We tanked today

OK, the weather wasn't horrible, but it was cold and terribly windy. One sheltie got thrown right off the dogwalk in a gust of wind. But, those are not excuses. We sucked. 1 Q in jumpers. Clean but over time in Weavers, but in every other class Magic added contacts. Every chance he got to took off to the frame or the dogwalk. The courses today seemed a bit harder than the other NADAC novice courses we have run. Every course had at least 2 if not 3 off course twists. Every course had tunnels under both contacts, there was a 90 degree turn to the weaves. It just seemed hard today. I didnt count all the classes, but in one of the standard runs, over 30 novice dogs and under 10 Q'd.

Now, other than our extra contacts today, we had some nice moments. His chances run was lovely, except of course for that one foot on the ramp. He got the distance work fabulously! Probably the highlight of our day. So my face is either sunburned, or wind burned and the rest of me is still cold, so I think I will head to bed.

Awww, but I'm sure Magic had fun. I can't believe how chilly it was today.

You say it sucked, but it sounds pretty good. A Q in Jumpers and you nailed the distance in Chances? Also success in completing weavers just over SCT? Congrats!
