Sorry Mom!

Today I had my very first REAL agility match!

Yep no more silly "fun matches" for me! I'm the real deal now!

(well sort of)

 

The first class was called Full House. Different obstacles were worth different points and at my level  I had to get 19 points and then go to the table....Hmmmmmm...

Good thing it was the first one. I got to zoom around and Mom could sort of just point to obstacles and hope. IT WAS SUPER FUN!!!! Mom didn't seem quite as thrilled with the zoomie action.

Sorry Mom!

 

The next class was standard. I thought I had this one in the bag. We practice this all the time in class. But as you can see by the cone I got a little confused. Ok a lot confused and I jumped some jumps the wrong way.... (I may have done the tunnel backwards too....whooops) 

Sorry Mom!

 

After that we had a little break so we went back to rest in the car....Turns out Mom still loves me even when I forget my brain...Phewwwwwww

 

 

The next game was called Wild Card. This one had a course (unlike Full House where you made up your own) but it had certain choices you had to make between obstacles that were worth more points. We almost missed this class because of our break and walk....Whoops!

I kinda flubbed this one up too. We did really well and did everything well... and then I saw the guy videoing near the out gate....I got so excited I missed the last jump! 

Mom was very sad....But she gave me a hug and told me she was proud that I was mostly listening so well today and trying so hard.... 

Sorry Mom! 

 

 

We hung out for a while near the rings so I could get used to the chaos. I'm not allowed to wear a collar when I run. Don't I look good naked!? 

 The last class was Colors. There are two different colored courses and you have to pick one. 

Easy right?

  Sadly my brain was a little fried at this point and I sorta blew off the last jump again... and just circled it and then tried to leave...

Sorry Mom!

 Good thing she still loves meeeeeeee!!!!

I had SOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun today! And I'm SOOOO tired! 

 I hope Mom wants to do this again with me! PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!

P.S. Another exciting thing also happened this weekend but I'll tell you about that later
