Rocky has retired from agility

It is official.  Rocky is retired from agility.  I had entered him for Akarana yesterday but after running him in Jumpers last Saturday and watching how he jumped carefully, had 2 jumps down and was over time, decided that he needs to retire now.  He has been a great agility dog.  My first senior dog and a lot of fun.  He hasn't had a clear round since October last year that has been in time.  We will continue to do flygility for as long as he is happy doing it.  He is slow in that too but loves it and the jumps are lower.
One of my favourite photos of Rocky

Rocky won his last Novice in April 2008 to get in to Senior.

Jemima Puddleduck

George has been lonely and wandering off to the neighbours to hang out with the wild ducks so we bought him a girlfriend.  They have been together for a whole day.
This photo was taken not long after we brought Jemima home.  She is 10 weeks old.  George has been alone since Mildred drowned in March this year.  I can't remember how old he is but he is the offspring of our first drake Campbell and duck, Katie.  Katie was a Cayuga and Campbell a Khaki Campbell.
