Bodhi's agility trial debut was this weekend, at a local NADAC
trial. After a bit of a rocky start to the day, we wound up running in
Novice
Tunnelers (we were supposed to be in Jumpers) yesterday, Q'd with a smokin'
hot run in 3rd place (we ran in the 20+ class--there were a LOT of
dogs...over 30). And, today we just managed to squeak under the course time
to earn a Q in our Novice Jumper's class.

Bodhi *loved* the Tunnelers class, and was totally amped up
by the nice crowd of folks who heard it was our debut.

Fantastic! I'm a big fan of smokin' hot runs! They're better
than Qs or placements, but when they all happen together, it's a
pat on the back to you and your dog's abilities.

Thanks Matt...we had such great time.
And, the photographer actually managed to capture a photo of
us from the Jumpers class:

(Agility was created by show photographers, wasn't it? I had told
him that it was our first weekend out & anything he managed to capture
of us, I'd buy! laugh)
