Blue Ribbon Boo-Boo

Thanks to Gary Platt for sending me this picture! What a great weekend! I saw some friends I haven't visited with in quite awhile, and everyone had a good weekend, too. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with the performances Moto turned in this weekend. No, it wasn't what I had in my head as the perfect picture, and he was a bit distracted but he stayed on the money and had a great first experience in the ring. As you can see from the picture he had as good a time as I did. We were shocked to find out that on Saturday we had a perfect 100, earning us 1st place. Today I made some handler errors and walked on the wrong side of the Rally signs. We still qualified but had some substantials which cost us a placement. But the good news is Moto really did well and again a bit distracted but stayed on the marked and did better than I had ever expected him to. He definately needs more ring experience so we will be continuing with Rally and looking for some Wildcard classes.
I'm pleased he enjoyed himself and did his job. There's obviously room for improvement but what a guy, and what a wonderful start to his obedience career - well done, my Boo Boo Bear!
