Wow - I suck!
Has it really been since July since I've blogged? I guess Facebook is my blog. That suits me better. Short and to the point. :)
Well let's see... had a great time at Skyhoundz. Tali qualified for freestyle at the last chance qualifier which is probably one of the hardest competitions around. We were amazed and surprised. Spice came in 1st in microdog at the qualifier (very cool but not as hard to do as what Tali did) but that qualified her for worlds as well! A very very exciting day for us! Tali didn't have enough oomph to do 2 days of competition so didn't fare well at the actual worlds competition but she at least did better than last year. Spice did great for a baby dog with no routine finishing 8th in microdog! Can't wait to see what they do when they have a routine!
On to AWI Finals at Purina. Jack and Tali were qualified so we drove 17 hours to Purina Farms. It was a quick but fun trip. Tali did well enough to make the cut to the 2nd round but speaking of cuts, she cut her tongue in the 2nd round and that pretty much ended her routine right there as she isn't the type of dog that can work through that. :( One great thing from the weekend is that Jack played Groovy in D&A on Sunday and she did great! She's been doing pretty well at doing FS in public the past year or so but just hasn't been brave enough to play D&A - guess she has to get too far away from "dad". Well she did it at Purina and did awesome!
Canis Major season is upon us and Tali is doing well in SuperSport D&A with both Jack and I. Jack is judging freestyle again this year so isn't competing. I haven't been able to practice with Tali so I am just doing D&A instead of freestyle. Spice did well at the 1st Canis Major with me but has been dropping discs at the last 2 Canis Major. Not sure what that is about since she is normally a catching machine. The HUGE Canis Major news is that Groovy attended the last one and played D&A with Jack. Not only that but they placed 1st! Soooo awesome! I am so proud of her, she's come a long way! This event last year she would play FS but wouldn't play D&A.
We have 2 more Canis Majors and that will be it till January or February! It's been a great disc dog season and I expect next year will be a lot of fun. Jack's been putting a lot of foundation on Groovy and Spice the past few months so hopefully it will pay off come 2012!
One last new thing for us is our logo. We've finally got one for One Drop! Personalized DK Vaulting Vest and discs coming soon!
Oh yah - Jack and Groovy won best Freestyle in the Spooky Jam contest with PVybe.com - that's how he won the vest! Their video is below!
