Dog Agility World Championships - Day Two

Dog Agility World Championships Day two - Gorgie's Team Snooker was going great until she knocked #4 bar in the closing.  In Team Jumpers, I noticed a lot of dogs knocking the first bar.  When I was up, I saw the hole everyone was talking about before the jump.  I knew this wasn't good for us and I was right... she knocked the first bar.  I was so frazzled that I put her in the wrong end of the tunnel... crap. 

Now for the main man...  In PVP Snooker, Handsome and his teammate Senna ran the same plan, and both ran out of time in the last half of #7... crap and so close!  Still we gathered some good points!

Now for the most thrilling part of the day... running Performance Grand Prix Semi Finals with Handsome.  I made sure I remembered every moment of that run... what a high I was on.  We were clean! 

And one of the best parts of that run was seeing my friend and instructor Elizabeth Evans at the end.  It reminded me of my first private lesson with EE when Handsome was over a year old and I was clueless in agility.  When she saw Handsome work, she told me that she could see me taking him to the National's.  I was awestruck and inspired ever since.  Thanks EE for believing in us... we did it!


Here's today's Pup Portrait brought to you by Murfreesboro, TN!

Also, we got another member for our team!  They added a dog that his name started with a "G."  So GGG Force is back in business!!!
