2nd set of AKC Agility Qs

We were signed up for Standard and Jumpers on 12/29 and 12/30. I overslept on the first day, so we only got to do Standard. Cai was wild. He ran super fast! And blew past 3 obstacles! And slid off the table! And of course missed his weave entrance. By the end I was laughing at him so hard that I had to stop at the weaves to catch my breath. One of my friends took a video of this glorious run:


The next day was back to normal. Cai was his usual fast rather than "omg I can't keep up," and he didn't blow past any obstacles. He did miss a couple of turn cues when he was distracted by things outside the ring, but both runs were qualifying. Got weaves on the first try in both runs, if I remember correctly. (It's all a blur now, since Terra came down with pneumonia that afternoon, and then I got sick as well.)

Our next trial is mid-February, and hopefully we'll get his Novice titles in Standard and Jumpers! I'm not running Time 2 Beat or FAST yet because I can't handle those extra mental challenges.
