We just got back from the trial in Murfreesboro and our (Jennifer, Natalie, and I) first RV experience. Jennifer brought their pop up camper and we stayed in the RV park near the site because many of the hotels in the area had ridiculous rates and were no longer allowing dogs. So we set the camper up next to Steve and Terry's RV and had a great time!!! Friday night we had Hawaiian hamburger nite complete with authentic Hawaiian tunes from Terry!! The dogs hung out in Xpens while we ate and we had great food thanks to Steve and Terry! Saturday nite we had Taco night at our camper! Again Yummy!!! We also celebrated Cletus' 2nd birthday with cake (for humans!). Aside from a few thunderstorms Saturday nite the weather was great and the air conditioner in the camper would freeze you out!! Our next RV agility adventure will be the Hattiesburg trial in August!!
On to the agility trial itself...there were some big milestones at this trial!!! Jennifer and Moana got their first legs EVER (in regular or preferred) in Open Standard and Open Jumpers on Sunday!!!!!!!!! (Yes Moana and Jennifer Double Q'd!!!!) We think it may have been the first ever bulldog competition that Moana faced this weekend from a younger girl named Moxie! She was very cute as well...though not a real bulldog because she was mostly white and EVERYONE knows that a real bulldog is red brindle.
Steve and Nala got their first Open Jumpers leg on Sunday as well!!! Terry and Pebbles Q'd in Jumpers this weekend, and Terry and Splash made their debut in Open as well in Jumpers!!
Lexi did well in Novice Jumpers earning a 2nd and 3rd place. She will probably be moving to open in the near future! Standard is a whole different story!! The table is still an issue, but we did manage a sit on it on Saturday...too bad we were needing a down that day! She also blew all of her contacts except for the teeter on Saturday...the high point of the weekend for the runs with Lexi is that her jumping is beautiful and she is really listening during that portion of our runs! Sunday I did pull Miss Lexi from the course as she blew off the weaves and was running past obstacles...her head just wasn't in the game:)
Mr. Foster was incredible this weekend!! He earned 5 Q's out of 6 and only because of handler error did he miss that 6th Q. He also got 1st place in all of his runs which meant 5 big toys!!! YEAH!
We did miss Jill, Tammy, Annette, and Dave (the rest of our crew from Memphis)@ the show!!
Our next stop in 2 weeks is a Barb Davis seminar in Nashville!
