Well, the little girl got 2 Q's, 6 points in T2B and a second place Q in ExcB FAST. No Standard, not JWW. A friend took videos which I'll post when I get them. It was a good day overall. In Standard the two other dogs we run with who made the World Team did not Q either so I felt better about that. In JWW it was a nice run except for a bunch of dropped bars. :bang It was the last run of the day and maybe she was tired but no real reason, at least until I see the videos to see what may have happened. We had a judge that I liked a lot in FAST and in JWW. Her name is Sally Gichner and she had nice courses and a great attitude.

:wv Hi Star,

Congratulations -- wow, an EX B FAST Q with placement :nw . That is great. I have one of those (without placement), and at the rate I'm going it might be the only one. Even if you don't get your MACH before I get mine, I'm sure you'll get your MXF (I think that is the abbreviation :dk) before I get mine.

I didn't do agility today. Mom took me to ANOTHER obedience practice match :roll . Where, once again, I made new and different errors that would prevent me from getting that elusive 3rd leg in open obedience :sad , while still earning rave reviews from observers who went up to Mom telling her how much fun I am to watch :wk !

The Divine Empress of the Universe, Rosey, continues to enjoy semi-retirement from agility and got to go tracking on the USC campus on Friday. Mom and Dad decided they needed to work on campus so Rosey and I got to go. But all I did was sleep in Mom's office; Rosey got to go tracking. She is training for Variable Surface Tracking which is often held on college campuses. So it is very lucky that Mom and Dad work at one.

Mom bought me a new triple jump. And I'm working on my peanut. I hope to do better at Cocker Nationals this year -- of course I can't do any worse than I did last year. Zero q's for agility :sad . And come to think about it -- zero q's in obedience :sad .

See you in about a month,

:cool Solo

Hey, Solo! :wv

I'm finally allowed to use the computer again. :wnk I thought we had great runs but they did not meet my mom's expectation. Even that Q she was not happy because the other ExcB FAST Q that we have we got first place. But it was really her fault because she put me on the A-Frame as the horn was going off so we lost the seconds that would have gotten us the first place. :dk

It sounds amazing all the fun that you are getting to have in other classes. My mom was going to put me in obedience for Nationals but we haven't had time to train so it won't happen this year. :roll

We won't have any more chances for an AKC Q before Nationals so no chance of getting out of A in Standard or JWW. I don't care but my mom was hoping even though mathematically it was impossible!

See you all soon!

Star :paw
