So, I had my first Rally Obedience trial in November. Mom was pretty stressed, but I don't know why! I know my stuff! Ok, I know why! I wouldn't go down for anything! And then once I would go down, I wouldn't let her walk around me. It made me nervous to have her behind me!

Trial day came, and we went out there, and we wowed them all! We only placed 6th in the Novice run, but we got a 189! But mom was worried cause none of the "hard" (ones I have trouble with) exercises on that course! So she was worried about the trial the next day, which would have all of the other exrecises! Duncan ran in the Excellent run, but he did anything but Excellent! He got the most NQ's for the course that day!

The next day, mom walked the Novice course, and was even more nervous! Everything I have trouble with was out there! So, we went out, ran the course, and came out with a 194 and a second place! Mom was so happy! She had expected me to get low to mid 180. To get high 180, mid 190 was terrific! I am well on my way to getting my Novice title with an MCL on the end! Duncan, once again, did waaaaay less than excellent, and was again the winner of the most NQ's on a course! Oh well, maybe he will be better in the trial in February! I get to run in the February trial if I don't get bred this month!

We had Duncan's scare just before christmas (read his diary for all that info) but all in all, Christmas and New Years was good. We had a big play for New Years with 28 dogs in total! Great fun!

Well, Happy New Year all, and may you all get lots of belly rubs, cookies, and couches to sleep on!
