After training this morning I realized by this time next Friday the boys and I will be packing up and heading to the Sheltie speciality in Garner, KS. There are 2 dogs in Rally Novice and 6 dogs in regular Novice.
Goals: Moto confident and happy, Mom remembering which side of the sign to walk past and a qualifying/titling run.
Blitz to feel good and enjoy his time in the ring. Staying up on the Long sit. Remaining down on the Long Down.
I've been getting some nice work from Moto. He is maturing and becoming All Grown Up. I'm thinking of entering Wildcard Novice this June to gauge where we are at Obedience-wise.
This most likely will be Blitz's last time in the ring. I am giving him the kid glove treatment with training, 5 minutes at most. So we need to pack a lot of quality into that short time. We'll train steadily until Wednesday and then it's rest and cross our fingers. Whether we qualify or not, I want that beautiful floating prance of his and if I don't overdo it, we'll at least have that.
Today I'm going to look at the puppies again. Their little personalities are developing so I'll have a better opinion of how they will be as adults. They're gorgeous for sure but I need lots more than a pretty face.
Blitz and I are off to the vet today to monitor his disease and make sure all is well for him to compete next week.
So, busy day today!
