The Work Always Pays Off

It's been a long day.

Of awesome doggy-dog-ness.

Today was agility trail day.

A day of course maps, bitter cold, weird negotiations with four legged companions, and - best of all - fun.

For now, check out the adventurous nervous dog taking a leap at life.

By the way, have I ever mentioned that Kittie took three years to get to a point where she could not only perform with other people (she's afraid of people) and dogs, but to actually let go of the fact that they were there and just have some fun? 

Yeah. 

Check her out.

This is fun. 

All the way.
(You may want to turn down the volume.... a lot)

And yes, I did literally jump for joy at the end.

I know I got first place and everything, but I could have shaved off at least a second or two if I'd set her up to slice some of those jumps -_-;; Stupid handler.

Yay for LVL 1 CPE 

Ahem.

KITTIE GOT FIRSTEST PLACE!!!!!!

And I am so proud of her. ^-^;;


Oh! Since I have the privilege of running alongside one of the best agility coaches/handlers in the nation (<--I gave him that title, but if you worked with him, you'd give it to him too) here's his video.
PS: I  TOLD YOU NOT TO FRONT CROSS THERE.
I almost want to add nananananana TOLD YOU SO!
But I'll be mature about this.
*cough*
