Wicca Can WEAVE!

After months, and months...and months of practice and training Wicca can weave. I took Sam to practice last night instead of Wicca and brought home the "grown up" poles to work on this week with Woo- I was expecting to have to put the wires on a few times and gradually wean her off the practice poles to the real thing- Wicca said no problem and off she went- like a pro...
I was so proud of her I was jackpotting and jumping up and down like a fool...But wow did it feel good. Her weaving style is very neat- she bounces through the poles- and is fast and accurate. I can't wait for next week to practice at the barn with her....
What a great dog!

CKC Agility and First Title!

Wicca earned her first title! She got her SHD or Scent Hurdle Dog title this weekend. She was great- we haven't practice since august so I was a bit worried but she did great. We did agility aswell- her first CKC trial and her first time at 12inches....what a difference those two inches make1 Wicca only knocked two bars all weeekend- the extra inches make her pick up her feet....she had great contacts and only one "tunnel suck" moment. She came away with one leg towards her CKC Noice title. What a good dog!
I took Sam along for the weekend and he had a great time being admired by everyone. I got a chance to work him a bit in the warmup area and he was great- not the least bit worried about the other dogs and new place...

Computer Problems....

So my computer has been down for almost two weeks now and it is driving me crazy...I still can check my mail everyday at work but miss everything else I do on the computer...you don't really think about how important it is until you don't have it...
Anyway- I have a few spare minutes at work so will catch up on everythin around here...

News

I have been slacking off a bit it seems. I have been really busy with work, and boring real life stuff but Everyone is doing awesome. Kate is still just hanging out- she is enjoying her change of routine I think. Wicca is doing fantastic. Since the "weave pole breathrough" she has been getting better and better as the weks go on. This morning she nailed an off side entry out of a fast pinwheel, tunnel combination. We have a CKC agility trial coming up on the Nov.11th weekend that I am pretty excited about. CKC has no weaves but it will be really good practice for her contacts and jumping. She has to jump 12inches (compared to her usual 10) so I have been really working on her jumping.
Sam is learning a ton and is doing great. I have been working on his obedience a bit more lately and his heeling is coming...he is very exuberant and happy when we work and i love it.
Well- off to work I go...
