Practice!!

Mom and I went to run thrus tonight as we need to practice for our trial in a few weeks.  Mom was really nervous, more nervous than me!  It turned out to be a very interesting evening!

I did great on my heeling - Mom was proud of me and she let me know that.  Then we did articles and that is hard for me in the ring.  I grabbed the first leather but knew it was not right, so I carried it as I sniffed all the others, then I found the right one, so I traded.  The judge told me I made a good decision!  Of course I did :)   Then we did gloves, I really like my gloves.  We pivoted, Mom showed me which one and I took off to get it.  I was about 2' from it and realized a big GSD was right on the other side of the ring gate... hmmm, what to do.  I slowed down, and reached as far as I could and took the glove really careful in my teeth, turned around, flipped it in the air, caught it and ran to Mom.  I was very proud of my choices and so was Mom.  She thought I was just too cute. We had to do our moving stand and let the judge go over me and then on to go outs and directive jumping.  We did a good job. 

There were a lot of people signed up, so we just worked through open on our own.  And then we headed home.
