Mannerly Mutts Agility had a Christmas Party on December 11th. We were really lucky with the weather and had a brilliant start to the Christmas festivities.
John Plant took loads of wonderful photos. Full set can be seen on his website www.johnplantimages.co.uk/p803847969. Take a look and feel free to contact John if there are any you are interested in.
We played several games, the sausage game was a hoot, the doggies had to stay by a plate with a sausage on it while the handlers did a set of weaves.
I was impressed how many achieved the first round. The format was a knockout with the difficulty increased every round. For the final round handlers had to do the weaves then recall their dogs past the sausage. This was too much temptation; all of the woofers ate the sausage on route to their handlers!
The water game caused much frivolity. Handlers carried cups of water on a tray while doggies did a course of weaves, jumps and a tunnel. 2 teams, small doggies against large doggies. The small doggies were well in the lead until poor Inky knocked over the bucket in his excitement after a brilliant round. Now I know it was a” fun competition “ but competitive instincts rose to the fore and one person (you know who you are!) distracted me by telling me Patrick my donkey had escaped. He took this opportunity to top up the small doggie team bucket.
Chris Jackie and I had a wonderful time, Merry Christmas to everyone and can’t wait to see you all next year for more fun agility.
