Can't comment on the dog, but the watermelon sure did the trick for me, yesterday! I didn't end up with a headache from lack of water. I ate watermelon and an apple, and felt great thumbsup1.gif Ruby loved sharing the watermelon with me and scoring the apple core laugh.gif

I usually give Esky some baited water before a run.

Either baited with a tiny bit of chicken stock or a tin of sardines in water.

Depending on what time we're running she might get a meal of 'husky soup' before hand. But if she's still sleeping when we leave home she does not.

Post run she gets husky soup about an hour or 2 after.

The day before a run I'll feed her a little more than usual to make sure she has the energy stores for a run.

We had our first trial since I made this posting & I am please to say, the difference in Bindi was amazing :thumbsup: Each morning for breakfast, a couple of hours before the trial, I gave her about 100grams mince mixed with a good amount of warm water & she scoffed the lot. At the trial, I put some of her BH Kibble in the water & she scoffed the lot each time. On Saturday she got 2 "Q"s out of 4 runs, which gave her the ADX Title & this morning she ran another "Q" in ADX & she excelled in all the other events & only brought undone by my bad handling :( I gave the new boy the same (he's not trialling) & the strange thing is that neither of them did much in the way of poops....maybe they were hanging on till we got home.

Bindi is enjoying her breakfasts before the trials :...this weekend NSW Northern Regional 1st in SPDX & Q, 2nd & 3rd place, Q & Title in JDX, 2nd place & Q in Masters Agility & 3rd in Masters Agility. Here she is looking very tired :)

Wow! Fergus is going to get a whole bag through if that is the result!

Well done Bindi and sheena

Thanks...we should have had another 3 Qualies added to that except for handler error that caused her to drop a bar in Masters Agility, a 1/2 second over time in Excellent Jumping & my "blind spot" caused her to miss the entry jump to the Gamble. The best weekend we have ever had. :thumbsup: I took along some home made beef stock & added it to her drinking water & she would drink as much as I was willing to give her to keep her hydration levels up :thumbsup:
