Sen's agility debut

In the beginning there was Sen. A package of fear and fearlessness, shy but curious, a rather risky selection from the puppy box, but there was something about her (apart from the killer good looks; photo by Hannu Gummerus).


Last weekend my belle went to her first agility trial, and ROCKED. Mama was so proud - a double Q and two 1st places on her first outing (4 results out of 6 starts even). Here she is with her certificates and pretty ribbons, and her new competition record book I bought her as a present for kicking arse.

 

It was a rather long journey to success, in more ways than one. After the intial hurdles of broken leg and international moves, there was still the matter of 600 km of desert driving, which means rather limited scenic variation.

 
We ended up having a fine time in Perth. While Bigi was stuck in the hospital, we travelled the city. Visited a few beaches, had some nice river shore walks, and generally good gal time.

 
Should we, or should we not go to the beach?

  3. Congrats to Sen and you!! Nice to hear she has improved so much and started to compete in a professional way. It would be nice to see some video footage of her (especially how she performs the poles nowadays).

    Ps. Would you like to have some snow too with that forest? Watching the news it could be helpful down there, huh huh!
