Mad Mutts - Acremead

Both dogs were on the Rockets today with Smartie, Jamie, Piper and Perry. There was quite a lot of swapping dogs in and out but Nat only ended up running Elliot for one and a half races because the rest of the time there was only ever one of my two running :) I was really really pleased with both dogs today. Elliot, had one wobble in our second race when we had moved from the blue lane into the red lane and missed out the first two jumps before he realised he was supposed to go over the jumps in this lane this time bless him. Other than that he was brill, box turns were sooooooooooo much better than last comp, he needs to try and get his back legs up a little bit more but hey, that will come :) He also did an amazing turn around after getting a light, has he ran to get his tuggy I managed to grab him, turn him around and let him go!!! As for Jembear, she only ran in the blue lane, just doing warm ups in the red lane and we had NO running across to the other lane :D We had one moment when she came of the box that she thought about it but I managed to call her back in and she manged to just get over the first jump but that was it, the rest of the time she was really really focused!! :D She also had a little bit of a confusion moment when she came through the gate and dropped her ball and so she went to go and pick it up but everyone was shouting at her (we all thought she was going to go back up the lane chasing!) and so she ended up just standing right in the way looking very confused as to what to do but it was fine because Nat still let elliot go and he just ran round her bless her, luckily I managed to get her before jamie was released! I still need to improve my change overs as I kept being late, however I did manage a 0.00 start time with Jem :) I will leave Nat to fill you in on times etc but we finished fourth :D
