Aww great photos. The only photos I got of the day were the ones that Rommi's breeder took for me - I would ahve had none otherwise so I am really glad she came down to cheer us on and take some pictures for me :)

I haven't come in the endurance thread for ages!

I couldn't get Digby ready for it. I guess he's just not built for it, so it was an uphill battle and he wasn't enjoying it :(

But good on to everyone else who has now done there ET or will be doing it soon :thumbsup:

I've now got Digby a backpack which I think is more his style :)

:D Love Digby with his backpack. And nice pics, murve.

We went out training again today - 5.5 km with both dogs, then short break to put the 9 year old Kirra back in the car (much to her disgust :laugh: ) then another 8.6 km with Rory - including some horrible bumpy rough grass and stuff (for me - hard work). Think we're all getting fitter. :D

Tassie, do you bike both your dogs together at the same time? I wouldn't have the guts to do this with mine eek1.gif

Sounds like you're going great guns, and your commitment is astounding in such cold weather, and with all the other commitments you have as well! Well done! thumbsup1.gif

Wanna have a holiday in Perth next year and get 2 Labs ready for the ET? ;)

:rofl: Now you're talking RS - just wish Perth wasn't so far away. ;)

Yep - both at the same time. Both on harnesses, and Kirra on a slightly shorter lead, so she's on the inside and usually slightly behind Rory. If we get to tricky places, like where there are other people and dogs, or like this morning, when there were a whole lot of high school kids running and walking on the path, we might just stop briefly to one side. Both dogs have a good verbal stop, and not bad directionals (which they only relate to the bike :laugh: ) - the verbal stop comes in handy if there are plovers, or rabbits :D .

Kirra is so funny when I drop her off in the car, to do more (and slightly faster) with Rory - she has a major tanty in the car - could hear her from a couple hundred metres away this morning. :laugh: She does the same thing when I take him off to do a track (even if she's just done one.) But when he's going to do obedience or Rally, she couldn't care less - they're not her thing.

Yes - it is hard to get training done in winter - luckily I only work 4 days, and can finish work and be home by about 4 - still only an hour of daylight though. And our training clubs in Hobart only train on Sundays. :(

Beautiful day down here today, though - perfect for a training ride along the river - sunny, warm (ish) (about 14) and the wind was lightish and northerly, so not freezing.

I'll offer you free accommodation in exchange for training my two :rofl:

I'm such a sook in cold weather. It's freezing here today, but it's probably warmer than your warm day! I lack motivation to head out to train in cold weather, unless I have people I am meeting up with to train. I could go for a bike ride this arvo, but can't be bothered laugh.gifembarrass.gif I'm rugged up under the blankie right now! Better get back to work :o

Nah ness - she wants them trained for ET :rofl: (I didn't tell her part of the deal was getting CD with Rory - cos RS is an expert LOL - or you can do it if you like. ;)

Done deal! CD with Rory in exchange for ET with Labs x 2! :D (oh and no expert here, I may in fact break his enthusiasm!)

Yeah sorry ness, the deal is ET only. Which you're welcome to do, but Tassie seems to be the ET pro!

:rofl: LOL - well if getting ET with two dogs already counts. Looking at the lovely way you work with your girls RS, you certainly wouldn't break his enthusiasm. But don't forget, he's a boy, he's a BC, he has eyeballs and other balls :rofl:
