The perfect day

I know I haven't blogged all week but I've been busy working and getting ready for the trial this weekend.  Lyric has been working hard on chutes and tunnels (with some contacts and weaves thrown in for good measure) all week. 

Anyway, about the post title...today we had a perfect agility day-the girls went 4/4 and were just awesome.

Legend got a QQ today!  First one since sometime in the Spring.  I guess she finally agreed with me that she should get them both on the same day instead of one at a time.  Her runs didn't yield a lot of points though.  We were running for the first time at the new Events Center at Purina Farms and the surface is not the greatest.  The dogs were either slipping, or slowing down to compensate.  Legend didn't slip much, but she was running very conservatively and collected. 

The floor didn't bother Lyric at all, but she is a much smaller dog with less power and speed.  But she did great. She was clean in open JWW and got her 2nd leg.  She ran very smoothly except a little bobble in the weaves.  It didn't get called but she did lose her focus for a second.  Her novice standard run had a refusal at the chute and dogwalk but then she did it the second time.  She initially had an NQ for hitting the broad jump but then they realized they left in the tall boards and not the short ones so they let her rejump that and gave her a Q since she was able to do it correctly at the proper height!

And today is Lyrics' birthday!  I feel more like it was my birthday since they ran so well but then again, my birthday was earlier this week so I guess we can all celebrate!
