We're not dead! Sorry I've been slow in posting of late. We were all away on vacation last week, so we don't have much agility news. It was a great week, though, and Jonah got to go on lots of walks, hikes, swims and some camping, too. Then, it's been raining nonstop ever since we got back. I walked back to the agility area and picked up a branch that had fallen, only to grab right onto a slug. The branch was covered! Anyway, I'll try to get a course together and run it as soon as I feel it's safe. When it's wet, Jonah has been known to slip off the dogwalk, which is not something I want him to have many memories of.
I did try to take Jonah to a run-thru at a new facility last weekend, but I didn't write down full directions--only the address. I plugged it into the GPS but it took me to a dead end road where there was clearly no dog facility. Oh well. We went to a dog park instead and Jonah was great with the few other dogs that were there despite the rain.
I had a moment's panic when I realized I hadn't moved Jonah up for this weekend. I checked the final move-up date on the premium and it had past! It would have been too bad if we couldn't get credit for two of our three runs at the trial. When I looked closer, though, the final move-up date (3 weeks before the trial) was earlier than the regular closing date (a week and a half before the trial). That seemed odd to me, so I went ahead and emailed to see if I could move Jonah up. The secretary sent me a lovely reply and moved him up! I was glad I'd done it, because I was worried she would be upset for a request that didn't comply with the premium. Phew. I'll send a trial preview once I get the schedule.
