End of Term

Friday was Reno's last beginners session at NADTC. He now has to join a big boys class - How time flies, I hope my baby is ready!!!!
I'm pleased to say that his sores have completely gone and he is feeling a lot better. He'll be on Antibiotics for an other few days and his coat will take a long time to return to it's former glory but he is definitely on the mend.

Last weekend we went to two completely contrasting shows.

Saturdays was at a wet and windy Hargate (where we train with Jo Rhodes). As the courses were 1-7 we went thinking it would they would be a bit of a blast but when we got there it was clear that the courses were going to be tricky! Kiros finished 4th in Agility and 5th in Steeplechase.

We had a great day meeting new people but it has to be said that Sunday was even better catching up with old friends - both 2 and 4 legged!

Sundays show was at Newark, out first out door show of the year. Kiros's first run was early and, although clear, it was a bit half hearted and his mind seemed to be more on socialising then Agility. He was also clear in the combined 6/7 Agility but both runs were out of the placings.
Reno met up with Speedy (who loved him a bit to much! ) and his Daddy with Zippy. We couldn't find Speedy when we took the photo.

His Agility training is coming along nicely. Reno is getting a lot more confident about driving on over jumps and increasing the distance he works away from me. We've had a great couple of training sessions this weekend with Jo on Saturday focusing on his waits, which have deteriorated a little, and today with Lucy Osborne introducing drive between obstacles, which he responded to really well.

We are off to Norfolk on Friday morning for a weeks holiday. We normally go for the Agility Show in July but as they have moved it to June this year we thought we'd go for the Easter show. Unfortunately there aren't any Grade 6 classes scheduled so Kiros will have to run Anysize Jumping. I'm not sure how he will take to the lower jumps!!!

As usual we are staying at "The Limes" so I'm looking forward to seeing Gill again and having a chance to do a bit of sight seeing.
