Eighteen

We just got back from the 3 day Sno-King trial at Argus ranch and boy am I tired! This is going to be short so I can take a nap. On Saturday we ran JWW first and got first place. Didn't get standard but it was close. On Sunday we did standard first and Q'd. Mom said we would have placed but I was being a brat & didn't want to do my down on the table (brat??? ME????) In jumpers Mom didn't push me so I didn't run really fast. We got 4th place and a double Q. That means I have 18 double Q's now. On Monday we smoked in standard! Mom said we could have gotten first but I was being a brat again & took forever to sit on the table. So we ended up with 2nd place. In jumpers Mom was bad & almost ran into a jump so I missed a jump. Does anyone know where I can get a new handler?
Time for my nap now, sniff ya later,
Jolie

Next trial: Weim trial Dec. 6 & 7, Elma

Achoo!

On Saturday we headed down to Argus Ranch for the Welshie trial. Mom said we got a gift in Standard. What?????? I didn't receive ANYTHING! No present, no chewies, no toys, nothing! Just the same old boring treats. If anyone wants to know more about this "gift" they're going to have to talk to mom because I have NO CLUE what she's talking about. Then in jumpers I got to the third pole in the weaves & then I felt it coming, there was no way I could stop it. I SNEEZED! Well I can't weave while I'm sneezing so I missed a pole & that was that for jumpers.

Sunday we headed back to Argus. I didn't want to go because it was wet outside. Mom wrapped me up in a towel so I stayed nice & dry when we walked to the arena. It wasn't that bad after all. In standard we got it, yippee! Then when we were getting ready to run jumpers mom wasn't smiling. Something about not looking forward to running the really really really tricky course. Well she kept me on course the whole time even though I almost went the wrong way a couple times and we got it! Yippee! That made one very happy mom and double Q #17.

Next trial : Sno-King Nov. 8, 9, & 10, Argus.
