Today, Friday and I had a great run in Masters Jumpers - one of
those where you and your dog !click!

We also earned our first Q in Masters Gamble, but the first
place Jumpers Q in a competitive class still has my blood going.
I should quit now.

I wish I had a brag fo the day. We were at an AHBA herding trial. TSuki
and I definetly did not click. He had his own idea of how the hearding
should go - and clam and controlled wasnt it. So we left early. I
suppose I can take very small solace in two things - the judge has seen
him trial before, so she knows he *can* work with me. And he DID
listen, just not enough. As my firend who was watching observed it was if
he decided that sheep calmly walking were way too boring.

I've seen that happen with dogs on sheep and all sorts of other
dog stuff. It varies from the "Look! Something shiny over
there!" syndrome to a more staid "I'm in charge here, so take a
hike."

I like it that we can't even *begin* to second guess what's in a
dog's mind at a given moment.

Both very impressive. Bonnies a lousy gamble dog (I've spent too
much time getting her to stay with me so she now wont work away
from me. Oops. Makes her a very good snooker dog though).

Sounds like a nice weekend...

Heh. Finally, something that I've taught Friday took hold.
That final gamble opened with a sequence of "away" jumps. I've
been working on his "Go Go Go" (meaning keep going straight
until I say something different) because on straight-aways
there's *no* way I can keep up with him. Cool that it worked.

And another today! Maybe it wasn't a quirk.

Congratulations! Those don't sound like tiny brags to me.

I'm not one for bragging, but when I have a cool run, t'hell
with propriety. We had another today; lightening struck twice.

Awsome.

It really makes it all worth it, doesn't it.
