The rest

The rest of the weekend was good, but not quite as good as Friday.

Yesterday was a wash for Legend. She apparently forgot all her listening skills and was doing her own thing left and right. But having fun. Too much. But the crowd enjoyed it!

Lyric had a nice standard run. She had one wrong course (wrong end of the tunnel-I told her she better not pick up her sister's bad habits!) and then I guess touched the broad jump on the way down. So she got an NQ for that but otherwise good. Her Jumpers run was perfect-course time was 52 seconds and she did it in 28!

Today was a bit better. Legend NQ'd on the jumpers course, but to her credit, it was tough. She did redeem herself and get a standard Q though. Just one more leg for her MX! Lyric had a pretty good day today. She had another table fault today and then it took me 3 times to get her in the chute where yesterday it only took once. But she did it so that was good. But then she bailed off the teeter. Granted a lot of dogs had trouble with this teeter but I really wish that wasn't her last impression of the teeter in a trial setting. I'm hoping to get to do some teeters other than ours before the next trial. But the rest of the run was great. In jumpers she had one refusal-she didn't want me to cross behind her when I sent her in the tunnel so that is something we can easily work on. She also ran past the weaves but then came back and did them perfect. So she got another Q. That's 4 Qs and 4 firsts for her this weekend. I'm really pleased with her and now we know what to work on. And she seemed to adapt to the 24 inch weaves very well.

And if you are keeping track, yes she did get 3 jumpers legs this weekend. But no title because it was all the same judge. Darn one ring trials!

Sounds like your weekend was good overall! Too bad about the one judge thing because Lyric should have her title! She is awesome - hope to see some video of her soon. She must love agility!
