Poetry in motion...

Here's part two!

 

Last Day of the IFCS Agility World Cup & Championship of the Americas

I like to give kudos to Elizabeth Evans for taking on a dog she never trained, worked and competed with a handful of times before this big weekend's IFCS Agility World Cup & Championship of the Americas. She did a phenomenal job with Gorgeous with only one elimination all weekend! There were some tough courses out there!!! Now if Gorgie would have done her part by keeping the bars up, agility life would be good!

Gorgie stayed with EE and listen to her very well on all runs (minus the first one) and did everything asked... other than one important part. :-D

Anyways, here's their Standard run from today which looked like a dance. Well done EE! — with Elizabeth Evans at Will Rogers Facility Watt Arena.

Here's Gorgeous' and Elizabeth Evans Jumpers run from today. Look how EE got Gorgie to listen to her to go between the jumps and then not take the tunnel after. Also no problem with back jumps all weekend! Nice work! Too bad about the bars.

Thanks EE for taking such good care of Gorgeous I'm sure she enjoyed the massages you had lined up for her. Also, thanks for believing in my dog thinking she had potential to be a world team member. I only wished she kept the bars up for you. — with Elizabeth Evans at Will Rogers Facility Watt Arena.

Here is Gorgie's and Elizabeth Evans Gamblers run from today! It was an awesome opening!!! Wait until you see the running dog walk which was a mini Gamble after it. The judge called her AF, but EE thought she got it. Also, Gorgie knocked the last bar in the gamble which cost the team too many points to even get close for the cut for world team. Oh well, they are now running for the pure excitement of the game!

This is yesterday's Snooker round which they qualified and placed 6th. All six dogs had 50 points, so it went by time. So yet another beautiful run!

 

2013 IFCS Agility World Cup & Championship of the Americas this weekend!

Gorgie is letting Elizabeth Evans know she is ready for some 'gilities at the 2013 IFCS Agility World Cup & Championship of the Americas this weekend! She's ready to rock like the Rockstar she is!  Fingers and paws crossed they make the cut to be part of the world team and fly to the Netherlands next year! Competition starts tomorrow!

A Gorgeous Day to Hike!

Gorgeous Titled HXBs!!!!!!

THIS is a great day for me! As of today, I have achieved all my goals with Gorgeous. A championship in herding would be icing on the cake! Anyways, Gorgie and I received 3rd (out of 11 dogs) in Advanced B Course sheep this morning giving her the HXBs title!!! We also received 2nd place (out of 18 dogs) in Advanced A Course sheep!!! What a day... what a great dog I have!

I would like to thank Marie & Alan Koebke and the whole Alamar Farm gang for helping us get there. Also my favorite clinician, Kyle Smith. I love you all!

Keep Calm and Sheep Herd On!

Gorgeous and I have a sheep herding trial this weekend. Gorgeous is up for her Excellent title in B Course sheep. That course is ran in a big field with a shed at the end. The A Course sheep, which is ran in the arena, we are gathering points for her championship.

I took off training for three months, but we have had four practice sessions since. Fingers crossed we can do this! SO... I'm going to remember to Keep Calm and Sheep Herd On! And enjoy the beautiful weekend with friends.

A Gorgeous day to train!

Agility today Herding tonight!

Late evening hike at the park!

This park is my favorite place to be that's close by. What a way to enjoy life... hiking with your dogs in a beautiful park.

To My Love...

“I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours. ”

So be happy... and Gorgie will continue to walk towards YOU!

LifeHand

“And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered."
― Nicholas Sparks

Bluebonnet Shoot No Go

 

We went to our annual Bluebonnet spot for a photo shoot, and there was about a dozen or so.  The weather hasn't been in good condition for them to flourish.  Oh well... we went to Sister Grove Park and ran around some instead.  

Below are the photos I took of the pups with my DSLR.
