Well we were off to East Lothian for the weekend. I was really looking forward to it. We were meeting up with Lian, Sonic & Sizzle (Ellie's brother) who were staying at the same hotel. Rhoda & Matthew who have Bracken, Brodie & Brooke were also up. I was so looking forward to meeting up with them all again and of course all the Shelties! Mum, my friend Clare her mum and myself arrived on the Friday evening and met up with Lian. Poor Lian was shattered after her long drive, so early bed for Lian. We sat up a wee bit later and had a chat in our room before heading to bed. Well......what a night I couldn't sleep, still wide awake a 3am! between the rain thundering down, my mum snoring aaarrggghhh and a drip coming from somewhere I was lucky if I had 2 hours. My alarm went off at 6.30am got up changed, dogs fed and then just as mum was getting up my alarm had went off at 5.30am! aarrggghhhhhh! back to bed! I was shattered when I got up! I was so tired and grumpy on Saturday, I didn't really enjoy the day. The weather was lovely, sunshine and blue skies, great to have a t-shirt on! Then at 3pm just as we were sitting to watch the Champ class final, the heavens opened the thunder rolled! By the time I got back to the car the dogs and I were soaked and I had to change myself as I was soaked through! Not a good day! Khandi had a clear in G6 agility, which she got 2nd place (video below) and an elimination in G6 agility, decided not to run the last class as the weather was awful! This was a nice flowing course, a slalem & pull throughs though! I was pleased with Khandi's run, she got 2nd place in this one.
We headed back to the hotel, got all the wet clothes out for drying and chilled for a wee while. We met Lian, Rhoda & Matthew for dinner in the hotel, which was lovely. It was nice to sit and chat as at agility you are darting about and at times don't really get a chance to just relax and have a nice conversation. Thank you Lian, Rhoda & Matthew for a lovely, relaxed and pleasant evening. I was planning to take the dogs to the beach afterwards, however the rain followed us, so a quiet evening. On Sunday I had a nice sleep, except my alarm went off at 5.30am again! I had no alarm set for that time! Back to sleep and up at 6.40am. We moved rooms due to the drip, I'm glad as it rained most of the night. We headed to the show, first run was G6 agility, a very different and unsual course, however it is nice to get a challenge and something different. Khandi did get eliminated at the weaves again! She is being a madam at the weaves just now! Then we had G6 jumping, eliminated again at the weaves! Last run was at about 2.30pm, well this was a "dizzy" course (video below). I had a great day today, really enjoyed it! This was a "dizzy" course! Khandi did well in this. I decided between jump 10 & 11 I would block the jump rather than layer (stay on the other side from Khandi & push her past) the wee diva nipped in behind me, so we were eliminated.
Looking forward to seeing the pictures Lian took of Ellie & Sizzle & Ellie, Sizzle & Brodie (visit The Knights Shelties to see them, I'm sure Lian will put some up) We got home for about 4pm, which is great!
