SKC

Of to SKC on the Sunday means an early start again, doing a pairs with an unknown medium dog wonder if they know that agility is fun for me. Lets hope the weather is good, not like KOF.
Well weather was iffy, cold a bit windy and some drizzle.
Met my pairs partner, who was the best looking dog at the show, a very handsome Sheltie called Moto.
My 1st run came to grief at the 1st fence, Jodie knocked it down, my pairs partner must have said what a numpty.
2nd run was much better but we still had 10 faults, so still in grade 3 and not likely to get out of it as well.
Well on to the pairs, I thought Jodie ran well, we were clear I went for the baton for the changeover, and Jodie shot over the first fence again so we got the big E before Moto even started. Next time I will just grab Jodie and the baton at the same time when we finish.
Moto must have thought I have a real numpty as a partner, think he will be looking for a new partner next year, I enjoyed the show and meeting Mark and Sam who travelled a long way to get to SKC probably a 1,000 mile round trip.

KOF show

Had a very good time at the show on the Sat, just started to rain after we had finished.
Had 5 faults in Linda Park ring, had a clear and a 3 rd in Aline combined agility also a clear and a 1st place in Adelle jumping graded.
Rained all night and at 06.30 decided the conditions were too wet for doing agility and went home like a drookit rat. Some parts of the road home were flooded.
Hope all the other competitors got safely out of the field at the end of the day
