And we're back

And we're tired!

Agility results: Legend was wound up this weekend. I guess that's all I can say. She had a lot of fun and was pretty entertaining but only managed to get one novice fast leg (3rd place) and nothing in any of her excellent runs. Although she had a lot of nice parts of courses and great weave poles almost every run. And she didn't seem to have any stress. I messed her up on our last run though. Zodiac finished his NAP-officially-with a first place. We also have an unusual agility brag. Cheri's dog, Renny, was giving her mom all kinds of trouble sitting and staying at the start line and leaving the ring to look for squeaky chicken toys so she let me try running her in open jumpers. And we had a really nice run and a Q. So apparently we can't get our own dogs to pay attention and are thinking we should just switch dogs at trials! That did finish Renny's OAJ though so we all sort of ended on a good note.

Rally results: Legend got a 98 her first time in Excellent and placed 4th but was beat by Zodiac and his 99 which placed him third. Zodiac also got his second RAE leg by then getting 2nd in Advanced with another 99.

Obedience results: It was really ugly but Legend actually qualified in Novice to get her first CD leg. I actually didn't think she was qualifying going into the stays but by some small miracle we managed to score enough to get a leg. Here are some ribbons from this week.
We also had a good time (maybe too good) at the Rescue benefit on Friday night. We definitely sat at the lucky table as everyone won something and several of us won many things in the raffle. Plus our booth made a lot of money for MOKAN!

I don't have any pics from the show photographer yet but here are some pics of Cheri's pom, Jeff, in the hotel room making himself very comfortable. Isn't he cute?

Springfield Rally Trial results: Yep, we arrived back in town last night and showed at the local trial this morning! Legend was somewhat unfocused in the ring (imagine that-it's only her 5th day of showing in a row!) but did earn her second RE leg. Zodiac scored a 94 in Excellent and placed 4th and a 98 in Advanced and placed 3rd. That makes his 3rd RAE leg.
Finally, this is in no way a reflection of our political views or party affiliations, we just thought it would be funny and so Jerry created this cool sign. Enjoy...
