Sheltie Show

So we had our first show of the year over the weekend at sheltie show! It was lots of fun, with some very nice people and LOTS of shelties. With the winter we've had with Rommys injury I wasnt even sure we would make it to there so I was just amazingly pleased just to go and get to run! We only started jumping him on Medium height for the first time 5 days before the show as I wanted to bring him back reasonably slowly, but Rommy being Rommy it wasnt a problem at all and he was looking even better than he did before all his problems. So off we went to sheltie show, this is a picture before the show... he was already tired...

And this was him and his funny tired face after...

So what happened between these two photos I hear you ask?!
WELL he was a very good boy and worked really well, even when we made a few mistakes he carried on and worked through. His brain used to totally turning off if he had to stop for anything was a big problem of his last year. Another thing I was really pleased with he didnt go and visit a judge/ring party even when there was a judge standing right by the weaves! WOO! A couple of not so good things were that he did pop out the ring twice but once i got him back he did work really well so not all bad :). Another great thing was he did get one clear in the 1-3 Steeplechase managing not to go visit his friend Sally who was sitting at the end of a tunnel and he even got 1st place! Clever puppy! 

We had even got to try pairs with Rhoda and Brodie! I got a bit lost on the course but we had great fun anyways they were such good boys! Rommy loved getting to be in the ring with his Toad friend and Auntie Rhoda!

A successful first show of the year I'd say! Very proud of my little man! On other news Rommy got his first sunbathe of the year in today! Maybe the weather will stay and he might get another one tomorrow :). Also Kizzy seems to have grown so much already, she seems to have got very long legs. Maybe this is her Maine Coon-ness starting to appear?! The vet seemed to think shell end up as a normal size cat... personally I'm thinking/hoping she be a bit more like her Maine Coon dad! Good luck to Rommy if she does :D lol.
