Trin's Invitation


I'd like to apologize for this huge delay because well, I'm lazy. :) 

Not been doing much these last couple of weeks with the dogs.  Lots of swimming and dock diving, not much of anything else. I did break the slump today and work all 4 dogs (Bayer's in Ohio) on weave poles just before a storm. It was windy and cool and I'm sure my neighbors thought I was nuts, probably a small lightning risk. Eep. 

So Trin got her invite to the AKC Agility Invitational (as #6) Miniature American Shepherd. I thought about it for all of 20 minutes and signed online and entered. It's so cool to get invited and to not have stressed about it all year, I even skipped Trin in a few shows in the spring! If it weren't in my backyard, I maybe would have reconsidered but it's a cool event and I can sleep in my own bed! Plus it's so apropos since I was retiring Trin after nationals! lol 

I entered the Friday FAST class, which is ironic, I haven't entered FAST in years! Not sure I'll go but it would be nice to get an idea of the footing, so I probably should. 

I look forward to the event. I've never been so I don't know quite what to expect competition wise, or all the rules, but I hope we do our best. Mostly it's great for me to practice focusing at a big event. No better to do it with than my Nov A dog! 

So here's a Trin highlight from Perry, quick, and a song that doesn't fit but I like this song so...

Aussome! Feigh and I will see you there. We will be doing all three days - we need as much practice as we can get. :O)

:) I am very excited that I get to meet you and Feigh! I'd say make sure you find me, but you should be pretty easy to find as well. We'll probably be walking the same courses!
