bordacollies4me Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 BC4Me, if I can do it in 3 weeks, anyone can :rolleyes: . Most of the girls who have been convinced to compete train with us on a Tues night & are the same as me & havent got a routine together yet. We are looking at only doing a routine of about a minute to some edited music, 1 min of doggy dancing isnt that hard :rolleyes: . Tassie, its on a long weekend up here, but the doggy dancing isnt on until the Monday. maybe next time.. but you can be assured i will be there to watch and cheer you on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bordacollies4me Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 should make it all the more interesting as a spectator then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Dogmania is here!!!!!!!!! :D I will be at the Dances with Dogs competing with Jarrah on Monday in the Starters Solo section for anyone who wants to come & say hi, Jarrah is very easy to spot, he's the only red kelpie competing in Dances with Dogs section & will have a sparkly black & gold collar on. After the Dances with Dogs I will probably be spectating over at the Canine Disc cheering all the finalists in the Australian Canine Disc National Championships. I will also be there on Sunday at 11am for one of the demos but only as a spectator. So who else is going? I see that Hugapug has a stall there, who else is competing or going as a spectator?

MrsD Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Wishing you and Jarrah a great and successful debut, MrsD. Is someone going to be videoing your performance? Will we get to see it? I"m sure Jarrah will do you proud. Thank you Tassie I was feeling confident that we would at least get through our routine without embarrassing ourselves as I have him working fairly well, but I found out this morning that we are performing right next to the agility ring & agility is set to start at the same time as us, so Im afraid I have no hope. At least everyone will get to have a good laugh at my expense . Dagboy will be there videoing & it will no doubt go up on YouTube, so the whole world will get to see it too, don't worry you wont miss out Edited May 3, 2008 by MrsD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsD Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Well we managed to get 4th today, Jarrah got bitten badly about 20 secs into the routine & finished the rest of it on 3 legs & missed a few moves, so I think we did well to get 4th considering it was our first competition. Also got lots of positive comments on the routine itself & Jarrah working from the judges afterwards so that was nice . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsD Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Bordacollies4me, ahhhh now I know who you are, congratulations to you & to Tony as well for getting into the final in the disc & for your agility successes, well done!! 2tollers, thank you, we're pretty sure it was a green ant as I found out later that there were some nests out there. The problem was that we were kept waiting standing in position for probably close to a minute before we started the routine because there was a problem with the music & we think that's when the ant got on him. He got bitten right up between his pads underneath his foot, I think what's happened is that it's got up in there & bit him a number of times which is why it was so sore for so long. I was just pleased that he kept on working for the rest of the routine even if it was on 3 legs most dogs would have shut down & wouldnt have kept working Im sure. Edited to fix up the name!

BC4ME Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 My My but who did I spy at the Dogmania............ I saw your routine and saw Jarrah but it was great that you both continued on with the routine. Congrats to everyone who entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsD Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) My My but who did I spy at the Dogmania............ ;) Ooooooh why didn't you come over & say hi afterwards? :p I saw your routine and saw Jarrah It wasn't that bad was it? Those pics are great, thank you! Eddie took the video but Im usually the one with the camera & he couldnt do both, so it's nice to see some pics . I watched the video, erkkkk my handling was absolutely shocking it didn't look much like dancing . My signals were really bad & so obvious & I have no idea why I had my hand stuck on my left hip for most of the routine, it's left over from obedience days I think ;) . At the beginning I took off up the ring like a freight train was after me or something, I think i just wanted to get moving in case he took off to the agility again :D . But anyway we can only get better, like I said to someone else, I guess it wasn't bad since 3 weeks ago I didn't even know it was on let alone have a routine . Oh & apologies that I used your name in an earlier post when I was talking to Bordacollies4me, I edited it so people wouldnt think I was talking to you when I wasn't.
