Saturday:
No Q due to an off course tunnel and an idiot handler who COULD
NOT get a front cross in where it NEEDED to be. On the up side, his start line stay was rock solid, his attention on me was good and we were able to complete the course after restarting the weaves once. It's just information at this stage of the game and more of a learning curve for me than for him. AND tomorrow is another day and another opportunity. Wow, I love this game!
Sunday:
We didn't Q again today, due to an off course tunnel suck. HOWEVER, I was able to bring him back to the correct jump AND I got THREE front crosses in (something I've never been able to do with his speed)!!!!!!!
His weaves were a sight to behold; fast, solid and single tracked.
He was 17 seconds UNDER course time including the off course. Imagine what could have been without the off course!
OT: Another handler and I were talking about the aches and pains of agility in our mid-50's. She said she uses Tiger Balm on aching
joints after a trial. Never heard of the stuff but decided to give it a whirl. I picked some up on my way home and applied it to very sore knees from being the chute tender for the Open class today. Wow! Incredible stuff! Within a minute the ache was gone. (And my sinuses were opened.) The aroma fades fairly quickly but it's still working and keeping me pain free four hours after application.
