Lots of updates

Whew, it's been a whirlwind few weeks for everyone's favorite golden and his trusty sidekick.
We have been playing lots of agility and even got do some Dockdogs too.
This past weekend the food people to took us to a trial in Naperville.
It's a very nice facility other than the fact that it was about 1000 degrees inside. Which you all know is WAY TOO hot for the F Dog. But I pushed through and had some great runs.
I picked up a couple of Q's and a few MACh points. The food lady tried some different things with me this weekend and I think they might have worked. She started with me for my runs which I was really happy about. I don't think I like when she leaves me. It makes me a bit nervous. She also didn't baby me with my weave poles. Leave me alone food lady, I got it!!!
Ryder has some really nice runs too. He is doing a great job and having lots of fun. He kept trying to do the teeter, but we all know what a pansy he is and he isn't quite ready for a full height teeter.
Last weekend we did agility at the same place. Again, I had some good runs and some brain farts. But I am assuming all the brain farts will be gone but the time I am 5. :)
Ryder did a nice job last weekend too. 3 of his sisters were there last weekend too. They played agility too. He is the cutest one though. OH!!! I almost forgot. My friend Lori Sue asked the food lady to run her Aussie, Addie. I wasn't happy about this. The food lady should only play agility with me. But anywho, the food lady ran Addie and when they were done, my friend Sue runs into the ring with a fancy, sparkly bar and big huge ribbon. The food lady and Addie were really confused. Apparently this run was for Addie's MACh 6. The food lady almost pooped her pants. It was really nice of Lori Sue to let the food lady "get a MACh". That's what agility is all about, friendship and support. The food lady cried (shocker, I know). Lori Sue really likes me and my brother for some reason. Actually, I know why. When I was younger and much more immature, we were at a trial and I broke out of my crate and ran into the ring when Lori Sue was running Ryder's favorite Border Collie, Lit. The food lady was devastated and crying like a baby. Lori Sue told her it was OK, no harm, no foul. They have been good friends ever since. It's great to have good friends at agility.
Lastly, we had some Dockdogs to take care of. It was a ton of fun and the weather was amazing that weekend. Lots of my friends came out to jump. Dylan, Rumor, Marley, PJ (she jumped!!), Frankie, Ruby. It was fun to see my friends and show off. The food man and I placed 2Nd in the Masters Finals and Ryder took 4Th in the novice finals. The food lady even got to jump me and I caught my duck!!!! TWICE. It was really cool. I love playing Dockdogs. Word on the street is we are playing it the next 2 weekends.


For once, the food lady didn't screw up!!!
YEEHAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryder doesn't have quite the same jumping form as I do.
