Finally got the pictures taken :)
So I am ready to brag.
The dogs ran well. Salsa ran 10 runs, qualifying in 6 of them. I was very proud of her because she finally ran standard under time! Standard has ALL the obstacles including the big a-frame and the dreaded teeter and she did them so nicely. She won't ever be fast on them...the a-frame is about 5'3" and she is so tiny...and the teeter won't tip fast with her on it but she was still 7 seconds under course time with no faults at all. SOOOO proud. She prefers jumpers (jumps and tunnels) and one run she just ran SOOO fast and SOOO determined. Unfortunately she wasn't paying any attention to me and where she was supposed to go...just RUNNING and doing whatever obstacle she felt like. It was SOOO cute.

Owen was awesome also, qualifying in 5 out of 6.

Laika...well, Laika ran really well but she needed 4 Q's to get her C-ATCH 2 and lets just say she still does :rotfl:
She absolutely refused to do the teeter. Really. It was bad...she never likes it but the only time she would even get on she jumped off again. THEN I find out yesterday that Sunday they realized they had left a stabilizing bar off it so it was slipping slowly all weekend. Owen didn't notice, and it prob. didn't move with Salsa but Laika knew. Actually quite a few dogs didn't want to do it.... I felt better when I heard that but of course we will still have the problem unless I could get over there to practice...
But she ran so nicely I wasn't really upset anyway. I love it when she's fast AND she didn't bark at all!!!
I had to run all three in a row quite a few times. I think that is getting easier.

The ribbons are in bins...
I think I took a pic of the bins once...I just had to buy a bigger bin for Salsa!
