    Had to brag

    Ok this weekend was the best weekend ever for me and Kota in agility.

    Kota and I began training in agility back in Jan of '05.  We had our first competition in Nov of '05 and he Q'd 2 times in TDAA, so I thought we were ready.   We did our first USDAA trial in Dec of '05 and boy was I wrong!  It took until '06 to get our first Q's in Level 1.  We didn't finish our level 1 titles until this year. (That means we had a total of 12 Q's)  This past weekend?  We just finished 3 of our level 2 titles!!!!  It took us less than a year to finish out 3 titles!  I'm so proud of my boy and the progress we've made this past year.

    We've struggled all along with distraction issues, stress issues and everything!  I've learned a lot and hopefully we can continue to do well and earn our Level 3 titles before he needs to retire.  He's almost 10 years old!!

    Here's a pic of the little guy on Sunday.

      

    And here is Kota and Tasha in the dash of our RV at the trial site.

    Way to go, Kota!  It sounds like you are improving in leaps & bounds.

    Congratulations to both you and Kota. I'm sure it had to feel great.

     Yes it did!  And seeing him have fun doing it was the best!!  There have been many runs where he just didn't look all that happy because he was stressed.

     Congrats!  It sounds like Kota's doing terrific!
