Full On

Man, we’ve been so busy this month. We had the Wallumbilla Show on the 5th, then we competed at the Gympie Show on the 17th and 18th. The dogs all did great, and we got 10 ribbons – including Chantel and Freya’s second in Best Child Handler, and Sparkie getting first in both Tricks and Agility. Sparkie hadn’t won a first in Agility since 2009 and she hadn’t won a first in Tricks since 2010. So it was great to get both those ranks again! Sparkie also got second in the High Jump at 6 and a half feet, while Tess and Lassie ranked third at 6 feet.

Then on the 19th we drove up to the RSPCA to perform at the Million Paws Walk. Everyone was really nice and we got so many positive comments about our routines!

On Sunday we’re going to the Goomeri Pumpkin Festival. It’ll be neat to go back to the place it all started back in 2011! And after that we’re heading out west for the Winton Show on June 8-9. Good times!

Wallumbilla Show 2013

The Wallumbilla Show this year was pretty much the same as last year – only we were performing on the back of a truck kindly loaned to us by one of the show organisers. This worked out good coz the fencing we ordered hadn’t arrived yet so we were wondering how in the Pegasus Galaxy we were going to sort out an area! Some of the dogs were a little hesitant doing tricks on the stage but it went pretty good. I think next year we’ll stick to the ground though! We had to compete with the dodgem cars’ music again, and we realized that we still need bigger and better speakers if we’re gonna stand a chance next year!

 

We met one of Lassie’s puppies, “Ollie,” at the park on Wednesday. Man, he’s gotten so big and he’s beautiful!

When our fencing arrives, hopefully on Tuesday, we’ll start heading to Gympie for the Gympie Show and the Million Paws Walk.
