On going

Myth continues to oscillate between awesome teeter performance and being freaked by it…..sigh. Other than the teeter she is coming along beautifully, running sequences with drive and going out to jumps even better than Suds. In last weeks class she even went through the chute-several times!! She has been going through the chute at home, but the one at class is heavier (regulation) material so takes a little more to push through. She also seem to like the outdoors better than inside, I suspect it is because she is very space sensitive and the walls and others around are a little more pressure that she would like - as always, something to work on.

I had a little surprise last week….when Josie received her MACH I placed a notice in the American Lhasa Apso Club Bulletin, and when I received my copy there were 2 more pages with Little JO on them, seems I know some people who can keep a secret. The first on is mine ;-)…….lookee

This past weekend was our last outdoor trial of the year. Josie was entered Fri, Sat & Sun, Suds was entered Fri & Sun. I entered Suds at this trial because it is always cool and sometimes rainy – Go figure Friday it was 91 degrees !!!!!! NOT Suds weather, sign, he did manage to get a Q and 1st place in his Jumpers class – although I think he was the only one in it…It was just to Hot during his standard run and he missed his weaves, but he did to the whole course. Josie QQ (double Q’d) and earned 60 points, she won the Jumpers class- the only dog out of about 13 that Q’s, but was noticeably slower in her standard run, ended up 3rd. Saturday was Suds’ recovery day, Josie ran OK, Q’d in Jumpers with a 2nd place, but she had a little off course (the first in a VERY long time) in her standard run, the rest of the run was really nice, oh well…Sunday the duo ran in the morning (thank you) and is was a very nice temp for Suds, unfortunately as he was headed to the tunnel of which the entrance was places about a foot away from the ring fence a little girl and her papillon puppy were right there and Suds being the social boy he is had to stop and say Hi…..BUT he did come back to me and finished the course quite beautifully. Josie had a very good day, her Standard run was on of her best runs, AWESOME weaves !!! if only she would give me those weaves all the time….she only missed 1st place by less than 2 seconds and it was due to her oh so slow teeeeeeeter….her Jumpers run was really nice also, slower weaves but she was rockin; & rollin’ for 2nd place again. Ended the weekend with 2 QQs and 125 pts.
