While I was at the groomer Poppy helped momma pack up the car with the trial accessories.
The next morning we were up furry early to get to the trail site. Look at that sunrise.
We were team 105.
Mrs Oldham had to run her dog Kate in Detective first then Novice HD would be called. Momma relayed the info to me and a couple of other novice handlers that missed the briefing.
About 20 minutes later we were told to line up. We made our way out to the red dirt arena. We were near the back so we had a bit of a wait and I decided....
...to just make myself comfortable. #SplootLife Much to mommas horror. I just got my hair done and I was sprawled out in the dirty dirt. BOL
As we moved up closer to the front of the line. Momma kept my attention while we played...
....a little game called....
....Glove! Call alert momma its right here!!!!
Back at the crating area we got a pic of my ribbons.
Affixed them to the door for safe keeping....
...then I literally fell asleep.
We checked on Poppy again and here is what we found. Shes still glitching. Poor sissy!
Trial 1's scores posted around lunch time. In my first HD search I got 4th place with a time of 20:10 seconds and 0 faults.
Trial 2's scores didn't get put out and we were both tired so we decided to head home since we were done with runs.
We handed my glove off to the ring steward and my box was placed. We approached the start line, Momma showed me the glove finger and asked me to search. In HD there are 2 rows of 5 boxes. I went down the left side, up the right, rechecked a few of the boxes, made my selection and looked at momma. She called alert and we were told "Yes that is correct!" We collected our ribbon and went over by the stairs to wait for the box to be rehid. We approached the second start line, momma gave me the glove to sniff and asked me to search. I went down and back again. Sniffed a few boxes a second time to ensure I had the right one and gave momma the look. She called "glove" but quickly corrected herself and called alert. Silly momma! We were then given a chuckle and a "yes that is correct". We were given our 2nd ribbon and our HD box with the glove inside. We found a quiet spot out of the way to take a pic. Just me and my box!!!!
After my power nap we momma grabbed a "rig" pic. Complete with my HD box and all.
This is Junior from Kansas City. He was crated next to us. He did Novice buried and q'ed as well. Way to go bud!!!!!
We will get the times tomorrow.
Smooches,
Lucy
