The sad thing, is that I don't know until she's in the ring.<\/p>\n
Today is a good example. We had a horrible Open JWW run. Awful, and everyone said her nose was completely down and she definately wasn't listening.<\/p>\n
Part of it is the cold. I am so stiff from the cold I can barely move. We've had two days of overcasts 40 degrees and that barn just stays cold. So I understand that she can't be in the game.<\/p>\n
However, she had a fabulous Standard run. And the funny part was that I was just about ready to leave, and kept saying I was going to. <\/p>\n
By the way, here is a major irritation on my part. Someone decided to check in the Novice dogs and a bunch had decided to leave. Like there was an 8" dog checked in we couldn't find. Besides for me, I have a routine. I watch the course build, walk it in my head, check in, walk the course, go get my dog. It's part of me putting my own head in the ring. Having a bunch of dogs checked in who aren't there is irritating because the ring steward has to find them.<\/em><\/p>\n Back to the run … The only difference I can see was that she was really throwing behaviors and asking for food. Hate that little impatient bark, and usually put up the food as I don't want another criticizer.<\/p>\n However, she was taking everything I was throwing out her, and just a moments hesitation on her problem obstacles, in fact, she threw herself onto the teeter and it just took a moment of concentration to get her in the paint. Lovely. Weaves sucked, had to sniff each pole, but that's okay we were well under time according to the peanut gallery.<\/p>\n She took a second place, just seconds behind a Papillion and ran clean. Very nice! We need one more Novice Q.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The sad thing, is that I don't know until she's in the ring. Today is a good example.
