it was a great weekend once Owen got over his FOP and FOWPW.
He only got one qualifying run Friday (which did finish his level 5 jackpot)
but Q'd both his runs Sunday. Very fast, 0 faults, first place. 3 out of 5.

Laika Q'd 3 out of 4. The one she missed was totally my fault as I lost my mind while running and didn't pick up enough points with her in her Jackpot run. I DID have to run all three dogs consecutively though...so I'm blaming it on lack of oxygen to the brain since I couldn't BREATHE by the last one... NOt a lot of little dogs there..so now that Salsa has reached level 3 she often runs with my other dogs.
I should say that although Laika doesn't have all firsts, she has more competition. She jumps 4 inches but is jumping as an early veteran as her real jump height is 8 inches. So she is judged against the 8 inch dogs...so runs against some fast Jack Russells and such. She did beat a fast boston terrier twice....cuz Laika runs perfect and Candy had faults :)
Salsa generally is the only dog in her class...I don't tell her that though. I'm still proud of her blues cuz she is always under time and in the points games she has TONS of points. Sometimes more than Laika and Owen!

Salsa was the star! She was entered in everything cuz I won a free weekend of entries for one dog and she likes to run and needs everything still of course
7 out of 8 Q's. She slid backwards on the A-frame and turned around and got off during her second Standard run (standard has all the obstacles in a numbered course. You can't retry the contact obstacles (teeter, a-frame, dogwalk) so that was a non-completion of an obstacle.
She has a fan club I think... people gather to watch her. I was happy though cuz instead of just hearing how little she was, I also heard how fast she was and how well she works. :) She does love it a lot!

Our good friend Beamer got his C-ATCH Sunday. He and my weens are the only dachshunds running CPE at any of the trials we go to. He was the 3rd doxie to get a C-atch. (Moose being first, and Laika Second) He runs with all his heart cuz he is a short-legged guy. We love Beamer...

Salsa is the proudest little bug! I just want to bow down to her royal presence, clearly superior to all she sees.:bow1:

Yeah... she's pretty cool...for a rodent-sized, half-bald, weirdly spotted bugdog....
She has a lot of confidence esp. in the agility ring. She did fall on her little face during one run as she jumped off the teeter. She looked at me as if to say.."I fell DOWN!" with her little huffy noise she does but when I told her she was fine, it was "OK I will run fast now". God she is cute. SO cute. Sometimes I can't hardly stand it.

She's so cute I'd have to swear when describing the level of cuteness attained:

Salsa isn't just cute, she's effiing cute.
She is to cute what Chuck Norris is to the roundhouse kick to the face.

I feel the same way!
I never thought I'd want to have such a teeny thing for a dog... but even aside from her cuteness she is just a really good dog and she doesn't get carried around in a purse or wear outfits or anything. She just a great little dog who happens to be really really little and really really really effing cute.
I called Pat today to thank her for Salsa....even though she was paid for I was just feeling grateful for having her..

What kind of nonsense talk is this??? We would love more pictures of little Salsita!!! After all she is a Doxie by Proxie :)

So please go ahead.

I love the pictures in this thread, they all look amazing, they look so proud with their Ribbons and all. Especially little Salsa :)

OMG you shoulda seen Beamer!!! He and his mom took their victory lap and then he ran out of the ring and I picked him up and took him to get treats. (his mom was so excited she was crying) He was SO proud of himself. Just strutting. They KNOW somehow...
I swear Laika's been different ever since she got her C-ATCH.
Owen is always so happy when he runs well...he knows how happy I am. Salsa too...
I DO work hard with them. I work every day on something...but it's FUN. If I could do anything...I'd love to just train dogs. I just really enjoy that. They do too...I feel like they feel...competent and proud. or else I'm projecting :)

Amy... YOU are amazing. :hug99: You are giving these dogs an amazing life and it shows. You're keeping their minds healthy and their bodies active and you are enjoying them to the fullest. They just ooze calm confidence. You have every right to be proud of those adorable babies - all three of them. :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2:

Alas...i did not succeed in caring for the frogs. Despite all my efforts, the damn f-ing blue heron ate most of the frogs in my pond. I chased it away 10 times a day, drove my truck almost into the pond LOL, shot little apples at it with my slingshot but it was all in vain....
BUT there are plenty of little tadpoles ready to grow into froggies, at least. I keep hoping the frogs just left to be safe...and will return. Heron is gone now that there's nothing to eat. Stupid evil evil evil bird.
