Little Gertie aka the Beastie: Grand National Vice-Champion💪🎉
Thank you British Agility for the great courses this weekend.
We started off with little blips in our runs then pulled ourselves together and after the combined results, finished in the top 8 dogs who goes through to the Grand National Final, where we finished second 💪🥰

We were trying to push for speed this weekend which is why we got a bit disconnected in the beginning but loved how she opened up by Sunday, it was a joy to run her ❤️

Had a lovely weekend, lots of laughs going out and our ‘traditional’ scone o’clock🤪
Seen some beautiful runs from our friends, well done all, especially getting into finals. 💪 and as a bonus we missed most of the fireworks at home 🐶❤️

I need to write about normal.

An increasing number of people are giving up their dogs because they can't cope. However this seems to be because they do not really have an idea of what "normal" is and have a rather fantasy idea of what a dog should be.

Dogs are not people, however much we love them and it is important that this is realised.

The following things are all normal and any new dog owner needs to understand this:-
Puppies do not come ready trained and it is down to the new owner to work hard for a couple of years to do that training.
Puppies (all breeds) bite - it hurts.
Puppies chew stuff up. If you leave it lying around it will get eaten.
Puppies take a while to get house trained. The owner has to stand shivering in the garden at bedtime until the results happen. This can last for months.
Puppies - and indeed dogs - need to sleep a lot and should be left alone whilst doing so. They are not toys to be constantly carried around and petted.
Brain training toys do not make up for positive interaction and training with their owner.
Dogs rarely need clothes and wearing them indoors (except possibly for very old dogs) will make skin problems more likely.
Dogs don't necessarily like other dogs. They squabble can growl at each other and even fight. This is normal.
Bi***es come in season and have phantom pregnancies. These are normal body functions and should not cause anxiety.
Dogs and bi***es hump each other and objects. Not socially acceptable to humans but perfectly norma.
Dogs do not do spiteful or dominance or deliberate naughty or lots of other emotions people put on them They live for the day and can't differentiate between your new shoes and their toys.
If you spend your money in soft beds they will explode. The dog does not care how much it cost.
If a dog is bored or anxious it will chew stuff - this includes your sofa if you are daft enough to leave him unattended with it.

Dogs need exercise, love and attention and lots of training. They don't always get it right. If you can't accept all these normal things about a dog, please don't get one as the numbers being given up for normal behaviour is heartbreaking.

We say this a lot...

Ball . throwers . are . not . good . for . your . dog!

They might be having a great time, but the wear and tear on their joints is no joke.

What is it doing to your dog's joints?
- Repeated micro-trauma to muscles and cartilage is a cause of long-term damage.
- Chasing or even carrying items like a ball can shift your dogs weight distribution to their front legs, putting excessive weight through the joints of the front legs.
- Joints weakened by arthritis will be especially prone to further damage.
- High speeds can double the forces generated in the muscles.
- Braking is thought to be the most dangerous part of ball chasing and often responsible for shoulder injuries.

What can you do instead?
- Make sure to have a short warm up period before more intense exercise.
- Only ever throw the ball a short distance, on surfaces that avoid slipping and sliding.
- Throw below waist height so as to avoid jumping and don't do it repetitively
- Consider alternatives like scent work, varying location of the walk to keep things exciting, or playing hide and seek with the ball rather than playing fetch.

Also received the invitation for the KC Large Agility Stake Quarter Final 💪💪💪

One of our better runs last weekend at IconiX Agility Shows . Suti my gorgeous oldie had a vestibular so I was focusing on her and not so much on agility.

Got a good placing amongst top handlers 💪🤪 Gertie pup was asking weave… where??? Oh yes, can see it now 🤣 and jump to dw had to be managed a bit so we get on it straight, not looking at the long jump then got the remote control out for the end🙈🤣

GERTIE puppy made the Championship FINAL today at Wyre. 🤩
This time last year at Wyre Gertie had her First GRADE 2 win and today- a year later- at the same show, she made her FIRST Champ Final at only 2.5 years old.
She is such an amazing girl to run 🥰even though most of the time you need earplugs 🙉🤣

This is our favourite champ run - her agility round, 3rd place 🥉 After the Aframe, I wanted to wrap but she disagreed 🙈so we lost a little time… the Beastie is keeping me on my toes 🤣🤣🤣

Many thanks for Hubby Gary for being an awesome support (getting up with me at 3am with hardly any sleep 🤪)

As always, huge thank you:
to my awesome trainers Natasha Wise, Dan Shaw and Ágnes Ács-Kövesi 😘😘😘

Karma Fitness Academy - it seems I need to do more sprinting 🏃‍♀️🤪🤣

SMART Specialist Veterinary Referrals for looking after my girls 😘😘😘
