that I'd won out of grade 2 to grade 3!! (unfortunately that does mean that Maverick is also grade 3)


Maverick has one more competition before Christmas and then its onto the New Year....
