Got all of Usher's ribbons


The ones on the left are from Sat. & the ones on the right are from Sunday. Guess Usher did better Sunday- no red. LOL.

I was pretty low before my lesson today, but now I've perked up- thanks to a pep talk from Kelly. Here's bragging rights for Mama and Kelly did all the work.

The ASCA Trial

I chickened out and let Kelly Orr run my dog. Sure glad I did as I fell a couple days before, hurt my knee and my head, which brought on a dystonic attack. For those of you at the trial, you were lucky enough to see one. Not fun.

I came home right after Usher's run on Sunday. So, I don't have his ribbons for Sunday. All the girls did real well. Hopefully at the Couch's trial, we can see more of each other.

Kelly did such a good job. I skipped this Tuesday's practice. Still too shaky. When I pick up Sunday's ribbons, I'll post more pics. I would not have this many if I ran him myself!!!!

It was nice there some ran trained dogs, some ran their own dogs, and I had my dog ran for me. I think everyone had fun. Did I say thank you Kelly? LOL.
Just 9 the first day ~smile~

A little of this and that

I haven't blogged for awhile. Haven't fallen off the face of the planet. Just busy. I'm hoping that Usher is ready for the ACSA trial, but since I decided I'm not running him, I don't feel like throwing up all the time. Wondering if it's just me that gets nervous weeks before a trial.

I had a much better lesson last Tuesday. I STILL get mixed up with my byes and aways. The only real trouble with that is Usher really takes a command well and it shows what an idiot I am. Gotta keep reminding myself that my dog has only seen sheep maybe 45 times in his life. It's not like I can go out the back door and practice.

Since some BC trials are coming up, I need to get to Dianne's and refresh myself with the rules. Why am I more comfortable at these trials?

Now for the bad news. It won't be a very happy Mother's Day here this year. My daughter-in-law is 5 months along and was cramping and spotting. She went to the Dr. yesterday and there is something wrong with the babies heart. She will be seeing a specialist ASAP and they will be doing surgery through Mama to the baby, so any prayers or mojo much appreciated.
