Took me this long to recover from the disastrous agility weekend so I could write about it...
LAIKA, the evil weener, was less than good. Lousy. Bad. EVIL. Her only reason to be on the agility course was to bark like a fiend at anything that moved. Some poor old man (who did walk funny....I'll give her that....) was hobbling in between the rings (there were two trials UKC and CPE) so Laika barked madly at him instead of doing the A-frame...he's like paralyzed staring at her not knowing what to do...finally hobbles off the other way..
Barked at kids, dogs, tents. And she's LOVING it. We got two Q's (qualifying runs) Saturday...not quite sure how but on Sunday nothing. I took her out of the ring once. She was barking at someone, wouldn't stop, so I told the judge we were done and carried her out and put her in her pen. She was shocked and appalled. NO treats???? I'm being CARRIED out of the ring??? in my pen with NO TREATS??? I don't know if it made an impression on her but the next run (her last) she did NOT bark but also ran really really really slow. (Take THAT, mean mommy).
Owen was good. He had a super fast colors run (it's a game with two short courses imbedded together and you pick one to run). He DID go under the tire jump 3,4,5 times (I lost track) but since they had automated timers and that was the first obstacle, they didn't start timing cuz he's so little he went under the beam LOL. He ran the course in 24 seconds and the standard course time was 39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He had a really wonderful jumpers run too but since I was so darn flustered from his evil sister, I ran the course wrong. He did it beautifully though :)
I was so upset with myself for that...and with Laika...I really forgot that she did get two Q's and a new title (CL4-S) Owey got a title too (CL1-H).
