Agilty Triumph...The Owen Weenie Story (ribbon pic added)

[areese]

Well, Owen Weenie had some major agility achievments this weekend. He's had better weekends as far qualifying runs go, but he OVERCAME his fear of BOTH the teeter and the A-frame. Not that he has a problem in general with those obstacles but he doesn't like the particular ones at this facility (teeter tips too late then slams down hard...a LOT of dogs fly off it..although it seemed better this weekend-maybe they adjusted it). He just confidently CHARGED up the A-frame!! He really needs to approach it confidently cuz it IS a difficult obstacle, physically. He qualified in 4 of the 6 runs he did this weekend, all 1st places. He ran very fast-getting to the ends of tunnels before I could even get there! He was happy happy happy with his tail going like crazy the whole time he runs (at least 5 people came up to me and commented on that fact LOL). My knee is so good I forgot about it totally when running and I think that WAS what was bothering him last time; the fact I wasn't totally mentally with him cuz I was worried about my knee.
A man I don't know came up to me and said I love watching you run all your dogs because they are so HAPPY running and having such a good time. That made me feel really good :)

There's nothing like seeing people and animals who are just thrilled to be doing something with each other. We're just SO proud of you, Amy, and the Weens (and bug, of course!!!!!). I REALLY wish I could come and see you run someday. :hug99::hug99::hug99:

[Otto'sMom]

Amy, your pups would have the biggest cheering section at trials:cheer2: It really is great when other people can see how happy your puppers are when they run. Way to go big O!!:cheer2:

Yeah....I know. I HAVE a video camera but I don't take it and don't even remember how to use it. Some people are always asking people to tape their runs and I HATE to do it (it's fairly chaotic at trials and then you gotta stand there waiting for them to run or you'll forget....or forget how their damn camera works or forget to take the lens cap off or something...stresses me out) so I prob. wouldn't ask anyone to do it for me anyway. My friend that has taped in the past runs quite soon after my dogs always so she has to be getting her dog ready (and man there will be someone YELLING your dogs name if you aren't up there in line LOL!) and can't usually tape Owen or Laika (Our dogs are all level 5 dogs and small so run close together)
Here's a link to a video of Owen...dunno if you have seen it or not... It's a while back...prob his 4th trial so I'm baby-sitting him a bit around the course I think but he's awfully cute..
