Keep of the grass

The rain has continued on and off this week and I have finally worked out why the boss had this fence put up. Its to keep us off the grass when its wet so we/I cannot run mud all over the house and the furniture.



Now that doesn't seem fair to me ...

Lighting Strikes Flyball

Another flyball weekend. We are now racing with a brand new club called Lightning Strikes, long story apparently. They were racing at the Chilterns Show on both Saturday & Sunday. The weather was very odd, one minute raining and the next sunny!

This is Dare decked out in his new uniform. He was doing run backs in the ring before the races this weekend with one of the teams. He is still a starters dog but this will give him some real experience of the ring and the crowd.



Breeze & Chips team is called Grease Lightning sounds like a really cool name.

Rain

Well as forecast its chucking it down with rain here today. We had loads of thunder and lightning last night as well.

Its not much fun with so much rain. Paws crossed it gets better soon.

Where has Summer gone?

After a great start summer seems to have fizzled out. Its been rainy and not very sunny so far this week and its forecast to rain for the weekend.

The Boss has been moaning about it but actually I prefer the weather to be a bit cooler.

Flower Power

Dare has a odd habit of nibbling the flowers and grass around the garden. I am not sure if he prefers the taste of the grass or the flowers.

This is him having a nibble on the Lobelia today.



The boss says this is quite normal for dogs. I think I prefer my dog food.

Chip & me playing

Me and Chip like to play. This is a Youtube video of us having a game in the garden chasing the ball.



Chip is a Patterdale Terrier but as you can see I am teaching him to be an English Shepherd.

Wimbledon demo

We went to Wimbledon Common today to help out with a flyball demonstration. Well Auntie Breeze was helping out but I went along to watch.

This is them getting ready to race, Auntie Breeze is the dog on the end. It was quite nice weather today blue sky and a bit of sun shine.



This is me and Auntie Breeze enjoying the Hog Roast rolls after the demo, they were very tasty...

A go at Flyball

I had a go at flyball training today. I only chased a ball, no box work as I am to young.

I did find the other dogs really interesting and I was in two minds if I should chase them or the ball. Apparently I am a stroppy teenager at the moment...

This is me staring at our cat Tabby, she is really, really interesting. If flyball involved chasing cats I would be a world champion.

Tired Thursday

Had my weekly obedience lesason again today. As you can see its tired me right out. Loads and loads of work, I was glad to get back home.

Must get some more beauty sleep...

Mad Mutts

We were at the MadMutts flyball tournament today at Millets Farm in Oxfordshire. More lovely sunny weather.

Chip and Auntie Breezes team won there division which was exciting to watch.

This is a Youtube video of one of the races, , there is a false start and the beginning of the clip. Auntie Breeze is the second dog to race in the main race. Chip is the very small last dog.

Happy 3rd July ?

We had a barbecue tonight because it was a lovely sunny day here in London.

But I have a question, I have heard that its American Independence day today. My Mum and Dad are American but I am one of the first 'English' English Shepherds. Now should I celebrate it as well ?

This is me and Chip watching the food being cooked on the barbecue.



We did get some food in the end as well !
