Thanksgiving weekend trial

After a long drive to St. Louis in the rain and freezing cold we spend Thanksgiving day with my mom's family-ALL of them!  It was nice to see everyone as I don't get to very often.  Then it was time for 3 days of agility and some time with my dad's family-much smaller!

Friday started out great for Lyric-she did all her weave poles and Q'd in both classes-both first places!  That gave her two legs each in Open standard and Excellent A JWW.  Legend had a good day but with a bar down in standard and missed the first weave pole in jumpers-guess we couldn't fix it completely in just 2 weeks!

Saturday Lyric went around one jump in jumpers and didn't finish the weave poles.  She did the weave poles in standard but had 2 refusals on other obstacles so no Q's.  It was Legend's day to so something weird-she ran partway up the A-frame, turned around and came back down.  No clue why.  After a few more struggles on that course I ended up getting disoriented and just heading for the exit.  But she had a nice jumpers Q to give us something to show for the day! 

Today was Legend's day as she had two lovely runs (I even did some accidental layering in standard) and got a Double Q!  Lyric has some nice things going on but didn't finish her weaves either run and spend a bit of time begging for cookies from the ring crew!

Off to Tulsa next weekend! 

Oh, and I have some video I will try and post later this week.  Too tired now.

Congrats on your "Q"s. Its funny how sometimes everything clicks and sometimes they dont. Sounds like things clicked more than not. Congrats! Diana

Congrats on your Qs. It was neat you got to see all the families and still got to do a weekend of agility, sounds like a nice holiday weekend.

Sound like they both did well, just some minor things to tune up. I love that Lyric went begging for treats.
