Sunset in Wisconsin

Photo of the Day - October 9, 2011

Teddy and I went to the TDAA (Teacup Dogs Agility Association) Petit Prix national tournament this weekend in Brookfield, Wisconsin.  We made the finals in 2009 when the tournament was held in Racine, WI.

Unfortunately, this isn't 2009 anymore.

We didn't do nearly as well as we did then, only qualifying once.  Not sure what the difference was, but it just wasn't going to be our year.

Oh well, we still had fun.  We spent a lot of time with friends.  Shopped.  Ate good food.  Took pictures.  Had a vacation day from work (and a bad day at agility still beats a good day at work!)

This was taken on Friday night.

Agility weekend

Annie had a great day yesterday at the TDAA agility trial. She ran twice in Superior Standard and Q'ed once. Missed the weave pole entrance on the second run, but so did several other dogs.

Today I filled out entries for Louie and Teddy for a day of AKC agility in Lake St. Louis next month. Louie is going to try novice preferred for a while...just until AKC decides to approve their rule revisions (specifically, the proposed changes for the lower A-frame height and proposed "any position" table. Guess I need to do some TRAINING to get them ready! Hopefully, the spring weather will help motivate me.

Someday, this blog will get more interesting!!!
