We had a lovely day of agility Friday!!! The weather here was gorgeous (80 and sunny) and the dogs always love being at Stony Creek. It's a working orchard with a dog training facility and agility trial ring and the first place we ever trialed sooo long ago (I honestly don't know how long ago..must be like 4 years agp..Laika and me :) :) ;)
Cider, donuts, ice cream and dogs. What could be better???
Salsa ran her little heart out. She is just an awesome little thing. 4 runs friday, 4 Q's.
And Mr. Owen Weenie...for some reason he was just really into it. I only ran him twice (Jackpot and Colors) but he was sooo fast and jumping very nicely (very high as to not knock da peen). He hit the weave poles so fast at one point I never thought he'd stay in and finish them but he did. I LOVE it when Owen is having fun. He's such a serious dog.
AND I have pictures!!! Yes, actual right now pictures.
We ended up going back Saturday morning because Nancy, my friend with breast cancer was cleared to go (it's in her bones; in her hip, rib and clavical) so they wanted to make sure she could run without jeapardizing the bone and she could :). But she forgot that she hadn't registered her dog with CPE so she couldn't run anyway :( But it was good to see her and a whole lot of other people showed up to, to hang out with her :)
I jsut ran one run with each Owen and Laika and 2 with Salsa. Perfect lovely fast runs. I asked Becky to run Laika cuz Laika wasn't all that into me Friday :rotfl: Looking to BARK. She's such a nut..loves to bark at things at Stony...I think she's been there so much she thinks she owns the place. Couldn't see anything to bark at so jsut barked into the air while she ran. Goof. It was so cute to see her running with Becky and she did wonderfully.
Just a level 1 jumpers and 4 inches but it makes her happy. Makes us all happy cuz the brattness that comes out when she doesn't get to run at all is not fun.
And Becky got her first Q with her new baby dog (well..she's 20 months but a baby in agility of course) Ruby.
ok, pictures!!!
These first three are from the last trial but I picked them up yesterday. The photographer, Tawnya Shepherd, is just a wonderful person. She gave me some for free and also made a lovely collage for Harriet (mom of Rosie the cavalier who passed away last Saturday). Our agility friends are truly like family..like here but IRL! Harriet bought me the one of Salsa jumping.
Here's Owen going for the table. Look at the face!

And me singing the Owen Weenie song into Owen's ear before his first run Friday
Bad bad haircut. I didn't realize she butchered it that much. Owell. hair grows.
I love this picture and Tawnya had printed it out to hang on her board and gave it to me for free. an 8 X 10!
My boy...:hearts: :hearts:
