Ok, back to the trial. This was an outdoor trial, which was the first outdoor trial for Darby and maybe the 2nd outdoor trial for Brindi. This shouldn't really be a big deal because we practice agility outside. But, this was a different location for me and my girlz to do agility. And it's finally feeling like autumn here in Southern Indiana, which brings out Brindi's wild side :) Brindi didn't even notice me out on the field with her. She did the first obstacle and then went crazy running around the place. Another distraction for her was the little girls doing the leash running. Usually Brindi doesn't pay much attention to the leash runners but these girls kept trying to get her attention. Good GRIEF!! Brindi really wanted to play with these little girls. Oh, well.
Darby was more focused on me. We actually completed the courses. Albeit, she had some refusals and didn't qualify, but at least she was there with me.
Sadie and Cosmo enjoyed hanging out and getting all that fresh autumn air without the hassle of running and jumping :)
All the girlz were passed out for the entire 2 hour drive home and were still worn out that evening. Pretty sure they enjoyed having the house to themselves on Monday when I went back to work :)
Next trial is in a few weeks in at Purina Farms, near St. Louis. It's the Border Collie Specialty and Brindi and Darby are entered. Can't hardly wait for this one. It'll probably be the biggest show we've ever entered. There will be herding, agility, rally, obedience, and conformation (I think). Should be a LOT of fun!!
