Trial Weekend


It's pumpkin time! 42/52, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.

I had a good weekend- the corgi girls are fun to run, the courses were nice and challenging, and the people were great. :)

It's nice to just be able to sit and visit with people, hang out, and talk dogs. Dinner Saturday night was one of the best ever- so hilarious. We ate at a place called Dicks. It was awesome. lol

Pixel was only in three things- Gamblers, Jumpers, and Steeplechase. (things with no dogwalks). She was great- fast, accurate, and a very good girl. She Q'd in Gamblers which is awesome because we really need those gamble q's, and she Q'd in Steeplechase- her first ever! I don't normally enter her because she just isn't fast enough if there are two sets of 12 poles. But I am so thrilled with her this weekend. The jumpers was my fault- she got a refusal because I pulled her off a jump...

Wicca was wild. Like, really wild. Like blast off thirty feet in the wrong direction for an off course obstacle. We were definitely on the edge of way outta control. But we managed two great clean runs- a Gamble that was in control (interestingly enough), and a blazing fast Steeplechase. She came in third overall- against very fast border collies. It was an amazing run. Her other runs ranged from slightly naughty (missed weaves, a bar or two) to a complete disaster (off course at obstacle number 2, lots of smashed bars..)

But despite that I had a fun weekend- no more trials for me until December. Maybe Pixel will have a dogwalk by then... :)
