We were delighted to have an invitation to the ACE Agility Barbecue on Thursday night.   This was the third attempt to hold the event;  a long period of rainy weather had seen it postponed twice, but Thursday was a beautiful night in a secluded little field in Maryculter,  just outside Aberdeen.

This was where Lily had her very first taste of agility when she was just a young dog, and she had a go at the course set out, managing a clear round!   Poppy had a go too and thoroughly enjoyed herself, though was quite easily distracted wandering off to investigate all interesting people and dogs about.

I took lots of photographs, pushing my camera to its limits as the light disappeared,   The picture I have chosen of that event is of this lovely dog who barks her way round the course.  Here she is at the top of the A Frame, making like a mountain wolf.   It’s a shame it is not quite as sharp as I would have liked.
