The Zim Family Cocker Spaniel Forum

Hi Everyone,

Well last weekend Kaitlyn and I ran an agility trial in Escondido, the weather was good and the course was NADAC. Now as some of you know I have two indian names: the good one is "Karlie Runs with the Wind" the not so good one "Karlie Run Amuk" Mostly it was a Karlie Run Amuk weekend but I did have one good run. "Tunnelers" one of my very favorite runs. You can view it on the following link

It was the only run I Q'd in out of 7 runs. I got carried off both standard runs for refusing to weave and then I coped an attitude on my other runs and did whatever I wanted to. Mom was not happy and Dad just threw up his hands. Queen of the Butthead club for the weekend.

Kaitlyn tried hard but lost focus and went over time in her jumpers run, but ran clean so everyone was still happy with her. On her hoopers run mom told her to ZOOM and she did the first two hoops and then Zoomed right out of the ring and over to Mom's booth. Guess mom forget to tell her to only zoom inside the ring. Dad made mom hide on all Kaitlyn's other runs, as she is such a mommy's girl. No one knows what gets into that girl but everyone sure laughs alot when she's around. Her tunnelers run was pretty good but she decided on the last tunnel that she had already done that one and didn't want to do it again.

Not a great weekend by any means but we run again June 23 and 24th in Costa Mesa CA at a CPE trial so anyone in southern California who would like to see a trial up close and personal come on out. The park is really really nice.

Hi Karlie,

Wow, tunnelers is really fast. I have never done that event. Don't you get dizzy ? And I recognized the judge! Ken and his two aussies are in my agility class. He is very nice, he always gives me a toy for Christmas and he often makes tuna fudge and brings me some (my Mom never bakes for me ).

We are going to an AKC trial when you are doing the CPE trial. Mom really likes that CPE trial and park, but we haven't gone in years.

Solo

No I don't get dizzy Solo, but watching the video, I can see where dad needs to work on his footwork, he almost tripped more than once. I love tunnelers as I can go super fast, they run all levels together and I beat out the second place dog by a full 3 seconds, even those border collies, and aussies who says cocker can't be fast. Now mom says if only I would slow down and do things as I know how to instead of my way What fun would that be.
Next year you should come out and compete in CPE with Kaitlyn and I in Costa Mesa, it's our very favorite venue and we love to have our friends and fellow butthead club members around us.

Love
Karlie

Karlie!

Wow! I've never seen Tunnelers! Your Daddy did a nice job of directing you. My Mommy says she would have been flat on her buXX .... behind.

Nice job showing those BC's and Aussies fast ~ Cocker style!

Lub,
Chessie

That looks like lots of fun! We've heard of tunnelers before but had no idea of what it really looked like. No way of dropping a bar is absolutely wonderful!

Congratulations on your Q. I too love to run my own course but my mom gets frustrated and loses her voice yelling HERE! So I'm trying to be better now that I'm 3 years old and I'm supposed to be better trained.

How fun! Congrats on your Q!

Lady says tunnels only is definitely her idea of agility. Maybe we'll give it a try someday - although I'm not sure I'd ever get her out of the ring.

Looking forward to hearing about your CPE weekend. We love CPE but there are only two clubs that host trials in Texas and they're both outdoor trial sites so we have to wait until the last weekend of September. Good luck!

That really looked like fun! You did a great job, Ms. Karlie. I know a few of boys who would love to chase you through all those tunnels. Perhaps we will make it to Tewinkle Park to watch you and your dad fly through the course. I bet you will do those weave poles just to show off for us!

Auntie Carol, I promise to try my best if you and Uncle John show up, but it's never a sure thing as sometimes the devil just gets into me and I have to RUN AMUK Kaitlyn is always good for a laugh too so we hope to see you guys there.

Love
Karlie and Kaitlyn Lu

P.S. Kaitlyn looks like an egyptian princess in her gold lame' snood, she thinks she is one too!!!

Wow she is FAST!! I have to know how you guys remember those courses? I would get totally lost.
