..to ME! Yesterday was my birthday! (Actually, by the time I get this posted it will be way past my birthday, but Hey! I do a a problem with the whole time concept.) So, I just had my birthday, and I had a really special and busy birthday! First thing in the morning,while the grass was all dewy and cool, Mom and I went to an agility competition. It was Day 2 of Lums Pond and it could only be better than Day 1. I had fun, but I DID NOT LISTEN WELL to instructions on the course, so we had three NQ's (did not qualify). Mom blamed herself (like all good handlers) and hoped to go better on Sunday. (actually, she was so frustrated by our performance on Saturday that she thought about skipping Sunday altogether. That's VERY UNLIKE HER...but truth to tell, she got overly tired and it wasn't fun competing later in the day. I cold see she was hurting badly, and I think she paid more attention to her body's aches and ills than to me. Consequently, I lived up to my Moussechief nickname).
I'm so glad Mom opted to go Sunday morning. She told me all the way out to the pond that we were just going to concentrate on having fun and more fun...no matter what the course presented us with. Just fun...And fun it was. A fast course that showed off all the distance training we've been doing. There was no way for mom to keep up me after the tunnel, but she hit all the verbal commands perfectly, and I listened perfectly. Here's what it looked like:
Lauri and Gusto were at the end to say congratulations to us. Lauri also let mom cry and cry cry and cry and cry. This was her last competition with me as my handler. She decided that no matter what the happened today, it would be the last until she's better.
Friends that hold you when you cry are The Best!
How did we do? What was the result???? Check this out.

It was a Blue Ribbon Day for us both!
