Katie and I went to school today. We’re hoping to enter a Rally Trial at the end of October to start working for her advanced title. Before we did our practice run this morning I put her in a down and walked the course with our instructor. Ok. Maybe a few things to worry about, but as I told Katie just before we begin…”if it goes wrong girl it will be your mama’s fault.”
And it was. I was so worried about whether I could send her over a jump while I stayed behind that I skipped two or three stations entirely! Entirely! Well that would be a NQ for sure. Plus I misread a sign and didn’t ask her to do a down. At all. Katie on the other hand did pretty much everything I asked, including correcting herself on one of her sits.
We’re going to try again at class next week. Katie thinks I am a total goof. To make it up to her when we got home we played a rousing game of frisbee.
Mostly she just got to run and run and run.
She’s napping now. Nothing like a fun class, a good lunch and a good romp. Yep…it’s a beautiful day in Sheltie land.
