See all that grass? You think you’re hallucinating but you are seeing correctly. It’s the pristine Grand Prix field at the Paso Robles Horse Park, and that’s where we went to agility last Sunday.

It is fancy. I would like to go to all the agility trials there now, please.

My car is not fancy. It sort of embarrassed the pretty parking lot to have the shade shanty out there. And the high winds dismantled my nice shade thing my friend Ivette gave me. So we will be less shady in the future.

But the dogs stayed cool

Pretty cool. There was standing in the tub.

Our Q rate was low! This video does not show some of the large handling errors I made, crashing Banksy through one jump pretty hard, a lot of wrong tunnels. I edited out the bad parts and just put in my favorites for more happy making for me. And because I can. But we’re doing ok. I think we just have to practice more. I worked on driving hard through all the lines and tried to keep moving at all times. So sometimes, still have to decel! She hit all her contacts, and some of the dogwalks were HARD.

Gooey got to run, he didn’t win his Jumpers, his winning streak is broken. My sending dogs to wrong sides of tunnel was a Thing all weekend. We still had fun, I love running Gooey in Jumpers. We tried Steeplechase but he said NO NO NO to the poles, and what can I do? It’s Gooey. Gooey can do no wrong.

We hope we can go back soon!
