Did 3 of the 5 days of the BARK trials in Hattiesburg, MS. I don't know how people manage 5 days! The stairs alone will do you in! This is a great venue - air conditioned! The first of the agility trials around here and always iffy for us because we haven't practiced much - too hot, or still raining!. Unfortunately, it shows, but we have fun anyway. Hopefully, Guy will get faster as he gets back in the swing of competing.

 Our runs were kind of crunchy: slow and sometimes awkward, but he passed and it's still peanut butter!

 Thursday was our first go at Open FAST preferred - He got it. I figure if he can do NADAC Chances, AKC FAST should be a no brainer!

 Friday we got our first leg in Standard JWW. We always go through slow weaves or pop outs at the first of the year. He blew me off on the send bonus in FAST - most dogs went in the tunnel, blew passed the teeter and took the other tunnel. Not Guy. He stuck his head in the tunnel, backed out, I made him go at it again. He just thought "Nope, gonna go over here and get on the teeter!" Apparently he was the only dog in the class to do that. Ah, Ridgebacks, you never know what they are gonna do.

 Saturday, after two days of being a one Q wonder, we finally got 2Qs - EX standard and another FAST leg. So now we need one more EX standard leg and FAST leg for the title and 2 EX JWW legs.
