Mixed feelings after Dog Vegas (Thetford). First weekend was a slow start, many Es for Spudge (my bad) and Evie dragging round like a lemon 
Midweek was the high point - two 2nds for Spudge, some time faults; Evie got two firsts (one in agility with 5 faults - phew!) a second and a third - can't regard her as the best dog, just the least bad! Downhill from there really - Evie at least started looking more enthusiastic again, but generally multiple 5Rs or Es. Spudge got slower and slower - this morning she was slightly lame, on three tracks and had a major pole in the heat today, so I took her out. Think we will take a break for a couple of weeks (Evie for a brain holiday, Spudge for physio and R&R) before Rugby. Not a happy camper!
