It’s raining cats and dogs and more dogs here in Keene today and we’re nice and cozy under our tent thing. Four classes for Trot today, three for Tip… and we shall see what happens — LIVE!!

Trot had a super jackpot run and took 3rd with a Q!

Tip’s wildcard run was nice and controlled, even if it was a tad off course. Trot had a great run when it was his turn

the results are in from wildcard and wow!! trot got 2nd place in his height, and tip got 3rd place in his… AND ANOTHER Q!! yay puppies!!

sherry just had her best run ever… with tip in the snooker… trot’s turn now…

and a fine snooker run for the big brother, too!

the results are in for the snooker and… Trot Q’!! with a first place in his height!! this was the last level 1 Q he needed for his CPE level one — he did it, he got his title!!

Tip came in 2nd in the 20 inch division and now has his 3rd Q!

jumpers is about to start…

this weekend was a SMASHING success! Trot did Qn jumpers, so he ended up going 7-for-7 for the weekend!

and Tip’s performance was truly stellar — he went 3-for-5, and was so well behaved, it was amazing!

the wall sure is filling up with ribbons — and now doubly so!

It’s day #1 of agility here in Keene, and what a super day!

We started this morning with Colors, and Trot had his game snout on. He Q’d in his level 2 class, and also came in first place! And Tip did an awesome job, staying right with Sherry the whole time — he didn’t Q, but it was a really excellent run!

Next was Trot’s level 3 Standard run, in which he Q’d with a 4th place finish. The big news in this class is that he now moves to level 4 in Standard for next time!

The finale of the day was Full House. Trot went first (16 inch jump height) and had a fine run. But then it was Tip’s turn (20 inches) and I have to say he was perfect! And when the results came in, both Trot and Tip had won 1st place in their respective classes, and both had Q’d! Yes, Tip has his very first Q!!

Sherry has been working super hard with Tip, helping him become less reactive around other dogs, and no doubt that was an important factor. But something new that we tried today was to tire him out before each run. Dave suited up and ran around (sprinted, really!) and now he has the official job of dog tuckerer.

Tune in tomorrow for day #2!
