Edge has just turned 15mths. And its so long to the super cute puppy that I had :-(
I really can't believe he's grown up already!! Into a very large, very cuddly gooey boy I might add :-D
He's loads of fun and I think the best thing about him is he doesn't take ANYTHING seriously. Everything is just one big party and I'm lucky enough to be celebrating with him ;-)
It's blowing my mind that he'll be able to compete in a couple of months.... do I think he'll be ready? Hmmm I'm not sure... I hope so :-D Even if it's just in jumping. THAT would be fun!
I love love love his dogwalk. I've worked super hard and even though I do still get jumping, I'm happy with how we're going :-)
I can't wait to see how he goes over the next couple of months as we start to do more things. I'm trying hard not to rush him with anything but sometimes I get a little excited :-D
Okay I admit it!! I've been SUPER slack with updating my blog, it's kind of taken a backseat as my life feels like it's rushing by and before I know it it'll be Christmas and another year is gone!
So here's a quick run down of the last few months...
The Grand Prix has come and gone. And it was everything I had hoped it would be :-) I'm not sure there is going to be another event that tops this one. No REALLY! I went in with high expectations just from the comments of others and it even blew those out of the water!!
The indoor venue was mind blowing, 3 rings all under the one roof! And they even managed to get rubber contacts in time for the main arena :-D The courses are HUGE easily 8m between alot of obsticles really allowing your dog power :-D Add in the relaxed atmosphere and competitive people that are just as happy for you to win as you are for them, and it makes this event what it is.
This was Liryk's first trip away and other than blowing me off when we went to pick them up at the airport in QLD, she took it all in her stride :-D One thing she wasn't happy with, was the metal stairs and elevator but by the end she was racing up and down with the rest of them. She absolutely LOVED event, by the end of the 4 days she was as high as a kite tugging and dragging me into the ring :-D
This was my favourite run of the whole weekend :-D
The week after we came back, I unfortunately had to put my 15 year old boy Jestah to sleep :-(
I'm sooooooo greatful that I had him for so long, especially when others haven't been so fortunate. And to know we did so many amazing things together and shared so many special moments it makes saying goodbye a little easier.
Jestah in his prime :-D
Liryk had her first attempt at Masters Jumping and came an awesome second!! Super proud of her efforts :-D
We fostered a baby German Shepherd puppy called Sir Walter for 2 wks, he was awffy cute!!!!
And to consume the rest of my the time...... Edge is now old enough to play with weavers, the aframe and a couple more jumps :-D Sorry no video of Edge but I'll put something together soon! I can't believe he'll be old enough to be measured next month and will be able to compete in 3mths! Not sure if his boy brain will be ready though, but he's loads of fun to play with :-P
