Decatur Agility Part 2 and other happenings...

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks so here is the scoop!!!

We had another great weekend in Decatur for agility!! Foster got 2 Q's in JWW over the weekend, and came really close to a few Q's in Std. A judge that shall not be named called a fault on his Aframe contact, but after reviewing the tape he was in the yellow...and the last STD run was the darn teeter!!! I have never seen a dog as big as Foster have trouble tipping the teeter, but he got to where he thought he should be and it didn't tip!!! Poor Foster had the most confused look on his face, as he has been doing the teeter for 4 years and this had never happened!! He did finally tip it down, but we were over time:) Lexi Q'd once in Jumpers (with 1st place) this weekend, which finished her NAJ title!!!

Alright... I will do my best to run down the rest of the crew's accomplishments( If I miss one, I'm sorry)... Cajun got both his Open Std and Open JWW titles this weekend!!!! Simi got a couple JWW legs and a 4th place on one of those. Best of all, she did her dogwalk and teeter in the Std ring!!! Storm and Dave got a 1st place and a Q in JWW. Charly and Annette got a couple of Q's this weekend I believe. I am afraid that I don't remember if Bailey got a Q or not, but she did come so close to a Q in Std, if it hadn't been for the same teeter that plagued Foster!!! George and Jill came a long way on their weave entrances this weekend!!! Jennifer and Moana competed in both Open classes this weekend for the first time. Moana was on fire and streaking through the courses, but the 2 downs on the table caused her some time and no Q's. And she had some speedy weaves as well!!! Marian and Jazzy got a MACH!!! (There were actually 5-6 MACH runs this weekend!!)

So I guess that does it for agility for now as we all go back to practice until Murfreesboro in June!!! I'll try and upload some videos this week!

Belated Happy Birthday to Jason!!!

Birthday Treats!!
Birthday Treats were yummy!!

We also had a storm run through Olive Branch very quickly last week, but it did pack a punch and knocked down many trees in the area including our pine tree in the backyard. Luckily, when it fell it only took out an agility jump!!!

Fun Agility Weekend in Decatur

I think our whole group had a good weekend with EVERYONE getting at least one Q and having a great time at the Decatur show!! Terry and Splash got their Novice Standard title & Pebbles continued to Q in Preferred. Steve and Nala had a great run on Saturday with a Q. Jill and George had a fun weekend ending finally with a Q!!! Moana had a big weekend with a Q and a placement in Novice Jumpers!! She nearly had a Standard leg as well!! Tammy and her crew: Faith got her illusive MXP title, Cajun got a couple of Q's this weekend, and Simi got a Q in Jumpers as well. Lexi got a Q in Novice Std and Jumpers as well as placements in both. We have a little table issue to work on though, but she really did great!! Foster got 5 out of 6 Q's this weekend, with 2 Double Q's!!! We also had some fun out in the field next to the trial site. It was full of clover (?) and made for some pretty pictures of everyone!!
