So This happened the Other Day

So last weekend, Cedar was treated to an afternoon of 8 week old Cardigan Corgi puppies. Jimmy's breeder, Anne, visited with her current pups. Once we were sure Cedar wouldn't play too roughly, we turned them loose together. Cedar hasn't had this much fun since he was with his own litter! Jimmy and Wilson were horrified another pup might be moving in and hid in the house!

Here's a photo dump for your enjoyment!

The Weekend Report: Fear Forgotten!

This past weekend, Jimmy and I attended just one day of an agility trial given by the Mattaponi Kennel Club. It was held in the same building that a few years ago gave Jimmy quite a bad scare. I didn't know whether Jimmy would still hold on to that fear so I only signed up for one day. I was very happy to see he cruised right into the building without hesitation. He didn't seem at all afraid so I do believe he has let that incident go. YAY! Thankfully, the A/C vents on the ceiling weren't noisy this time so his fear was not renewed. I was a tad worried about that all day.

The courses were fun, fast, and fairly easy. Jimmy cruised through both Standard and Jumpers without much trouble, other than a couple of poor handling incidents by me. Fortunately they didn''t cost us the Q, so we had another nice Double-Q to put toward our National Championship qualifications (and PACH2). We also earned another 47 points!

Jimmy's breeder, Anne, came for a visit and kindly ran the video camera for us.

Here's our Standard run. I get a good chuckle watching myself run. I am certainly not the most graceful handler out there. Jimmy is a saint for following my lead so well.






And Jumpers....Pardon my butt being in your face as I leash Jimmy afterwards! LOL!
