Our Visit to the vet

Yesterday we went to see the vet for our annual jab. KT knows what happens at the vet now. As soon as I stopped the car and pressed the button to open the boot - she barked - as if to say: "No, not here" She doesn't drag her heels to go in the vets, as Sheba used to do, but it's quite funny seeing her legs collapse under her - she seems to forget how to walk! Inside the surgery she shakes, she's definitely not a happy bunny. I wonder what she thinks?

Saturday we went to an agility event near Newbury - Wallingford. Weird how KT seems to like going to a competition event. We went for our first run - and she stormed out of the blocks, catching me totally by surprise. She flew out of the weaves, missing the last one, and wasn't too happy when I made her do it again. We were disqualified. On the next run we had a few jumps down - KT was much faster than I expected.

The main reason we went to Wallingford was to take part in a team event. First time we did it, great fun it was, apart from me falling on my knees! Our team had two gun dogs and two collies. I think both the gun dogs, Tia and KT made a "small fault" during their runs, and the two collies were E'd!

Irish Setter gets a first place at an Agility Event

Unbelievable, incredible, I wouldn't have believed it if someone told me. Today KT got her very first, first place rosette. Week before last we were trying for a clear round, and managed on our last run of the day. I remember saying that next we were going to come first, and get a first place cup. Little did I know that it would come true.

It wasn't an agility course, which was a pity. It was a snooker course - quite tricky it seems, but KT and I decided what we were going to do, we stuck to our guns, and 1ST PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we just need a few more points and we go out of beginners!

PS we did get another clear round today, thought I better mention it before I forgot - I can't remember if it was the steeplechase or jumping event. Today was a UKAgility event.
