IPOC weekend

The IPOC weekend had some good parts and some not so good parts!

On Friday, Lonya was in a "need to tunnel" mode, and took a few extras! She even cut behind me at one point to take a tunnel...naughty girl! In her JWW run, she ran really nice, between the two off course tunnels!

Saturday, I didn't do well. In Standard, I pulled her out of the weave poles at pole 11, when there was no good reason to do so! I had plenty of room to turn her AFTER she was through with the poles, but I turned too early and caused her to pop out. It was her only error on a course that had dog after dog crashing and burning....I was so mad at myself! Her JWW run was just a mess, my fault. But she did her poles!

Sunday, we finally got it together and meshed and she Q'd in Standard. I had to do a hard call off a tunnel, but she listened! We got 14 MACH points and were in 5th place (again!). It's exciting to me that we're on the cusp of placing in Excellent B! Her JWW run was very nice, though she DIDN'T take a tunnel that I thought she would! I have video online of her Sunday runs

This weekend was more laid back. Agility and flyball classes were cancelled so we didn't do much. I did take Lonya to a flyball tournament on Saturday AM to hang out for a bit. She was a bit overwhelmed at first, but she settled pretty quickly. She wanted to play I think, hopefully we'll be in the lanes soon!

We have agility next weekend!

Catching up...again!

It's been a while!  I made it through the 1 year "anniversary" of losing Kal-El...still can't believe he's been gone for that long.  I still miss that damn dog every day...and still cry over him.  Sigh....

Lonya and I are doing really well in agility, and she's really coming along in flyball.  I'm too lazy to try to post the reports from the trials I've missing blogging about, but will post the videos.  I just want to get back on track, since we're entering our busier time for trialing and want to try to keep up!

Lonya got her AX on September 25,  in Ocala.




Then October 14, I did one day of CPE with Lonya and Sparrow, both Q'd 2 out of 3.



Then, on Oct 15-16, I did 2 days of AKC with Lonya.  Her first try at FAST (which she rocked!) AND my little girl got her first QQ towards her MACH.  She QQ'd the first weekend she was able to...and in doing so, tied Kal for the dog I've trialed that has the most QQ's...  I do hope (and believe) that she will be my MACH dog.



There...at least I've posted the videos, now, let's see if I keep this up over the 3 days of IPOC!
