What happened to June?

What a busy month with getting my assignments in to college, working and a holiday. Started the month with a holiday to France to visit the Somme area, to see Simon's Great Grandfather's grave. Its a beautiful area but a sad place with all the war memorials.

One of the highlights was a visit to Belgium to visit Strike, who is Ruger's dad, as we had not met him before, he is stunning and just so full of personality. His owners Claire and Gaston showed us around their town of Mons, with Strike and Chiraze (Ruger's mum) who now lives with them, his sister Biper also lives with them and she is as gorgeous as Ruger.

We had a few agility shows in June and both Mawgan and Zara are running well, just unlucky with Zara with the odd pole falling but she's getting better, Mawgan is just too fast so makes mistakes, its frustrating as at training she is steady and accurate but changes in the ring, if I could get a stay it would be easier, but she won't stay after being attacked on the startline, so I have to live with it, her rare clears normally get placed. Zara ran what I thought was a nice steady clear at Newton Heath in Graded 1 & 2 Agility, I couldn't believe it when she won the class 5 seconds ahead of the second dog taking us into Grade 3!!! At Dashin Dogs Zara also managed two thirds in G2 Agility at our last show at G2.

Ruger is growing and is looking really good, we are looking now to enter him into a show or 2 once he's 6 months old, never shown before so it will be interesting.
