AN Summer Show 1

On Saturday 16th May just gone, Earl and I ventured out to yet another brilliant agility show. This time, it was the first Agility Nuts show of the summer series 2015, in our new level (and the highest level in the whole of AN), Senior. Earl did well, and got a clear 6th place, and an additional clear round. There are some amazingly speedy dogs in our new league level, and we were competing with around 25 or so other dogs. He was a good lad.

He especially enjoyed it when the people running the food stand cut his sausage up just for him, as a reward when he ran his courses! He loved his sausage; he always does love some sausage. Here he is; his cares going more towards thinking about that sausage than his rosettes! No surprise, bless him.

Mmmmm. Yum yum. Nom nom nom. Sausages.

And although, on another run, he jumped his A-Frame contact, he was absolutely in the zone! It was a lovely flowing run, and it was the home run where he made the fatal leap. However, the expression on his face as he powered down the frame was priceless, and it made me smile and laugh out loud! He never ceases to make me smile, whatever happens! To see him happy and having fun, comfortable in the ring is a good achievement to me. We love the whole experience.
