A bunch of our dog agility friends were big winners tonight! Congratulations to all of them.
Ashley and Luka won the 16″ Steeplechase, Nancy and Jim both placed in the 22″.
I think Nancy beat Jim by a little bit. I doubt Jim is mad.
But holy smokes, Rob. With Wings who is only 2 1/2 years old winning the Steeplechase Finals! I was a teensy bit sad for Hobbes that he didn’t make it into the finals. But he probably was having a nice nap while Wings was busy SMOKING IT out there. Super big congratulations to Rob and Wings!
Oh, wow, you are so laura-on-the-spot with actual photo captures from the video! Why didn't I think of that? (Because I'm not as clever as you–) I'm sure Hobbes would have made it if you had been there to egg him on.
I went to bed happy; I woke up happy. And may I mention that Wings knows ZILLIONS of tricks thanks to her silent partner Derede!
The theme song could have been worse. I thought I had dodged a bullet by them not choosing "You Are the Wind Beneath My Wings."

Yeah, Bette Midler movie soundtrack totally trumps Wings for weep-worthy theme song.
But, like, Pink Floyd Pig on a Wing! And a Patti Smith song about Wings. And the Queen song! And that Smashing Pumpkins song about a rat in a cage is something about Butterfly Wings. Marilyn Manson Scabby Wings! Many songs preferable to Paul McCartney and Wings! It is a slippery slope. Next year, it could be Venus and Mars are Allright Tonite! Danger!
Actually, Wings HAS a theme song: "I'm Alive" by Céline Dion. Check it out sometime. We're working on a freestyle routine for it (or rather, a shorter version of it that leaves out certain annoying romantic references, which are TOTALLY inappropriate for a tough girl like Wings.
GREAT photos, Laura! I'm going to make them my wallpaper (or would if I were as clever as you!)
Next year, you and Hobbes on the podium, yes?
nice dogs very talented..now rob has a theme song.by Paul McCartney & wings..how to stop dog aggression
Hey Celine Dion song is very good because as Wings becomes the triple famous dog for all her multitasking achievements, she might get a gig WITH Celine Dion. She owns part of Nevada I think but is not in the mafia because she's Canadian and has her very own casino and theater and everything. I bet Susan Garrett knows her. This is very good planning, Derede!
