pixels great adventure and other exciting news..

First off Pixel is no longer allowed to be in an xpen...even with a cloth top the little bugger escaped. I was walking Boone and when I got back I found out that she had jumped out not once, but twice!!! The first time a dog person was going by and saw her jump out and scooped her up to put her back. The second time she got a little farther and was returned to the wrong corgi prople!!! Geesh.

Wicca did very well in Open. We lost major points on our fronts/finishes but otherwise it was great! She did a great drop, broad jump and retrieves. I am very impressed with her- she was a bit worried, but didn't flake out on me. She did her long sit out of sight- but broke the long down!! She got up right when I left the ring, and then laid back down....but I am very proud of her, and it totally made me realise that it is not as scary as I thought!

Boone had an awesome run today!! He scored a ninety-six and did great!!! He wasn't stressed or nervous about the judge and had a good day.

Wicca had her Advanced debut and did really, really well. I of course screwed up a sign and again cost us ten points for doing the sign incorrectly. I didn't have her sit in heel position after a call front sign even though I totally knew I was supposed too!!! Anyway, we scored an eighty eight which isn't awful, but if I could get my act together we are totally capable of a 100.

Oh, and in other news we just discovered Pixel is in season. Imagine how fun our hotel room is with two intact males and a flirty but bitchy little Pixel. Needless to say she is in a crate now...

Sounds like overall you had some terrific moments. Pixel probably gave you a couple terrifying ones too. Heres good wishes for more successes tomorrow.

Sounds like you are having a great weekend (well, aside from Pixel escaping - but at least people were watching out for her). I am glad that Boone is doing so well in the ring and that you and Wicca made it through your first try at open with some great successes.

No wonder she kept escaping and going to the Corgi's she was trying to find a boyfriend!!!!

Congrats on a great showing with Boone and Wicca!

Open is a lot harder than it looks. You are very close!
