What a great day.....

Yesterday I had a really busy,but hugely rewarding day.
It started off in the morning when I went to London to visit the Queen...hahaha ok not to visit the Queen but its a children's rhyme here,and just trips off your tongue when you say that you went to London!
I went to attend a protest against the DDA (Dangerous Dogs act) I'd never been to any sort of protest before,and was a bit sceptical to how many people would turn up,and what they would be like.
I wanted to go to challenge myself to actually get up and do something visible against this ridiculous,and hugely ineffective law.
There were more people than I thought there,including some celebrities,Robert Alleyne from Dog Borstal was there,an actor called Peter Egan who I recognised,but wasn't familiar with,and Anthony Head (from Buffy) and his wife Sarah Fischer.
I chatted with them a bit and as everyone else was getting photos I though why not,not every day that you chat with a TV star.


I stayed for around 2 and a half hours,having chatted to quite a few people who passed by and who knew nothing of the law,and who were keen to learn about it.
Whenever someone would drive past a honk their cars horn the crowd would let up a bit cheer,it was quite something :)
I left and made my way back home alone,I got some photos of the Houses of Parliament as Westminster tube station is right next to them,and I was also right next to the London Eye,I felt like a complete tourist!

I took Shady to his 2nd flyball lesson in the evening.It was his first time in this equestrian centre,he went in as usual,ready for action,and he rocked it.
He's doing great on his turns,and completly got it that there is a beloved tennis ball on there for him to get.
We ran him from behind the 2nd jump to go get the ball,but he was reluctant to go all the way down there without his mummy lol.
We never did a lot of 'going on' with him in  agility,so I'm going to have to do some dead toy work.
I'm also going to get someone to help me with doing fast recalls between 2 people with 2 dogs,with them passing along the way,to start to prepare him for races when he is crossing with other dogs.

I am just SOOO happy to have something for me and Shady all of our own again!!
