After the Pups







We are beginning to get back to some semblence of normality now that four pups have gone. We still have Fizz who is going to her new family this weekend after their holiday. We will miss her and I'm sure Luca will too. They have become very close being just the two of them. But they have also had the usual sibling rivalry requiring separation till they have settled down. But they have been such fun and responing quite nicely to their names, sitting for food, not biting too hard etc, etc. However, and it seems all the pups are the same, they dig, they dig and they dig. Betsie's breeder warned us of this as most of her pups go to search and rescue because they are such good diggers. Soon the minds will be switched to other things especially when Fizz goes.



Betsie is now back on the agility circuiot and doing quite nicely. Bringing her in softly, softly as she does need a bit of building up of her back muscles. She is very keen to get back into it and that is the main thing. At Derby, her first outing, in the Large gd 1 - 7 jumping in three parts, Del came second in one part, Kizzie, second in another part and Betsie 19th in the third part. So I was real chuffed considering she was just out to get used to the comp again. She got two third places at Agility Addicts last weekend and has picked up a bit at training this week. So, I am looking forward to the comp. at the KCI at Peterborough this coming weekend.
