Obedience and Agility in the same weekend?

We tried it... lets just say probably not again! Dora was first in the ring and got thru everythign but not as pretty. She was in the down and she jumps up scratches and lays back down. She obviously knew what was suppose to be done!

Belle then stole the show. They had fans and a/c going a bit too much for her liking and Isabelle decided to stop and roll herself on the matting. It did bother her but then she must have knew people thought it was cute because it was all down hill from there! Belle is a performer and was a famous actress in a previous life. If she didnt get enought people to watch her on Saturday, she had a bigger fan club on Sunday. She actually listened pretty well. I did have to give a second command on the off lead because she stopped to watch everyone watch her. Then the down came and Belle did a roll over... okay she wants attention. But then she jumped up! I told the judge she could have her but knew she would give her back the next day. Lots of people said they had no idea little dogs could have so much personality.... well Belle has more than enough! Owning a Diva is hard work!

Dora had her second chance but it wasn't pretty. We lost quiet a few points because Dora went to the right side on the heel free. It took me a minute to remember to use my second command. She was in heel just on the right! She ended up taking third place though. The best part was this trial site gave you a gift certificate to go shopping at their store! Dora had a few toys from the day before so we got her a purple slip leash for the next agility trial!
