Indi's first flyball competition!

Well for the last week we've been camping. You may recognise the location as I took Ernie hiking in the same place a few months back when Koko had just arrived. The location was beautiful, hills and fields behind went on forever and every day either in the morning or evening we went for a lovely hike exploring the beautiful scenery. It was the longest time any of them had been away, and they all coped really well and loved it! Ernie was so ready to go home, so was Kez, but Indi would have happily stayed there!
Kez actually came up with my parents on the Monday, and then we all went home on the Friday. It was a great week, and a fantastic experience for the dogs, especially Indi.
So, on the Monday there was a starters competition :). As on the last comp Ernie was very unmotivated and not really enjoying it, I have decided to stop competing with him. I think the environment was just too much for him, he just prefers to come for the long hikes :). So, Indi went in:). The first run didnt go to well, he was a bit confused as to what he was doing seeing as this was only the 3rd time he'd done proper flyball runs and his first ever time in a competition environment. But after that, well wow! He ran so well, and was fast too! As the day went on he just got faster and faster :). He loved it too! All in all he came 2nd, the highest Ive ever come with any of my dogs. Afterwards everyone was telling me how well he did :). The fact he did it, as he is such a nervous dog, was enough to make me smile but coming 2nd! Well done my crazy little Indi :).
So, it was a brilliant week :). I do have a photo of Indi doing flyball done by a proffessional that cost me £6.00 but its just so good, that I will have to scan it onto the computer :).

So for now some photos of the wonderful hikes we went on. Would be more photo's, but my new camera broke so I was back to my 5 year old, tempromental one. Saying that, some of the photos did come out great :). And it wasnt too sunny either, so Ernie was happy to go running for hours without the worry of the sun and heat. What a great week it was:).
