It was good fun, Queani ran better than expected and scored an 80-something. Muddy did most of my demos, and was surprisingly good- he loved the heavy doughy sheep and backing up and down ramps. He did hesitate to jump here and there (his hip or knee?), but was otherwise good. R ran Bella and Charlie (subbing for Fred, out with his cruciate), and both handled the show atmosphere. We’re already missing Bella heaps, now she’s off enjoying new adventures with Nan Lloyd.
Next year, I swear, with no competing dogs, we’ll take a whole day and just enjoy the show…
