I thought I'd be too busy....

To be sad about missing nationals this weekend.

It turns out that even though I am busy and exhausted from all the painting, cleaning and moving, I am STILL thinking about it.

Sigh.

I was doing okay until I saw some facebook comments and photos. It is hard not to want to be there.

Next year WIcca and I will have our shit together. Because this seriously sucks. (and if not wicca I am sure perfect pixel will be ready.....)

I've been lurking around your blog for a long time... but couldn't help but comment this morning. I have to admit, I was really upset for you when I read about your attempt at nationals, same as I was upset for my agility instructor (I train at D&S in Saskatoon). These things do happen and remember, it's ok to be thinking about it, sadly. I would be! But, hang in there, this too shall pass!

BTW, love your blog and photos. And, you've helped inspire me to work with my pups just a little harder in our training too.

I so so hear you - sorry if my comment yesterday reminded you.

I couldn't even do my regionals this year .. and realistically probably couldn't get to Calgary anyhow - even so I'm missing being at nationals ... hang in there and happy moving!

Yup, I feel the same way... my boy won't be ready for Regionals or Nationals for a long while,if ever but would have loved to go and cheer on our team members..i live in a small interior BC town, and 3 of our group are there, sure hope they do well, but they are there to have FUN...I have been following your blog for a while and quite love your pack

Amanda, I feel for you girl. I was so, so, so, sad when you didn't make it ! It just broke my heart.
IT SUCKS ! Ruby and I are sitting at home too and missing everyone and everything.
Only consulation... she came into heat four days ago, so we couldn't of gone anyway.

Come and visit our puppies - maybe that will help take your mind off of the Nationals for a bit?

Next year.... you'll be there!!

I was wondering about you missing it yesterday and hoping it wasn't bothering you too much since I am about to go through the SAME thing. I'm 7 spots out of our nationals. I actually wish I could stay home and miss it there but I gotta go to the event and then explain to everyone who asks how my dog did that I actually wasn't good enough to get in! Like you, I'm trying to stay positive and try to figure out what's going wrong so that this never happens again!
