I apologize for my tardiness in posting, but we have been CRAZY busy--I'll update the pics with captions later, but here's the quick update. Yesterday: Warm up and Time to Beat runs: not our best performances, but still a clean run when it mattered. Today: Freakin' amazing!! Trap and I ran Jumpers (Round 1) and Standard (Round 2) and got 8th and 5th places out of 28 dogs, respectively. We go into Round 3 (Hybrid) as the 5th dog overall in the 20" Preferred height class--woo hoo!!! So, up early tomorrow to run Hybrid and then see if we make Challengers (sort of like semi-finals) and/or Championships. No matter what, it's been an amazingly awesome time. :)
