Mach 2 Pie

Yeah Pie! She got QQ number 19 on Friday, missed her a frame contact on Saturday, then got QQ number 20 on Sunday in the pouring rain! Video here:

Pie is a great agility partner. She loves the game, which is the best part. When ever it is Fancy or Dottie's turn, she always gets excited, hoping I will pick her instead. Pie listens well and tires hard. She is getting so consistent, and is winning or placing more often. 3 weekends ago she came in first over 30 other dogs! Usually the 24 inch class is not that big.

Pie is wonderful!

Notice the rain in the picture!




Dottie also showed this weekend. She had an amazing jumpers run which did not get filmed. It was super fast and accurate, just one bar down. The rest of her runs were ok to good. Videos here:

Dottie now has 2 standard legs and one jumpers leg in open.

Dottie is mostly listening well. I hope she continues to increase her enjoyment of agility. She seems to enjoy it, but has "turned on" to it 100% yet. It might come with time.




Dottie checks out her ribbons from this weekend. My sister says the motivation for this scene is Scene: Cold, wet puppy. Lovingly wrapped up by owner after a hard day of work. Look pitiful and put-upon. Be sure to tip one ear over for extra cuteness. Work hard to make everyone forget that you were once called "Knotty aka Naughty". Restrain urge to nibble ribbon, thereby reminding everyone that you really are trouble and quite possibly should have retained your original name. And....action!





















Here is the final shot.

















I cannot get the formatting right! This is a picture of Fancy with what is left of one of the toys the dogs got as "check in toys." Fancy, Pie, Dottie and Molly had this toy for playtime and only the head and one antenna is left. They kept brining these pitiful remains for me to throw.















Pie's ribbons from the three days of agility. The small green ribbon is a Q but no placement and the large green rosette is a QQ ribbon. She had 2 QQs but the club on Friday did not give out QQ ribbons. The ribbon between her feet is the MACH ribbon.
