Finally got some agility pics back, this one is from June. It's a Standard run and Mom messed up AGAIN, but what else is new.. we did qualify in something, must have been in Jumpers that day.
Getting set up at the start line. Mom always tells me to Sit and Stay -- why doesn't she just tell me the course and I'll go run it myself! I could do a better job..
Flying out of the tunnel -- gotta catch up with Mom or she'll beat me...
Hey can't we stop for a soda out of the machine? Mom?
La te da te da... wonder what's for supper tonight? Lots of air time over this jump..
What? You wanted me to do the weaves over there? Did I overshoot it??
Mom's applauding my weaving efforts -- she BETTER appreciate it!
And here's what I was zooming out of the weaves for!
Wow I can tell Mom's wanting me to turn left now ---
Aha -- over the triple jump and to the teeter --
Making sure I hit that yellow contact zone or the judge will give us a fault!
And it's a 'down' on the table. I can do either -- no prob, Mom!
And a dash to the dog walk -- it ought to be dog RUN, we're not supposed to walk it, really, or we're too slow!
Mom's real intent that I get IN that tunnel! Ok Ok I get it...
Hey where'd she go?
Well wouldn't you know she messed me up again -- should have called me as I was coming out of that chute -- so I'd know which way to turn. I ended up running a circle around the A-frame and THEN I found her at the tire jump. I wasn't in the right spot to jump it so I ran around a little and then threw myself through it! See what I have to deal with???
Well it wasn't pretty but we made it. Mom learned ANOTHER lesson. I hope she's writing this all down! I have more fun when she has her act together!
We had a good time last weekend, qualified in one Standard course like this one and another time in a Jumpers run (no stuff like the teeter or A-frame or dog walk) so Mom was happy. No, I was happy 'cause she didn't mess me up!!! Our next trials isn't 'til mid-August so I have a couple of weeks to rest up and stay cool. Josie and Emmy will join me then and we'll ALL have some fun. (MOM: And I get to run my legs off!)
Love,
Rudy
