Flying Poodles

WAG NADAC trial

We went to another trial this weekend. This one is the last for about a month, which I think is a good thing. We left early on Sunday (my daughter’s cat had a urinary tract blockage and needed to go to the vet’s–he should be just fine, thank you). On Saturday, Dancer finished her Novice Versatility title (by finishing her Novice Touch N Go title, finally), her Outstanding Open Tunnelers title, and her Open Weavers title. Elly finished her Novice Weavers title.

On Sunday, neither dog Qd but Elly sure did provide some audience entertainment. She stopped dead in front of a tunnel–playing to the crowd of onlookers just a few feet away–and then playbowed to me instead of going in. So I playbowed back… and then asked her to go in. From that point she was running fast and excited and clearly having a wonderful time!
