To Advanced and Beyond!

Well it happened! We moved from the intermediate class to advanced! Now we have Tuesday free so I may add another night of agility then - one night just isn't enough! Both the dogs were good at class tonight - Scooter was a little slow so I didn't run her as much - no need to practice that before junior nationals... speaking of which! they're only 3 days away!!!!! I still have to go through 2 more days of school - so not fair all of the other juniors left today or are leaving tomorrow :( I just want to mainly have a good time with the other juniors and get to watch the obedience/agility invitationals!! I do have some goals in mind though... I like writing these things out so then I can't deny the goal later :P

For Trixie:

 - generally be awesome :D she's so young that I really want her to have a good time at busy events like this - hopefully they'll be more of them in her future!!

- Place in at least one of her runs:s I do want to have fun - but placing is definitely a goal!

- Be clean in both of her runs

- make it on the airplane: yeah she stretches airplane regulations so i really don't want any problems getting her on the plane and I definitely don't want her to freak out on the plane...

Ultimate Goal:

- Place overall: I'm competitive... :)



For Scooter:

Agility:

- Run! - Dear Scooter, if you only run in two more agility runs of your career please let these be the two - Sincerely you're nervous handler

- Do the darn teeter!! you aren't afraid of it Scooter - I bought a stupid $500 seesaw from MAD agility so you no longer have an excuse

- Run clean in jumpers - that means not going over SCT... mission impossible? I hope not

Ultimate Goal:

- really just running, I don't care if you place as long as you aren't afraid and you run!


Obedience:

- get qualifying scores in both of her runs

- place in novice senior - they're are only 6 dogs, I think you can do it Scooter! ( I managed to singlehandedly prevent two scores of 195.5 from happening) I know its in there somewhere

- good heeling, that includes a good fast pace - I'll even try not to make it too fast for your poor 6" legs :)

- be happy! (notice a trend?)

Ultimate Goal:

- Place in novice senior



Two more days until we leave - I can't wait!!!
