OK, I don't think I'm ever going to do that part 2. So in summary:
We went to our first NADAC agility trial on the 6th of May - and we took Mystic. And we ENTERED Mystic. Her first agility run ever!!!
Anyway, Merry had 2 jumpers runs and one regular agility, Mystic had one agility run. On the first jumpers run Merry did everything fine, clear run, but came in way overtime.
Then it was Mystic. She got a little nervous by the start line. It was time to go - and she ran with me - and then the dreaded tunnel. She froze. Oh great, I thought. I knew this was going to happen. What now? So I told her to sit ... gave up on that idea, told her to run, and she went through the tunnel. Woot! But then she went past a jump, and when I called her she back-jumped. No pass, oh well. She froze at the next tunnel too and I let it slide, kept running and she was getting some nice speed towards the end. Good Dog!
On the second jumpers Merry got it all right, was going nicely - and then missed the last jump. Ah well. And on the regular - she was going well until the distance. Merry and distance don't mix. So I crossed the distane line, took her through the tunnel, up the A-frame, and then she went crazy psycho and did rabbit zoomies, round and round and round. It was hilarious. People on the sidelines were cracking up. I e ventually got her back and finished the course properly - 40 seconds overtime. Hooray!
And now I'm missing spicks and specks, so thunderstorm and pap club'll have to wait. Ta ta for now.
