Today my kid and I went to the Dodge County Fair (nine counties participate). We were in intermediate showmanship first. We had to follow Griffin in the ring, so we were often left in the dust, with a big dog right behind us as well. We did pretty well. Enough to get a purple ribbon. My boy was shy and didn't really know what to say when the judge told him to tell him all about me.

Then we did Beg. Novice B obedience. We work well together. If only my boy would remember to loosen the leash more. I'm not sure what I was thinking when asked to do my finish after the recall. I must have been daydreaming but I needed to be asked twice and then guided with a leash. We still did well enough to get reserve champion. Not bad if I must say so myself.

We tried our go at agility today for the first time ever. We got one practice run, and the jumps were okay, I had no clue what to do on the elevated walk, but after being shown and drug across once I got it. I also didn't mind the tunnel, but my leash caught on the cinder block holding the tunnel and slowed us down a little. We had fun, and finished with a purple ribbon with time of 39 seconds. Yeah!
