First Agility Competition

Maverick here...

Just thought I'd tell you about my first agility competition staying away with M and Cadbury in the new camper...

It was great fun - I really enjoyed myself even though I wasn't allowed to do any agility. Apparently I'm too young to have a go as I'm still growing (lots) so I could damage my joints if I did!

We were supposed to go away on Friday night so when M got home from work she was dashing around the house - trying not to trip over us pair (we were getting excited as we knew something was happening)

Cadbury tried to explain that I wasn't going but M put my crate in the van so that was that I was going!! haha!!

Cadbury got the upper hand though as he was allowed to ride up front with M :-(

Anyway the van had made a few strange noises so M decided to wait till D got back from work to check it - which ended up really late so instead of heading off on Friday we went early Saturday morning.... yawn!

It took us a little while to get there but I slept most of the way but when we got there M setup the garden and all the gear before letting us out.. I desperate to go and investigate by then so off we went.. It was great 2 big fields for us to run and explore, with lots of poo in them.. Cadbury got really told off for eating it so I decided I'd just carry it around instead.

The weekend was spent either relaxing in the van sometimes with, sometimes without M and Cadbury, playing in the field and wandering round watching the other dogs do agility.

Cadbury was a good boy as well after he'd calmed down in his first run when he ran out the ring to something more interesting... he ended up with a 2nd, 5th and 6th place and M said she made more mistakes than Cadbury did so when it came to tidying up on Sunday evening M was still in high spirits but was glad when we all got home and collapsed in our beds snoring (M included although she probably wasn't snoring)

Bad boy

After a good weekend, m & d decided to see if i could be trusted out of my crate at night....

They were really pleased with me as I had no accidents the first night however this is what they woke up to this mornin...

Yep you guessed it, I ripped up the kitchen floor overnight!! Don't think M & D are pleased with me this morning......

Firsts

I'm afraid this is not a post from Cadbury about a 1st place or anything like that...

Its a post from me, Maverick about my First camping trip...

M & D packed the car full of stuff and put me and Cadbury in the back seat then we made the really looooong journey to see M's parents. I wasn't in my crate so had to be a good boy and not chew anything.

We got to the parent's and we were allowed to go in and say hello - I had be told to be on my best behaviour otherwise I would have to go back in the car. So, I had a quick sniff around and said hello to both of them and settled down for a snooze.

M & D had some food which smelled wonderful and swapped a few things from our car and then it was back in the car for a bit further...

M & D got out and let us have a quick investigate of the campsite - there were loads of people and other dogs... then it was back in the car while they put the tent up... Apparently Cadbury always gets in the way by standing on the tent while they try and put it up - that's sounds a grand game.

Here we are all settled in the tent..

M & D were really pleased with me this weekend for being such a good boy... we even managed some gundog training, and I always brought the dummy back!!

D's going to take me to some proper gundog training next weekend so I'll update you after that..

V.E.T etc

Maverick here....

I've been to the V.E.T again... this time M & D wouldn't give me breakfast first and left me there on my own - humph!!

The vet did nasty things to me but thankfully they made me all sleepy first!

M came and picked me up later the same day, I was sooo excited I almost wagged my tail off!! M said I had been a very good boy and finally gave me some food!!  I itch a bit down there at the minute and all the boy doggies keep coming over for lots of sniffs but that's fine cause that means I can play!!

M & D have got to keep me on my lead till the weekend to make sure my wound heals and then its all back to normal they say and the VET has checked and I'm healing nicely... although she told D that I'd been a bit of a baby with the injections... well, I just wanted a snuggle, cause I'm adorable!


Cadbury here... right my turn... another weekend, another competition..
2nd, 3rd and 6th places...
