Today

Went pretty darn well..

We had an hour and a half at commando this morning, and basically just did contact equipment work. Charlie's epic, and I don't need to say more. At the moment commando is really the only class he's totally relaxed and happy in, so it's always nice to go and play on Sunday mornings.

We got home and I had about a half hour to eat breakfast, give the birds their fruit and veg, get changed and repack the car so we could go to the school for this morning's demo.

Charlie was pretty much ready for a sleep before we even started, but despite that he went better in the obedience than he did yesterday. Maybe because I had cheese this time round? Anyway, very proud of the silly monkey.

He didn't stress before agility, which I was really happy about, but he messed his weave entry up again. I don't know if the spacing is off on the club's weaves, or if it's because they're really flimsy and the poles are super short, or because the course was quite tight, or he was just being a brat, but he ran past the first shot, I brought him back and he entered on the wrong side. I brought him back and he missed the first pole. And fourth time lucky he did it right.

Noodle nut.

The fete was packed. Because they were worried about rain, it was moved up off the oval (so we didn't get many audience members, which was a bit disappointing), and it was a lot of things and people and stalls and chaos and noise and huge clangy rides all crammed into one area.

The one thing I've done super right with Charlie is socialisation. He wasn't phased by anything, met lots of different people of all sorts of different ages, and didn't bat an eyelid.

But then he go bitten on the paw by a green ant and he went all sooky. Poor bubby. He was very theatric and limped about for about twenty minutes with this awful sad look on his face before finally forgetting about it and carrying on with life.

Now we're home and he's going to spend the rest of the day sleeping because he's so exhausted.
