Rainy walk and flyball demo!

On Sunday we went to a flyball demonstration at a dog show. I've only ever got one rosette with Ernie and that was 6th place in obedience at the same place last year. I've got hardly any rosettes with any of my dogs, they've always been my Nan's. Lola has two rosettes from a dog show two years ago and Ernie's got his obedience rosette but that's about it.
I'd won juniour handler once with Ernie's brother Alfie, so I decided to try again with Ernie. If I could win it with a dog that wasn't mine, why couldn't I win it with a dog that was mine? Well, I didn't win. It was a lot different from the competition with his brother, and all we did was walk round the ring. Then a pigeon appeared and Ernie flew after that so I knew we wouldn't come anywhere. Instead we got a special rosette. I was pleased, as there were some people who didn't get a rosette at all. I also competed in best veteran with Barnie and came 4th!
The weather has cooled right down, and Ernie is a lot happier. He is much more of a rain, snow, sleet, cloudy dog than a sun, heat dog. So heres some pics from the flyball demo and a walk in the rain :)
The pics when hes in the lake were taken at the flyball demo and the other pics were on a very rainy walk! Can you believe he used to be scared of water?
