T Minus 72 Hours

... and we'll be heading to Chicago! I am busting with excitement to get there! This event is going to be a BLAST.. and we'll get to see a bunch of friends! Friday night, Britt is picking us up from the airport so we'll get to hang out at her house and let Boomer and Tractor play.

The event is all day Saturday and Sunday and we fly home Sunday night. We are entered in EV and a few BA waves. As long as he jumps over 6' in EV (which will be our starting height), he'll get his TOP GUN title for DD. I think we entered two Big Air waves.. and then we are entered in 3 I believe in Texas (next weekend).. so hopefully he jumps consistently into one group so we can get titled for BA as well. Right now he has a Junior, Senior and Master leg, so as long as he jumps 4 more legs into one of those categories, we'll be good to go for Nationals. We are also attempting Speed Retrieve at this event.. I'm a little nervous about this, not sure if he'll "get it" - but it'll be fun to at least try.

We get back late Sunday, then leave again Friday morning for Katy, TX for another DD event. After that we only have one more before Nationals.. if we decide to go to Nationals. I emailed our agility trainer and we are definitely getting back into agility classes (class is once a week and private lessons twice a week) mid-late September. I'm also going to get him into that competition obedience class. After that class, we're going for his CGC. I'm excited because its bee too long since we've done any actual interacting while training.. and agility is so much fun.

Anyway.. I'll probably update after I get back from Rockford.. wish us luck!
