Logan and I showed in the SCOR CPE trial this weekend. Saturday I earned 4 Qs in 4 events and my CTL3-F title. Mom didnt' realize I earned the title until Monday, so it was a surprise. Sunday I only earned 2 Qs in 4 runs, but it was enough to earn my CTL3-H title. Since I do not run in the strategy games I have now earned all my level 3 titles and will be competing at level 4 in all CPE events moving forward. Not bad for an almost 10 year old lab.

Logan earned his very first agility title on Saturday, completing his CL1-R title. It was his only Q of the day, but with nice results. He went on to Q in his level 2 Standard run on Sunday, having moved up with earning the title on Saturday. He also Qd in Wildcard. So the youngster is starting to earn his Qs.

Tucker was home with Dad, still out of action since he had a toe nail removed a few weeks ago. Mom hopes he will be back in the agility ring in August, as we are taking the month of July off. We will be competing on a few weeks in AKC.

This was our first outdoor trial of the season and close to home. Mom likes close to home. Though I had some very good runs, I did not Q. Mom is once again a bit upset as I bailed off the dog walk on Saturday. I did better on Sunday.

Tucker was not running well at all, very slow, Mom thinks his toe nail is bothering him. She even scratched him from a run on Sunday. As for Logan, all I can say is he had fun. His first run of the weekend, Novice JWW was a great run, if not for knocking the first bar. The rest of the weekend he had the woohoos.

Our next trial is CPE in June. Maybe we'll do better there.

Mom had us up early for the trip to the Keystone trial in Hatfield, PA. Tucker had to stay home as his paw was infected again. I ran first in Ex JWW and once again popped out of the weave poles. I was moving well and caught Mom off guard so she mishandled a few obstacles. Then there was my Ex Standard run, where again I popped out of the weave poles and knocked a bar of the panel jump. Mom said my card was like alphabet soup with all the errors. Before the next show Mom wants to run me through weave poles to get me prepared.

Logan was entered in his first AKC Novice Jumpers with Weaves event.  Mom was a little nervous, not knowing if she could keep up with him, whether he would d a rear cross and whether he'd do zoomies. Well, with only one refusal and 8 seconds under time, Logan earned his first ever AKC Q with a second place finish. Woohoo Logan, you are on your way to your first agility title.

The last run of the day was Logan's Novice Standard run. It was not pretty. He started with an off course, rather then going throuhg the tire he ran over and went through the shoot. Next, he fell off the dog walk. Thankfully he seems to be made of rubber, as he was not injured and carried on through the rest of the course, but was a crazy dog, running around but Mom managed to get him to the finish line. Maybe he'll Q in standard nex time.

Well, Mom had us up bright and early again today to drive almost 2 hours to Dream Park, For the second time she would be running all three of us. I had a great Excellent JWW run, but missed Qing by 1 second, so close...maybe next time. I bailed off the dogwalk on my Standard run. Mom thinks it had to do with trouble I had in practice this week. It seem every spring I run in to trouble with the dog walk.

Today is Tucker's 7th birthday, so we were all hoping he would Q, but no luck. His Standard run was nice, but he knocked a bar. His JWW run was his first ever Excellent Jumpers run. We won't talk about it, as his sheet looked like alphabet soup. It must have been that MACH cake Mom gave him.

As for the youngest of us, Loga had a great day. No Q's but once again only missed because of 1 fault. This time it wasn't a knocked bar, but he creamed the broad jump. Mom took responsibility for the fault, as she thinks she blocked his view and he didn't see it coming. Even with a few bobbles and visits to ring crew he was under course time by over 20 seconds.

We may have gone 0 for 6 on the day, but Mom was pleased as she saw a lot of progress for all of us. Maybe April will be the charm and all 3 pf us will Q.

We went to our first agility show of 2011. Mom was running all 3 of us in AKC for the first time. We kept her busy running from ring to ring, walking and running courses. I had some nice runs. I would have Q'd my Standard run had I not popped at at pole #10 and then Mom cut me off at the last jump, which made me knock the bar, rather then run into her. Mom was pleased that I was moving well and would have made time. There is hope that I can get my AXP title.

Logan was running in his first AKC show. He is following in my pawsteps as his went off twice to visit ring crew...wonder if it's a lab thing. He had a great run, knocked one bar otherwise he would have Q'd. Mom was thrilled with his performance.

Finally, Tucker had a not so nice Standard run, for which Mom took responsibility. She thinks it was all the running back and forth between rings and handing us off to friends to hold while she walked the next course.

The last run of the day was Tucker's Open JWW...well did he show us. He had a clean run and earned his OJP title, which was one year to the day since he earned his NJP title. Needless to say, Mom was excited to go home with a Q, First Place and Title ribbon. Way to go Tucker!!!
