Had the greatest 17th of May ever this year. A few days before they were forecasting pouring rain for 3 straight days from May 16th through 18th, but day by day the forecast got better and by the time the 17th rolled around it was mainly sunny with the occasional shower.
Here in Østfold the cherries are blooming as are dandelions and violets. Lillies of the Valley are almost out.
Husband had to work, but the agility club was planning a training and grilling day - weather permitting. About 9 or 10 of us showed up to train. It was a such a nice way to celebrate. Not haveing to dress up. Lots of dogs and friendly people. They are such a nice crowd, my new agility friends. Lise brought her new puppy Oh Gosh! who is almost 8 weeks old and just the cutest thing. A couple brought a gass grill. Lucy and I had a good training session, a little too long but otherwise good. I'm following Lise's advice and giving cookies every 1-2 obstacles and her enthusiasm and focus have improved vastly.
Later in the afternoon husband and I were invited to our neighbors for hot dogs, cake and coffee, and we got to meet their Anne-Sofie's parents and brother as well. It was an enjoyable afternoon. Good to meet socially sometimes, though our lives have been too hectic for that to happen very often. Both Anne Sofie and I work rotating shifts, our husbands have the farm and training, and then there's their kids activities...
Sounds like a nice 17th of May Mom :) Cool that the agility had a social event. I must say I'm proud of Lucy's progress.
