I
feel just as sorry for our four legged friends at the moment –
lockdown and restricted to an hour a day for a walk. I realise that
the restrictions have eased a little but some of us are nervous to
venture forth.
I'm
lucky to have a garden and so went rummaging in the shed – rummage
rewarded I dug out Rose's agility kit from way back when. I found
hurdles, two tunnels, one short, one longer and then remembered that
I'd cobbled together a platform – very scientific, a short plank of
wood raised by two bricks at each end. Further research bore fruit –
thank you again Amazon
and we invested in another hurdle. They are made from sturdy foam so
can't hurt – they are so light however that a gust of wind or a
stiff breeze might carry them off into the next village! If you see
a flying hurdle you'll know it belongs to Rose!
Our
routine these days is a morning walk and then around 4pm we have some
agility fun – I thought a couple of photos might make you smile :
on
the plank – she waits until she's
told
to move off
the
short tunnel – a treat encourages her
the
hurdle – flying high!
It
just goes to show what you can assemble with stuff you've got lying
around.
A
dog will never do what he or she doesn't want to do – I think it's
safe to say she's enjoying herself!
Up
next … time for cake
