Dog Show!

 Okay Second dog show, first ever without Lisa there with me and it felt super strange for sure.  But Suza with her little toy poodle Petunia from dog class traveled and showed with us.  It was Suza's first time back in the ring since the early 1980's and she was thankful it was a small show.  Trial one Willow was the only dog in Rally Intermediate, so we qualified and for our first leg.  Autumn and Petunia both were in Novice B.  Autumn hadn't had a chance to completely settle yet, my fault I should have had her outside moving some before we showed but we settled for a score of 81, and 3rd place.  Petunia and Suza were Second place with a score of 91 I think.  Not bad first trail.  This is the first show I've done both trials on the same day.  Usually it's a 1 and done deal.  

Trial 2 there was a second dog in Intermediate so Willow ended up with a 2nd place on that one and it was ME that messed up more on her.  She was doing great.  Autumn and Petunia only had one other person in Novice this time and like Autumn he got his novice title.  Autumn scored 94 for second place, whereas Petunia, through handler error ended up 3rd place.  

Petunia was not in this picture because we were trying to get stuff picked up so we could head home.  Petunia was literally the last dog in the ring for the show.  But all-in-all it was a good weekend.  So Willow has 2 legs in Intermediate and will aim for her title in less than 3 weeks and Autumn I need to decide if I want to push her for intermediate there or let her do 2 more in Novice to solidify her a bit more.
