YABTC AKC Trial at Washingtonville

Hi everyone! It’s me, Sefina. After 3 days of playing CPE agility last weekend, mom drove us all back to Washingtonville to play AKC agility on Friday. The day got off to a rocky start. When we got there, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait for mom to leash us all to get out of the car so I decided to try to make an escape and mom’s head got in the way. I slammed my head full force into her nose as I attempted to leap out of the car. She was not very happy with me. Luckily, it didn’t bleed but mom said she needed a few moments to recover. Then mom ran Kiwi in Jumpers with Weaves and Standard. Kiwi was over time in both runs so mom thinks she was still tired from last weekend. But after 11 perfect runs last weekend, Kiwi is entitled to an off day. Then mom ran Robin in Standard and he blew his contacts again. The only bright spot was that he went down on the table right away. He’s been stubborn about that in practice. Then in JWW, he went off course so didn’t qualify and missed getting his Novice JWW title. However, I ran the course perfectly so I did get my Novice JWW title!! Calvin ran right before I did. It was his first AKC trial so he only ran the JWW and he also qualified with a perfect run. So mom had to wait until the last 5 minutes of the trial to get a couple of Q’s, but good things come to those who wait.

The next day we just chilled at home. Mom said she had a pretty bad agility hangover from trialing 4 of the last 8 days. We were content to watch her do some chores, including tackling Poo-mageddon. She says that was the ugly consequence of Snowmageddon 2010. Then Sunday, mom & I went to Splash ‘n Dash to host and participate in Rally Run-thrus. Most people were there to practice for this weekend’s WPKA show at the Pittsburgh Convention Center. Mom did not enter me in Rally for that show since she is showing pretty boy Calvin in conformation.
