Pestalozzi Village

This was a weekend of 5ths!!
Saturday was a nice easy day with just one open team in and starters. We had the Express team in who managed a fantastic new seed time of 20.55! Having not gone under 21 secs since the team dropped Annie and replaced her with Razzle and knowing from timing them that she was faster, I wondered if was time to try her back in the second team again (she was dropped to the third team after getting frightened by running beween Fly and China) but Razzle was storming and totally showed that he deserved his place.
That night we had a lovely BBQ with Ramsden and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening
On Sunday we had the Extras in who where really good and fought hard to win but were really outclassed, Fox seemed to be really slow and I was a little upset that he seemed to be taking a backward step, when he suddenly upped the pace and suddenly did a 4.25! I was gobsmacked as he didn't feel that fast. I was also able to let him go from 45ft on the blue lane yeay! He only ran out once in the whole comp so I was really pleased.
The Echoes did ok time wise but we were still plagued with Box troubles and Mitch and Echo making the box stick. It also rained and got really boggy so we pulled out of the last race of the day just showing up and not actually running the dogs. Mitch and Echo are so big and heavy that we were worried for their welfare. I know that we were criticised for doing this but I don't care, anyone who said a bad word about us molly coddling our dogs obviously didn't appreciate the circumstances in this instance and should keep their opinions to their selves!!! Ok rant over! All in all though it was a brilliant show and we really enjoyed it!
