Ok well where do I start? I casually decided to miss writing up on Rugby as it was embarrassing how badly I did. Anyone who watched my runs must of been thinking 'how the hell did they make it to grade 6?!' There are two answers to that... 1) because literally any tom dick n harry can get to grade 6 these days, so Pie didn't look too out of place, amongst the other dogs that really shouldn't be in grade 6. And 2) because it was fluke!! haha! But no my bad handling and P being an idiot we didn't have a successful weekend!! Pie decided to self-release on literally EVERY contact. URGH!!
Anyway, onwards and upwards. After getting a new job and not training for nearly 2 weeks... oops... our next show was the agility club. My Aunt had planned to pick me up at 6.35ish as she wanted to get to Newbury at 7 as she was doing the ringside refreshments. I worked till 12.30 on Friday, and after having a shower, packing and things i didn't get to bed till after 1.30... and slept through my alarm!! Mega panic!! Mum kindly got out of bed and drove me to Newbury and so I ended up getting to Laura's (as she kindly offered for me to camp with her) at about 8. Missed walking the Pedigree team and Grade 6 Jumping. Laura had walked my jumping and told me how it was, and i went to have a look to try and remember it!!! Well considering I hadn't walked either the team or the jumping.... i think i did pretty well as i got clear in both!!! And also won the grade 6 jumping by a second, even with really wide turns on the top off-set snakey thingy. I hope you all know what i mean by that ;) So we've finally got the first win towards grade 7 :)
I won't go into deep about every run because to be honest it is very boring... apart from his contacts were fab... apart from a couple, where i tested for him to come off, which he did, so i popped him back on.
Also.... my team qualified for Crufts on the Sunday, being the only team to have 4 clears so we're off to Crufts 2010 in March. Woo!!
Just want to say a few well dones too.... For Laura getting a 3rd with Phoebe in 4-6 Medium Jumping i think it was... Tasha Wise and Maddie won the Large Ticket on Saturday too. Fantastic result as Maddie is nearly 11. Also well done to John Cook and Mac who won the KC Novice Olympia Agility... so pleased for them :)
All Pie's runs are below apart from my pairs run with Virginia Harry with Robert. We both had cracking runs but Rob had the first pole down and Pie was clear. There are also some other videos from the weekend on my page too. I don't know what happened this weekend for me to get so much out of running Pie but I really like it!!! No more shows booked for me at the moment though... I'm waiting for Laura to tell me what to enter!! ha ha.
