And it all starts up again! Yay!

New trials and doggy activities are already underway for 2011.  The girls and I went to a PACE AAC trial for our first runs of the year.  I don’t take too many AAC trials in so wasn’t sure how we’d do.  But it was a really great weekend with the girls super glad to be able to run around after weeks of being trapped indoors thanks to the crazy snow we’ve been getting.

I had gone into the trial determined to keep my focus on the fun and to stop worrying about whether or not we got Q’s.  And it paid off with a weekend that just felt and looked happy.  The best part was that we’ve been struggling with contacts and weave entries at trials and those improved immensely.  Tatum had one of the prettiest Snooker runs I’ve ever had with one of the girls, exactly how I’d planned out the course and making it to the end of the course with a 49 pt score.  The next day she also had a really nice Advanced Gamble run as well.  Not to let down her end of the happy-bargain, Echo had a nice Q in Advanced Jumpers (which is quite surprising as she’s seldom fast enough for Advanced times) as well as getting the final Snooker she required for her Game Dog title (SGDC).

A very nice start to the year and a NADAC trial calls out to us for the next fun weekend together.
