Most of you probably know Steve. He’s the Agility Nerd. Steve is also a man of action. I had a post a little while back, something kinda whiney about, “Ooooh this sequence from Dirt Nite was so hard I almost hurt my delicate princess feet running it.”

And then I got very boasty because I was the only one able to get a dog through it on the first try. Although maybe or maybe not mentioned that I had screwed it up on my first first try with my first dog. Have you noticed that about dog agility ladies like me? We have like one nice handling moment and the we’re jumping up and down with a big foam pointy finger going, “Look at Me! Look at Me!”

Steve took them as fightin’ words.

Well, maybe not fightin’. Steve doesn’t strike me as that type. He is very, very nice. But being a man of action, as opposed to me, a somewhat lazy lollygagger who wastes precious time jumping up and down with a big foam finger shouting at the interweb and crawling around under bushes to listen to grass grow. And being a man of action, he went to work setting up the sequence in his beautifully landscaped backyard, and even videoed all his attempts at it.

Because I drew the sequence out totally not to scale and used things like little pictures of moons to illustrate agility items, he had to do this over again because he set it up wrongish. And I told him this, because, hell, I’m not shy. And off he went and did the whole thing again.

So not a nerd.

So here. Go watch Steve do this. Thanks Steve!
