The Weekend Report: Better Late than Never!

Here it is Friday, and I I have yet to post about an agility trial we went to this past weekend. Looking at my stats, I know these are the least popular of my blog posts, but really I do them for my record keeping. As Jimmy's career winds down, I don't want to leave an incomplete story.

This one was out at the beloved farm in Reva, Va. Here on the East Coast, at least in Virginia, we have had an incredibly warm and snow-less winter. Late February and early March have been in the 60's! So what happens when I have an agility trial in an unheated barn? The coldest air of the year moves in! LOL! Both mornings started in the low 20's and made it only as far as the 40's. But it was still sunny and gorgeous. The dogs all loved it and the humans just had to wear long underwear.

I'm not going to do a blow by blow description of what went on. Suffice it to say, Jimmy had a very good weekend, earning the blue ribbon in three out of four runs. In our only NQ (non-qualifying) run Jimmy knocked a bar after a tunnel. That is usually an indication that I got too far ahead and his stride was out of whack trying to catch up.

The judge this weekend was one I don't remember showing to before. His courses where pleasantly challenging and very good practice for our upcoming trip the the Championship.

Here are three of the maps, one went missing.....

And I have one video......




So I have one more trial this weekend before the NAC. I chose just one day, Sunday. And guess what?! It is supposed to snow that day! Enough to mess with the roads! LOL!
