Well, I am back. did anyone miss me? I had my left knee done so i am not limping anymore but when i see the videos i still walk goofy. I walk like a fat old lady, well i guess i am but i don't want to walk like that. I want a spritely walk.
I just came back this weekend from a canine musical freestyle competition thu the World Canine Freestyle Organization. Iris, my young collie didn't qualify but she came close . It was mostly an adventure with her to get her used to being in the ring and learn focus, both of which are things she will need for her first agility trial this month. She knows lots of moves but didn't really show them in the ring this weekend, but by sun she was 50 percent better in the ring. Trixie on the other hand is and old hand and did pretty well on sat and sun would have done better but i practiced to much outside the ring before hand so i stressed her. But even so she made the minimum qualifications and got a second on sat and a third on sun and completed her title. She has a senior beginner/novice freestle title now, which is lots of letters that i have to look up to be sure i have right.
It was a fun weekend and we also got the award for the team that had the most fun because i was happy and smiling no mater what happened and just had fun.
If you are interested you can find all the four videos on youtube and you just put in quiltedcollies in the search area and all four come up.
I am sitting her at midnight with this stupid post because i can not get to sleep. And i have a busy call week ahead. why does this happen when you just can't afford to have it happen?
To awake to go to sleep and to tired to accomplish anything.
Hope you all had a nice labor day weekend. Today it rained here but since i had catch up to play, and the dog were bone tired from their exciting weekend, and lero was busy in his studio, it was reall quite cozy.
Sat after the competition i took the dogs on a mile walk (I stayed at a motel down there to avoid early morning and driving), then i went to a workshop on freestyle held at the hotel and then i was so tired i went to taco bell at the end of the block, fed the dogs and we all curled up and watched Legally Blonde, and Legally Blond 2. Stupid movies but it was a nice cozy time for the three of us. it was our girls weekend out. ha ha
