And what a year it's been!! *Seriously gushing post coming up*
I've been looking at photos from the last 12 months and honestly could burst with pride at everything my little dog has done for me!
Not only have we done a bit of competing in agility but we also traveled the country doing displays with a display team.
As part of the team we were lucky enough to get invited to Crufts early in the year (my first time there!) to help on our sponsors stand. While there we had a free photo shoot and got some super photos as a result -
Despite it being mega busy Lacey took it all in her stride and wasn't phased by any of it!
After that the display season started so we did lots of travelling on the bus -
giving me lots of time to make collars and torment the ever patient dog -
We did lots of racing -
tried our hand at flyball (her favourite thing!) -
Made lots of children smile -
And did some jumping through fire (something that has been a cause of controversy this year but I can assure you that it is trained very slowly and carefully - Lacey never once showed any fear towards it and it took over 6 months of training to get her to full flames - and many take much longer than that!) -
Highlight of the display year was being invited to Countryfile live for 4 days of displays! Amazing experience and great atmosphere -
Throughout the summer we also went on lots of walks and camping trips which allowed for lots of posing-
And went swimming regularly to build fitness -
On a rare weekend at home we went to a local dog show where she got placed in everything she entered and then won best in show -
