we put on a little show

[Ace_88]

So called dog days where being held in a large garden centre where many breeds had their own booths and the owners would educate anyone who was interested in the breed about it. And then they were also showing obedience and agility. I and two other were contacted to bring our dogs and show off a few tricks.
It started off very well with Flækja.

I got her to bark, growl, beg, roll over, crawl on the ground and play dead. But for our last trick I decided to make her sit still while I backed away from her. Then I called her to me and told her to jump up in my arms.
I've done this loads of times and it's always worked out great. But not this time.

I'm not sure what it was, all the excitement or the people standing around but Flækja sped to me at triple speed and jumped up. I was not ready for her and so my balance got completely thrown off, I started backing up as I tried frantically to steady myself.

Think I got about six or seven steps before I finally fell down on my bum.
At first the audience gasped but then they were all laughing. I do hope they thought it was a part of the show. Neither me or Flækja were hurt... well... maybe except for my ego.


Waiting to get started
