Stuck on 16

On Friday mom packed up our stuff & we took off for the Timberland Valley Dog Fanciers trial in Tumwater. The standard course was pretty tricky and we were doing GREAT until I saw the tunnel by the weaves. You know me, if there's a tunnel, I'm in it! I'm just a tunnel kind of girl I guess! I made up for it in jumpers & we got 2nd place, mom was happy.

On Saturday I got to run in FAST! We haven't done FAST in ages. Hey, I got the bonus! The only problem was that it was the novice bonus & we're in open. Mom tried to get me in the right end of the tunnel but the wrong end was soooooo tempting I just couldn't help myself. Too bad we weren't in novice or else we would've Q'd.

Then everyone was talking about the standard course. It had two U-shaped tunnels at the end of the dog walk. We had to run down the dog walk, enter one tunnel, then cross & enter the far side of the other tunnel. All the big dogs kept sucking into the wrong side. Not me, I got it! We got 2nd place.

Then in jumpers we were doing great but mom forgot to focus at the end of the weaves & I missed a jump because she didn't tell me to take it. Bad mom. She says we are stuck on 16 & that 16 is the new 13. Whatever. I just want to run & have fun!

Next trial: Nov. 1 & 2 Argus
