Nobby comes over all modest

It's embarrassing, isn't it, when your parent/owner goes around boasting to all her friends about your performance, but you know in your heart it was only a modest achievement?

Gail is insisting that I post these photos of my first ever rosette won at a dog agility competition last weekend ...

... and she has instructed me to stay silent about all the runs when I got eliminated for a variety of creative "start-line misdemeanours"...

I think you might be more interested to see these cute wee future agility champions spotted in the car park at the Kingdom of Fife DAC show. 

And here's a line of my fellow competitors in the 'Medium' size category. 

Yes they are almost all working cocker spaniels and, it has to be admitted, most of them run faster than me.

It is quite entertaining to watch the humans 'walking the course' before us dogs get a chance to show them how to do it properly...

My new fox terrier friend Flora from Dalgety Bay was also competing at the weekend (at a much higher level than me). She's an old girl now - I hope she won't mind me saying that - but I think you'll agree she's pretty good, albeit a bit noisy at the start!

And finally, at the end of the show, you'll never guess what Gail did. She actually went and bought me a brand new tuggy toy! Maybe I'll forgive her for all that boasting after all.
