Had big plans for yesterday and today. I have 10 dogs who I wanted to get a run into over the weekend, 5 yesterday and 5 today but my best laid plans hit the rocks whenever I realised that a stage of the Irish Rally championship was passing the end of the lane on both days. The roads where to be closed from 9am to 5pm so the trials will have to be done midweek or next weekend.
I got the pups out hunting at dawn this morning, it was a beautiful sunrise and it was one of those occasions that you feel glad to be alive. The humour soon changed when one of the pups had a nasty collision with another pup and took a very heavy tumble. She is very sore of herself and is putting no weight on a rear leg. It appears to be around her stiffle area, I held it under the tap for 15 minutes to keep any swelling down and left her into a small pen on her own. If she is still sore in the morning then it will be off to see Brian Jones. The two dogs who ran on Friday night came out of their races pretty well but I will get them checked to be on the safe side.
I didn't get to Lifford last night and for once had a very relaxing evening in the house. A litter comrade of Blue Vixen won the first race and there appears to have been a few nice types uncovered in the A3 stake. The one that catches the eye is Black Ajax.

Very little raced and one who looks to be going the right way.
