I'm really pleased with how the Boy Wonder (Bryn) is working in training. Both last night and tonight I pushed the boundaries with him - asked for increased speed, faster contacts, more difficult weave entries, greater distance from me when working away, trickier close work - all with great degrees of success. He really is a joy to work!
Took Amber to the physiotherapist before Bryn and I went training, and as I suspected, her hips/pelvis were causing problems for her, probably originating in a deterioration in the movement of her 'dodgy' left hock. The physio thinks this will recur from time to time, but that she will be okay for agility. She also thinks that Amber will exhibit lameness if it becomes a real problem for her - she doesn't show any signs of lameness at present. So, she's on gentle exercise for the next 3 days, then a return to normal exercise. All training is suspended over the Christmas/New year period, which will be to her advantage at present.
Corker continues to play 'Lord of the Manor', trying hard to be the boss of the house but failing hopelessly whenever someone tickles his ears! He takes his job of guardian of the house and car so very seriously - but doesn't really know quite what constitutes a threat. He's a big wuzz!
