Six go mad in Norfolk........


We've just come back from a lovely holiday in Norfolk.

The Agility show was on Saturday and Sunday.  The weather was very mixed - sunshine, showers, wind and hail!!  Indi and Harley both ran well but unfortunately didn't come home with any rosettes.  Kiros didn't really understand the point of Anysize jumping and wasn't running at full speed but still managed a 4th and 5th in his two runs.  He seemed quite stiff after the show.  I'm hoping it was just the cold weather.

On Monday we took the dogs to the beach at Sea Palling for Reno's 1st experience of the Sea.  It was still quite cold and threatening rain so the only people on th beach were dog walkers.
The dogs had a great time playing and posing.

We visited Wells-next-to-the-Sea on Tuesday.  This walk wasn't quite as exciting as by now the weather had started to get quite warm and the beach was full of families so the dogs had to be on their leads most of the time.

Because of this we decided to stay closer to "home" on Wednesday and spent a few hours walking along the river bank in Coltishall.

Kiros totally refuses to swim in anything other then a heated swimming pool even if a stick is amost within reach.  I'm sure Reno wanted to swim in after it but Kiros wouldn't let him!!

Of course there were plenty of posing opportunities along the way.
Back to Nottingham again on Thursday and then Scuthorpe Agility on Saturday.  I was a little worried about Kiros running after the weekend before but he seemed ok. Infact he did a lot better then I did so we didn't get any clears!  Harley and Ann, on the other hand, worked really well with two clears and a 4th place in Grade 5 Agility.

Kiros has had an excellent training session at NADTC with Jo today.  He cope well but was flagging a bit at the end.  Reno is back to Jo's puppy class tomorrow.  I'm really looking forward to it.
