I had Diva and Darla entered in just Novice Standard at the Pensacola Dog Fanciers Agility, Obedience and Rally Trial this weekend. Sadly, I had only practiced with Diva once in the month of December and with Darla twice....Why?? Well, because about the second week in December I threw my back outta wack and could barely move.

But, off we went to the trial.....hoping for the best.

On Saturday, Diva was so wound up that she jumped the down contact on the A frame...She NEVER does that! She bobbled the weaves, but did them...not her best obstacle, but other than that she did fine...NQ because of the down contact, but overall not bad for one practice this past Monday.





Darla did wonderful and got her first Novice Agility leg with a clean run and first place!

Sunday, Darla was like dead in the ring... missed a jump, was slow, didn't want to down on the table, didn't want to weave, went over time...blah, blah, blah. Turns out she had an upset stomach, so I guess I can understand not feeling well. I love her still and think she's brillant.

Diva blazed through her course....only stopping to check out some mallets someone left in the ring...she is so curious. She had a clean run and got first place! I didn't realize until I got home that her qualifying run was for her title, too! She can now have NAP behind her name! Go, Diva!
