After we showed on Friday, Mom and I headed to the bird field to practice. On Saturday, we went to Keeton's for the hunt test. It was 70 degrees and really hot. I was excited when I saw my brace mate, a cute little Vizsla girl named Lupita. We went to the line and then we were off! This time I went straight to the bird field!! Mom yelled for me a couple of times and then she started into the back course, so I decided I better go with her. By the time I got to Mom I was really hot and my tongue was hanging. When we got to the bird field, I started working an area and started to point and then realized it was just a hot spot, no bird. Mom raised her hand, but then realized what was going on. I am really good at knowing the difference and Mom knows that I am. I moved on and found a bird and had a great point. Mom raised her hand again and walked over to flush. You could see where a bird had been, but that was NOT what I was pointing. Mom casually brushed over the area, but she did not trust me and told me "no bird" and to move on. Well, I showed her, I reached right in and grabbed that bird!!! The judge even told her "guess there was a bird in there, wasn't there??!!" I keep hearing how we need to go for ME to practice, hmmm, *I* think Mom needs to practice :) Or better yet, trust me. She did apologize to me and told me she was sorry she didn't trust me. So I guess we are even now. I let her take me home as well as my ribbon and second JH leg. Oh, I did find and point more birds and mom flushed them!!
