Agility

It was our show this weekend and I was helping out as Show manager.  Shilo had some lovely runs this weekend which shows she is improving all the time.  We came 11th in Starters 1 and got a lovely North Shore ribbon for the effort.  I was pleased with her novice run as she got all her contacts and her only fault was the last jump down.  Not bad for no training.  Rocky had a good run in Senior but was D'd when he went to go through the tunnel.  I was pleased as he didn't knock any jumps down.  It was terribly hot so we were all exhausted at the end of the day.

Sunday was at Orewa and Shilo really went clear in both starters but due to an interpretation error by the judge we were given 5 faults in one of the runs.  As the judge was consistent and couldn't remember who was affected the faults had to stay.  I was alright about it since it won't happen again.  The tide came in at about 1pm and I gave the dogs a swim.  Rocky really enjoyed that as he was very hot in his big coat.  Another hot, tiring day so pleased Monday was my day off.  So looking forward to my holiday starting next week.

RSA

We went to the RSA for dinner tonight.  Stuart is suffering from cabin fever so it was good to have a trip out.  My car went to West City Holden today to have some work done to get it's warrant of fitness.  It has been an expensive exercise at a time when we can least afford it.

The kitties are growing up far too quickly.  Chloe and Jake were both resting with Stuart this afternoon.  It was so cute.  Kathleen cam for her pullets and managed to cuddle Jake.  Chloe was elusive so she could only look at her.  Shilo had a great time playing in the duck bath and came out a horrible brown and black colour.  She had a great time.  I hate to think how she will go at agility tomorrow as we haven't had time to train.

Ethan had his operation yesterday and is doing well.  I went and sat with Heather after work as he was pretty groggy and she had a long night ahead of her.  One more week and I am on holiday.  I can't wait.

The temperature dropped today but the humidity is still high.  May get a decent sleep tonight.
