It's now only about 36 hours until Shasta formally enters the agility ring for the first time. We start with T2B on Friday, a nice way to start. But then it's the novice classes later on Friday.
I few weeks ago I was really excited for this weekend. Now I am excited and a bit apprehensive. Nerves? I don't think so but maybe. I think I'm a little apprehensive because of the lack of training. With the AKC nationals and my work schedule around it, I've missed the last three weeks of class. And this is the worst March ever here in 2013 in Minnesota. Temps literally never above 35 and no break in sight. So no outdoor/at home training in sight. Anyway, I would be more comfortable with debut if I had a chance to get to a few classes in lately. But life happens and I didn't.
Kris kept reminding me that I needed to do some sets of six weaves poles, which she hasn't seen since we moved to twelve in training. Finally, tonight, I got down to the pole barn and worked some sets of six weaves. The good news is we did about 6-8 sets of them and they went perfect. On the other hand, I then went to do a few sets of twelve and she did her first two or three but then started "double pole weaving" the last four poles. Oh well, she hasn't done much training on them recently (sense a theme here?), we are going to have get back to them more routinely. (side note, I hate that AKC still has six weaves in Novice, oh I wish they would change that).
So, Fargo here we come!
