Busy times. I barely have time to blog. Today going to a fundraiser for dd's 4H dog club to raise money for a guide dog for a blind person. Tomorrow they will join in a Lion's Club festival for the same purpose. Next week will be involve lots of last minute training for the state fair agility competition.
I'm not sure dd is really ready for this. She still has trouble motivating her dog and also with positioning herself for the wing jumps. The dog will run with me, so I'm afraid that the problem is just that of a 9yo trying to work out her command presence and also trying to learn how to put together all the multiple elements needed for agility.
For several reasons, we have put freestyle on the back burner for these last few weeks. However, we may go to a workshop in August and that will perk our interest back up, I'm sure. I have devolved back into my old, heavy metal, rock and roll days to get some music with enough of a driving beat to get me moving at the necessary speed for these days. I would LOVE to do some freestyle routines to some of that, but most of it has objectionable lyrics. I wonder if the judges would even be able to understand the words...... I imagine they would be so surprised by some Green Day or old Van Halen that it might take them a while to figure out the lyrics and by that time, our 1:30 routine would be done! Although I suppose they could read my lips or hear my singing at the top of my lungs and that would give it away.
Oh well, time to go, gotta make a couple of stops before getting to the fundraiser.
Keep your paws clean and stay off the furniture,
Lori
