Easter Trial

There was a trial this weekend (Happy Easter world!).  It was a last minute decision so I only entered two runs with CeCe.  I was determined to get her weavers Q since that would complete her novice title and guess what? We came, we saw, WE CONQUERED!  It wasn't the prettiest but Im mostly to blame, I didn't run fast enough in the beginning (mind you, I struggle running in the dirt) and I didn't support her weaves.  One set she got excited about the tunnel ahead of the weaves and jumped out early which she has done many times before.  Note to self, practice weaving with a tempting tunnel in view. 

I never said why I was SO determined for the Q did I?  We are on a quest to get to the 2011 NADAC championships!  CeCe's estimated birthday is 8-8-09 so we were not eligible to compete until February.  That left us five months behind most of the other dogs wanting to qualify for champs.  So we're in a tight crunch to meet the requirements.  We certainly wont get our hoopers requirements with only five trials left, but Im pretty confident we will be able to make the rest and hopefully be accepted in (especially since Im a junior handler). Right now our points go as follows: 1/10 regular. Ok it looks really bad right now haha I was going to type the rest but it would be pointless since we haven't gotten anything else towards champs YET.  Take note though that we are ready to start accumulating in chances, jumpers, and weavers! 

Im going to digress a little and say that I would enjoy a new camera because taking agility action shots is a fun way to pass the time in between runs.  I just have a tiny little canon which takes beautiful videos but the action shots..well take a look:
