Edge has just turned 11wks and from the moment I picked him up, he's made me laugh!
He's just so happy and crazy about EVERYTHING!
All training with Liryk has pretty much gone out the window (which I had an incling it might!) And it's been replaced with me sitting on my butt and watching them all play and just getting up to mischief! Hole's that had once been filled in from Liryk's puppyhood have again become craters, magazines can no longer be safely left on the coffee table :-P And contact equipment has found a new purpose....... satisfying a teething puppy!
All in all he's JUST a sweetheart! We had to do some emergency "crate games" when he first arrived. He was somewhat traumatised by the lack of service on his flight (no movies OR lunch!) and after sitting in his crate for almost 13hrs, SERIOUSLY did not want to EVER go back in there AGAIN! Thankfully he now happily goes in there for meals and will even voluntarily go and sleep in there PHEW!!
I'm so glad he's come to be part of our family...... the next issue at hand is...... how to fit all the dogs in my car!
Liryk gained her VERY FIRST passes today :-D Three just to make it even MORE exciting! and I'm sooooooooo over the moon I couldn't even wait to make a proper wee movie or put it to music LOL.
Two first places in the agility and a fourth in the jumping.
I'm EXTREMELY proud of how well she did! Some of her Aframes were a little high, but I'm not worried. It must be hard for her to work out her striding when she trains on an ANKC aframe that is lower and the ADAA one is quite a bit higher. I'm sure she'll figure it out though :-)
The only "coulda shouda woulda" moment I've tossed around in my head is her fourth place, where she did a bit of a wide turn. There was only a second between first and fourth and I did have the thought..... ooooh I wonder what would have happened if she hadn't been quite so wide :-P The other bummer is that, that run won't bloody download! DOH!
All of the courses all weekend were just AWESOME to run, it's soooooooooo refreshing to let your young dog blast her way around a course and you as a handler having to run FLAT OUT! It was GREAT!
Epic was a superstar too! Winning a medallion stakes round :-D
Can't wait for next weekend when it'll be Liryk's first ANKC trial :-)
