It's a wrap
Fun fun fun UKI trial yesterday wrapped up our competition year. Kona was a bit naughty but considering she hasn't been training I'm not too surprised. Merlin was awesome, he got better with each run, very happy with how he did. No video as the first person I asked for our first run said "no" and I got discouraged so I didn't ask anyone else for the rest of the day. Not sure why I feel uncomfortable asking people to tape me, it isn't like I haven't had a recording device shoved in front of my face on multiple occasions. Oh well, should have brought the GoPro.
No agility until the spring. Rolling out of bed on cold dark rainy winter mornings is enough of a challenge. I like giving my dogs a break and only hope that the tactic will prolong Kona's agility career. Merlin is much more sensible with his body, but he's structurally disadvantaged so I worry just as much about him. It would be nice to keep them sound and able to compete until they are 9 or 10, not the 7 or 8 that seems to be the norm these days.
The qualifiers for the US Open were raised again. Really kind of ridiculous to have to qualify for Speedstakes and Games now, plus get a bunch of byes. I'm thinking the big trip for the year will be the Canadian classic, who wants to come? 11 runs, international judge and outdoors in Alberta in August. I think this will be our big trip for the year, forget the US Open and Cynosport :)

and Christmas is upon us. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever is politically correct to say to everyone. I get to hang out, eat and watch basketball all day long. Hopefully Steph Curry and Lebron James will put on a good show.
