This weekend my brother Logan, who is 2 will be competing in agility for the first time. Mom is a bit apprehensive about his first outing in agility, but hopefully he will surprise her and have a good showing. I will report on his runs as well as mine and Tucker's next week.

Tucker and I went to Hatfield, PA for an indoor agility show at the BucksMont facility today. It was a nice facility but it was a long day, as it was only two rings, with 850 runs. At least we were in air conditioning, though we would have liked it to be a little bit cooler. Mom did have fans for us, so that helped keep us cool.

Tucker's first run in Open FAST didn't go well, as he decided to sniff the big dots on the soccer field. Knowing Tucker, he probably thought they were edible.

On the other hand, my Ex JWW run was great. Mom says it was probably the best run of my 7 year agility career. It was a clean run and under time by 3 seconds, getting me my first Ex JWW Q. Mom doubted I would ever run fast enough to get an Ex JWW Q, but I proved her wrong. Though I didn't Q in my Ex Std run, I was clean on a difficult course.

Tucker's runs were not as clean, but he did get his weave poles on his JWW run...always a good thing.

We are not showing in August, as Mom wants a little time off. Our next show will be CPE in September.

First run of the day on Saturday Tucker Q'd in Open JWW. He now has two Open JWW Qs, after only getting his Novice JWW title in February. His jumping has improved. I guess losing a few pounds didn't hurt either. On the other hand, he earned his Novice Standard title two years ago and is yet to get an Open Standard Q. It seems to be either a knocked bar (or 2) or missed weave poles.

As for me, I had a few good runs, but no Qs. On Sunday it was beastly hot, so Mom wasn't pushing us too hard, Our next show is in July indoors in air conditioning, hopefully Tucker and I will do better under those conditions.

It was like old times, just me and Mom off to an agility show. Tucker again has a toe problem, so we left him home to heal. I ran four events and earned 2 Qs (Standard and Colors) with 4 First Places.

I was a bit inconsistent today. My first run, I decided to go visit the judge right off of the start line. It was Fullhouse and Mom had to redesign her course and I came up 5 points short of a Q. Then in Wildcard, I decided to take all the B obstacles, when I was supposed to take one A obstacle...you would think I'd get a bonus for that, but no such luck.

So I have a few more Qs toward my Level 3 titles. Hopefully I'll title at the next CPE show.

Tucker and I came through for Mom on Mother's Day weekend at the SICDTC agility show. On Saturday we had some rain in the morning and it was very windy but on his first run Tucker earned his first Open JWW Q with a first place...Mom was so happy. The rest of the day we had some good runs but no Qs. There was some excitement though as a pop-up tent went barrel rolling into the ring. Thankfully no one was hurt and the show continued, though all of the tents were taken down so we were out in the sun.

Sunday we again were experiencing gale force winds, but I was able to get my first Excellent A Q in Standard with a first place (maybe the wind helped me run faster). Making it a special day for Mom as it had been a while since we both Q'd at the same show....Happy Mother's Day Mom!!!!
