Capital City Fun

CIMG0035 (1)

Our friends at the Capital City Canines put on an AKC agility trial last weekend at one of our favorite show places, a YMCA camp not too far from us.

While Robot (aka MannersMinder) babysat Cadence.

We like Robot because it rewards Cadence at variable intervals with kibble. This keeps him quiet and entertained while we go about  our agility day.

Maebe and Django had three runs over two days.

They both got new titles, with Maebe getting her Novice Agility and Django getting his Novice Jumpers.

P1020659

Titles (and placements) aside, what made the trial fun were all of the other factors. There were friends. There were puppies. There were friends with puppies.  There were dogs we like to watch perform.

For me, my favorite moments were watching my wife and Django work as a team and me working with Maebe as we attempted to get a perfect score in the FAST class. And we would have if she had kept her bars up. But, still, it was a blast.  Guess what we’ll be working on before the next trial.
