Tuesday Training 43
So much for more regular posting and updates.
I've been sick as a dog for the past three days or so. Horrible headaches, body aches, stuffy nose, swollen glands, aching ears, fever. NOT fun. I've cancelled a whole lot of plans in the past 72 hours (because for some reason, this "winter break" really hasn't been much of a break at all). As such, I've had absolutely no desire to blog or do anything other than sleep.
I did, however, go to agility class on Sunday night. I'm too tired to post much more than this, but here's one of the courses we ran:
My plan:
- Led out past 2 with Marge on my right to get her in to tunnel.
- Send her up the A-Frame, she's on my left until after Jump 8.
- Front crossed on the landing side of 8, as well as the landing side of 10 (of course, I put the number on the wrong side of the obstacle in Course Designer.. tire 9 - jump 10 should be a 180, not a threadle).
- Straight forward until the weave entrance.. and what a wicked entrance it was! But, Marge and I nailed it on the first try.
- Then, the course ended the same way that it started.
Though this was not officially a class -- it was actually a group lesson that I organized with my teacher and some fellow students -- this was our first time training at the Excellent level (that is, with other Excellent level dogs). We've moved on up!

Congratulations on moving up! I must admit I feel like a weenie re: your course. I'm realizing I don't know a whole lot about agility :/
Its seems like everyone in the blog land is sick with the same thing. You all have a blog virus. LOL I hope I dont get that. Feel better soon.
Man that angle to the teeter looks severe.
Congrats on moving up!
Diana, you're too funny. Blog virus...can you imagine?
Sam, I hope you're feeling better soon. This bug does seem to be going around, and it is not a pleasant one. Take it easy.
I'm not surprised at all that you and Marge have moved up to the Excellent level....you are excellent!
Congratulations!!! You sure did very well with Marge, what a fantastic team you are.
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well and hope you feel much better by now. Apparently a lot of people are hit by this nasty bug, so take a good rest, drink lots of fluids and have enough sleep too!
Congrats on moving up!
Sooooo sorry to hear you are sick, that sounds miserable ;=( hope you are taking care of yourself and hope you feel better soon!!!
That's great that you have moved up. A challenge is always good. Hope you feel better. Some of the humans around here have been pretty sick too. That time of the year.

Congratulations! That is a wicked weave entrance for sure. It's funny, I planned something else out in my head at first, but when I read what you did, yours made so much more sense. So thanks for that. I need to look at more plans like these, I think.
I hope you feel better soon!
Congratulations Marge!

Congratulations Marge!

That looked like a tough course that required some precise handling in spots. Glad to hear that you two nailed it... and congrats on moving up!
I can never do agility, I can't keep any pattern straight in my head. I tried step class so many times, and even after half a year I still couldn't do the routines because I couldn't remember the sequences. No doubt my dogs could do agility, just not me!
Excellent? Excellent! Playing with the big dogs now! :-)
But hey, take it easy and heal up. The blog will be here when you're feeling better.
