Lakeland Fun

Three days at home from Ireland and off to the Lakes for another 10 day agility break. The roller coaster I seem to be on continued its way:
Great weekend at Lune with our best result being Bryn's 7th in Grade 3 Agility. But when I arrived none of the electrics on the camper worked! After checking everything we decided it was an in-line fuse somewhere - but where? Luckily there was a caravan supplies shop on site, and they promised to look at it as soon as possible in the week, which turned out to be Tuesday.
And it was HOT!!!! Bryn decided that the canal was the only place to be and refused to come out (extended lead for him then!) Amber taught herself to swim properly, even diving under water for toys, but Corker wasn't going near the wet stuff - until I 'accidentally' pushed him in. Unfortunately he already had a slightly split nail on a front paw, and by the time he had scrambled out the nail was split from top to bottom. So, Wednesday was spent going to and from the vet in Kendal where he had the nail removed. Many thanks to Wendy Luty for acting as chauffeur and again on Saturday morning when he had to go back to have the bandage removed. But apologies to those who had planned to have their dogs measured at a session at Hest Bank as I couldn't get there because I was Corker-watching - he was very groggy after the op.
Thursday I helped to run the charity fund-raiser practice ring in the morning, and took the opportunity to try Bryn over the wishing-well, wall, brush fence - no problems. Over the weekend he met some of these again and sailed over them with confidence - good boy!
He had a few clears at the Barrow show (second weekend) but slow - 14th, 16th and two Clear Rounds. Some of his best - even astounding - work came on the courses where he was faulted - beautiful independent contacts and amazing weave entries. What a wonderful dog to own - his band of fans and admirers seems to grow at every show we go to; he's such a lovely lad.
Piles and piles of washing to do at home, and weeds that are huge to try to get rid of - then it will be Wirral!!
