Jilty Jade

Some really sad news, Jilty Jade went to sleep on the 20th March.

She was the best friend and companion to all of the family.
She was the one who started us out on this thing called agility, won her very 1st competion and had a second at the same show, Gleniffer away back in 1998.

Made it to senior in the old category and only need one win to get to advanced.
Think my handling was to blame for that one.

Hope she is running about over the rainbow bridge with Charlie, Mollie and her other friends.

Jodie and I are going to a fun agility show on Sat 03/03/12.
It is indoors and we have never been indoors before so how well will we go?
Also they have rubber contacts, never tried them before either so hope we have some fun and maybe good practice if we go to a show with them rubbery thingies.
Weather outside was pretty bad some snow and lots of rain.
Surface is like a peaty stuff with some woodchips through it, place was damp and all the stuff seemed to stick to Jodie like glue.
First Jumping run was an E, I cut the corner she came with me (my fault)
2nd run was quick also clear in around 22 secs which we came 5th. Large mediums and small in a combined class.
3rd run was agility she jumped off the dog walk and see saw so had the big E.
4th run was quick no rossies though, but we were the best small so Jodie won a squeaky toy.
When we came home the post had been and Agilitynet had sent us a 3rd place rossie for the Senior Agility League wow 2 rossies in one day.
