been awhile...

Wow, it sure has been awhile since I’ve blogged. We’ve been nonstop busy here - which is a good thing, but not good for the blog! Well, our first trial was (in my eyes) a success. He didn’t get a Q in either of his runs, but his contacts were awesome! We had been working his contacts SO hard in class the last month, that if nothing else it was AMAZING to see him rock those.

We had to take the week after the trial off, as our instructor was out of town, but we were back at it this week and he is of course, still LOVING it. The most exciting thing for ME lately.. is the last few classes we have gone to, I round the corner, and pull up and he sits up real straight, looks out the window. As soon as he sees the agility equipment, he starts whimpering. I ask him what he wants.. and he starts howling. It is SOOO cool to see him so excited about something! Yesterday, I didn’t even talk to him, and as soon as we pulled up he started barking, barking, barking.. the instructor heard him from her house! We were both happy to see how excited he was.

He is just SO into class, its great. Yesterday, he was volunteering all sorts of obstacles.. when the teacher and I were standing, discussing handling or something, he would just grab his wubba, and take a jump or two, or the weaves.. or his favorite of the day.. she had the tunnel extended out to its full length. Oh my gosh, he was in heaven!

There is a NADAC trial in May, memorial day weekend, that we will probably go to - its in California.. but that’s alright. Our next event is a dock diving event in Costa Mesa, CA - the weekend of April 12th. I’ll post more after that.

Here is a link to the videos from the trial.. and I’ll be sure to update more soon!
