I had a wonderful time judging UKI at Fusion this past weekend. It has been awhile since I have judged such a large trial. I was nice to see lots of new faces and have such a large beginners class. Thanks to the Show Committee and all those that volunteered to help. Hope everyone made it home safely and I will see you all at future events.

I had to pick up a few things at Tractor Supply yesterday. Brought Gajyeowa (가져와) with me. It was the first time with the Gentle Leader on and he was an awesome little man. We spent time just chill'n by the door, watching people come and and go out. Then we spent time by the dog toys watching staff stock shelves. My little boy is growing up.

Gajyeowa had his big boy exam and vaccinations. We worked boundary games and disengagement while we waited.

What a good boy!

Fun weekend at the Tails In Motion August USDAA trial!
Both days started with a light rain or mist, but the day quickly turned into perfect agility weather! Lower temps and an overcast sky. Tons of fabulous runs this weekend. We had two people demonstrate how quickly they could get up when slipping on course. Even with the wet start, the dogs seemed to love running on the grass.
Thanks to everyone who volunteered! This trial could not happen with out you.
Mark you calendars for next years trials. January 7 - 9 (On the Run), June 25 & 26 and August 13 & 14, 2022 In Little Falls. I'll be organizing another Canoe trip down the Mississippi on Friday August 12. Hope to see many of you there!

Fabulous day at the MN Renaissance Festival! The demos were so much Fun!! I want to thank all my volunteers that came out to help as well as having an awesome time with their dogs. Friday night set up, Lauri Duke, Jessica Sabraski, and Mary Bente.
The Saturday Demo, Mary Bente, Kim Schwendeman, Laura Waudby, and Katie Brittan. The Sunday Demo, Cristina Wessel, Leanne Wortman, Lauri Duke, Bret Duke, Jacque Hoye, Jessica Sabraski, Shelley Nichols, and Shari Vespested. We did 3 demos each day. Each demo was different. 34 weave pole challenge in the afternoon was a crowd pleaser, But racing the children (thanks Carla Mortensen for the idea!!) was the most exciting! We did a fairly good job handicapping the dogs course over the kids course. So sometimes the kids WON. Super exciting!! I'm sure all that attended has some fun stories to share. Hope even more dogs and handlers will come and join us next year!!
