Well, Mom blew it for Tucker on Saturday. He was clean on his JWW run right up until the last jump when Mom slowed down and said Yes...of course Tucker slowed down and looked at Mom and knocked the last bar. That run would have given Tucker his NJP title. He had another chance on Sunday, but knocked a bar mid-run. His runs were good, he usually takes out more bars. Maybe next run he'll title.

As for me, I had a nice Standard run on Saturday but I too knocked a bar. On Sunday I had a clean JWW run, but was over time by 7 seconds and I had one refusal on my Standard run. The good news is that Mom was so pleased with my weave pole performance. I had no problem with the weave poles on any of my 4 runs. I guess all that weave pole practice this week paid off. Mom had me running through weave poles every day that it did not rain. I didn't mind since my reward for a successful weaves was string cheese...my favorite.

This weekend was a big improvement over my last trial. We are still getting used to running in Excellent. No Qs is disappointing, but we are improving.
