June Trials

Despite the rather long blogging hiatus Trixie and I have been quite busy with trialing. In the past month and a half (it's been that long?!) we racked up 3 QQs (2 of which were triple Qs!!), a bunch of USDAA Q's including a super Q and a PGP Q AND BYE! More exciting still, last weekend Trixie got the last two Q's she needed to finish her C-ATCH! I'm glad that we got that title out of the way because now I don't feel as obligated to show in CPE anymore and we can spend more time in the venues that I really love - USDAA and AKC.

Speaking of USDAA... we went out to the New England USDAA Regionals this past weekend that were held in North Smithfield, RI. It was further away than we'd normally go for a trial, about 7 hours, but I figured I could justify it because it was my birthday weekend :) And it was a fantastic weekend. Rhode Island is absolutely beautiful and the show site was wonderful. The turf was, by far, the nicest surface I've ever run on and Trixie really enjoyed it

Since so much happened this weekend I'm going to give each day it's own post, otherwise this one would be ridiculously long... But here are some pictures of our Friday hike in Newport, RI
