Heyyy all! Apologies for posting so late It's been a loooong day, and as soon as we got home, me & the girls completely crashed on the bed xDD
Anyway - on to the good stuff!
Today there were 5 runs - 2 standard and three games. The day started off with Vegas Blackjack. The object of the game is to score EXACTLY 21 points - no more, no less - in under 60 seconds. Once you do that, you have the choice to perform one of two (or both) "gambles," which are basically sequences the dog has to perform at a distance.
Pixie was PERFECT! We got all 21 points, under time, but decided not to even bother with the gamble, lol. She got a Q and 1st place
Kayla started out well, but she's really shy in public (we found out today, lol) and got lost on the course. So, no Q, but it was a good experience for her
Next was a standard run. And neither of them Q'ed xD Pixie got freaked out by the teeter for some reason, and she jumped off before it hit the ground (fly-off). Other than that, she was clean ^^ Kayla was also clean up until the table. The judge said it was a stand on the table (in TDAA it's either sit, down, or stand) and she got confused and jumped off. So again, no Q, but yes fun
Next was another game, called Weakest Link. It's kinda hard to explain, but basically you pick your own course (the obstacles have different point values) but you your next obstacle has to be worth as much as or more than the previous obstacle.
Pixie Q'd and got 1st place! And Kayla left the ring to potty, lol.
Next was another standard, the last standard of the day. Pixie did not Q (she freaked out about the teeter again), but she got 1st place anyway (because none of the other dogs Q'ed either and they had more faults).
Kayla's run, however was BEAUTIFUL! She Q'd and got 2nd place! A friend of ours, Karin, and her sheltie, Kiwi, were two seconds faster than us, so they took home the blue ^^
And lastly was Weavers, a course made of only tunnels and weaves. Pixie was entered but I didn't bother with Kayla...she's still learning, lol. Pixie did not Q, but brought home 3rd place ^^
So yesssss, overall a VERY successful weekend! And perhaps the most exciting news...
Pixie earned her TG1 (Teacup Games 1) title!! Her first title ever! So now she gets to run in intermediate
So thanks to everyone for wishing us luck, I think it worked! And don't worry, pictures are coming as soon as I can get them resized ^^
