Already??!! Well, I guess it doesn’t help that for the last four days of December and the first four days of January I was in bed sick. I’ve recovered now, but our Christmas routines had already been cancelled due to a bad round of colds and planned for New Year’s Day. And because both me and Jessica were sick in bed at that time, it means that our “Christmas” routines have now become “Australia Day” routines.
So, plans for 2013? Three different shows in May, as well as the Gympie Show. You’ll know when it’s official when it goes up on the team website. The Gympie Show won’t be up there, though, because it’s a competition not a performance. But our attendance there is already pretty much set in concrete – for me and Sparkie, this will be our fifth year in a row competing there. And Tess’s fourth and Lassie’s third.
Training the team is going good. Our current neighbours have two Chihuahuas, which they brought over to watch rehearsals last night on our request. According to the Gympie Times, at the 2012 Million Paws Walk in Gympie there were around 50 dogs and 100 people. We’re obviously not going to get that amount watching our rehearsals, but we’ll try to get as many as we can, to get the team used to performing around other dogs! The Chihuahuas didn’t faze them at all – not even nervous little Lassie. So it’s looking good and we’re all looking forward to May!
