The $75 ribbons

Today was another great day at the Dog Gone Fun USDAA Trial in Crosby, Tx. Shimmer and I had a fabulous Masters Jumpers run, but I being the bad handler I am changed my plan and ended up causing a refusal so very close to the end. Bad Mommy! We then had a very long wait but Starters Standard went well. I caused an off course tunnel, but she attempted the teeter again! Needless to say, silly Mommy I am, I said good girl too soon and caused her to hop off. Still, we are receiving numerous teeter attempts and that's what I love seeing-as well as confident dogwalks. Advanced Snooker went exceptionally well considering she was very tired. She ran so well and we even won the class! That was leg 2 for Advanced Snooker so I was very happy with her! Considering the entire weekend we had an amazing one! I was very proud of all the little improvements we have made and can't wait to continue increasing her confidence. She was happy and running for the fun of it and that's what made this weekend so great! It was good to see all of our wonderful friends again (thanks to all who filmed, encouraged, and loved on the Omelette Dog). Our friends had some pretty great runs, too! A good weekend for everyone! Now it's time to head back up to College Station for another week of school. However, my crazy test week is behind me so it's back to lectures and lab work this week. Little Shimmy will rest well considering she had a VERY exciting weekend. Thanks to all who made it so much fun!
