Both my dogs did me proud yesterday at the Staten Island Dog Training Club agility trial!
It was a LOOONG day - I have heard of agility trials being all day - but this was literally ALL DAY.
In the early morning, we had Novice Jumpers with Weaves preferred. Iggy Pop was first and we got a wrong course and a knocked bar - NQ. He was sucked into the wrong end of the tunnel.
Priscilla had a clean run though and got a second place and her first Q! Yay!
Then I went home - it was so hot and I lived close. Grabbed lunch with my mom for her birthday and sat in the house for a bit. Then I headed back for our Novice Standard run with Iggy Pop.
Not only did Iggy Pop Q, he placed FIRST! It was worth the wait!
:D

The Quest for RAE
Ok, Priscilla has done Rally since she finished at under 2 years of age.
She loves it as do I. After finishing her RE, I wasn't happy just sitting back with that. I wanted more letters.
Easy right? 10 double Q's in Excellent and Advanced.
Ok, so you enter her at the Nationals - to see how she will handle 2 runs in a day. Beautiful! she loves it!
2 legs down.
Oooh - look, local shows! So you enter those at $55.00 a pop. She gets 2 more legs. You are starting to get tired...6 more times of THIS?
Then on a rainy cold day over Memorial Day weekend, on a muddy Advanced B course with a lake conveniently placed next to the Moving Side Step Right sign, in your t-shirt and shorts (NOT proper attire for the weather - stupid Today in New York weatherman) the dog takes a leak.
In the Ring.
She NEVER did that.
She looks at you with those big sad eyes "I told you I hate the rain".
SIGH
So you drain your bank account on sympthay shopping and go home...only to be rewarded days later with a nasty sinus infection and a 50 dollar doctor bill for the office visit and 2 precriptions that you cant be out in the sun with...which blows your plans for Rallying on Sunday.
I'm a vampire this weekend watching weekend tv. Priscilla is curled up at my feet. I think this was a sign we were going too fast? Probably. I need to sit back and enjoy my summer!
I am planning on entering West Springfield...that is if my mom doesnt grab another set of Bon Jovi tickets. (eeee). :D
