Hey Coops well done getting to richmond this morning to trial after catching up with you and lily last night. What time did you get home?? I only just walked in the door about 1hr & half ago. Great night of racing at Bathurst last night just a shame my FB and Forum friends didn't get any winners. cheers Dougie :)

Fantastic night of racing at Bathurst. Some good dogs running around there at the moment and the track is in excellent condition.

I got home 1am, kissed Lady and Bess goodnight, Hit the sack 2am, up at 5am, walked the dogs for 30 minutes, went around to Keiths to walk his dogs, 6.30am took 4 dogs to Richmond, left Richmond 8.45am, went to Bruce Carr's bullring, went to Macca's to get soft serve icecream for the dogs, went to Muscle man to get one of Keiths dogs checked coz he's racing Bulli Wednesday night, got back home 11.30am. Cleaned kennels and vaccumed them, changed bedding and washed dirty bedding. 2.45pm.
Had a nice cuppa and crashed on lounge.

Hey Coops, I'm glad you got home safe. It can be a difficult driving trip as 2 weeks ago it rain very hard and flooded the roads on the way up there. Today driving home the fog started rolling in. As i have done the trip many times before i have once or twice driven at night home and hit heavy fog which has nearly made it impossible to continue driving home. Anyway your very keen trainer as for myself i not as motivated as yourself to train dogs. Keep up the good work mate and hope to catch up somewhere on a race track soon again. cheers Dougie :)

coops is right, never pay any attention to first up trials, its the 2nd, 3rd and 4th trials that are the interesting ones as thats how you can can gauge the improvement! I've seen dogs improve up to 12-16 lengths!

now wouldn't that be nice Gippy mate. 12-16 lengths inprovement. Group races, here comes Lady. lol
I'd be happy just to win her maiden at The $10,000 Super maiden next month. That will do for starters.


coops

Howd she pull up after her trail?

Have you tried racing lady and your other dog?

pulled up a little sore in the shoulder. Alittle work on it and should be ok in a few days.

I've just put Bess back into work after a 6 week rest due to a broken fibular. It will be a while before I can put her with lady.

I have got her papers and will be taking her to Bulli tomorrow night to be checked and cleared for racing.

Dear diary, 27/1/10. 1.30 pm. Lady latched hold of next door nieghbours goat. 3pm. Lady and goat doing fine.

coops

Gee Tony, mustn't be feeding her enough now she has to try and eat the neighbours goat. lol

The bloody goats are always wandering around and they are not scared of the dogs. They get too close to the kennels and this time Lady tried to drag one into her kennel. Probably wanted to play with it.
