This morning we drove up to Los Alamos and Chase earned the first leg of his Rally Novice (B) Title. He scored 98 (out of 100 possible) points, and earned Second Place on the tiebreaker — our little short legs were faster than those of the other (big) dog that scored 98. We did it on grass — always a bugaboo — and the youngster who ran the course before us piddled between the 270 right turn and the about turn. Much to my delight, Chase elected not to cover her message with his own. He was such a good boy! The woman who won Rally Novice A kindly took photos for us.
Is it food? No, and he did not jump up on the judge! That’s progress.
Do we look happy? I certainly am!
Whether we had qualified or not, the drive back toward Santa Fe is always a spirit-lifter. Aren’t these wonderful clouds?
Good dog Chase!
Good Work, both of you!
Congratulations!
In that first picture, it looks like his (good boy) front end is fighting (and winning) against his (bad boy) rear end, which looks like he wants to jump really badly!
We’re trying very hard to find alternate greetings to leaping on people. I didn’t realize he was halfway up until I downloaded the photos.
WOW! Congrats on such a great score for you first leg! Chase set the bar awfully high for himself and his next leg!
Hooray! Good dog, Chase!
