Two Legs Are Better Than One

September 6, 2009

Left is the side on which I wear my watch.  Left is the side on which I wear my watch.  Left is the side on which I wear my watch!  I can remember that — you’d think.

So, Chase only scored 93 today — mostly because we had a “do-over”.  The sign said “finish left”, but I asked Chase to go around — shoot!  That’s to the right.  At least I caught it as soon as I did it and asked for a do-over.  He was great and I’m his schmuck of a handler.  It caused him to finish 5th, BUT, he received a green ribbon.

I handed the little Olympus to a steward and asked her to take a photo of the judge handing us the ribbon.  She tried — There are a couple in which the judge has no head.  (That’s what she gets for being substantially taller than I.)  So, here is the best of the worst, and a couple of photos of a cloudy sunrise from our Trial site that I shot when I first arrived.

Tomorrow — will our Chaser have earned his RN?  Left is the side on which I wear my watch!

    Ahh…the brain does funny things, and isn’t always properly connected to the eyes!

    Congrats!!I don’t remember placing at all… ever…. with Kota through his Rally titles, but *shrug* we had fun 😉 Glad you guys had a good run, despite the end! 🙂

    CONGRATULATIONS PENNI!! WOHOO!!

    I tend to over ‘train’ before I go in the ring, even during walk throughs and then when its time for the ‘real’ thing, my mind goes completely blank and I forget everything. This is especially entertaining for those ringside watching me run Sadie in agility 🙂 🙂

    Congrats again! Good Luck tomorrow!!

    Wonderful. Good luck for that 3rd leg tomorrow!

    Congrats again!! Nice work. BTW Scores are not listed on the title certificate, and to err is human.

    Woo hoo!! 2 down, one to go!

    Handler errors make me kick myself, too – which is probably why I always have bruised-up legs! 🙂

    Congratulations, another great day for both of you. But Penni, I can’t resist… “substantially taller”? Uh… errr…hmm 🙂 (Biting tongue)

  11. Left, right … these are mere details. You have a ribbon!

  12. Sandy says:

    Super duper you two! I’m very proud of both of you!

    Watch, what watch? 😉
