We also had a wonderful note from Debbie Hanson in IL. Debbie attended an agility trial with her Rose (AKC/ASCA CH Rainyday's Roses Are Red) daughters, Remy and Flicka. Debbie writes:
We had a fun weekend of CPE agility out on the
prairie in Onarga, IL. Saturday was cloudy, chilly, and VERY windy (nothing to
stop the
wind out there!) and Sunday was cool, calm, and not a cloud in the sky. At one
point on Sunday afternoon, I put on those shorts and
that T-shirt that I had packed with a hopeful spirit! I'm bragging on a new
little girl tonight -- and that's Flicka! She's Rose x Baker, 19 months now. She
experienced just her 2nd and 3rd days of agility trials as a competitor and
ended up with 7 Qs in 10 runs for the weekend! Granted, she's playing in Level 1
and 2, but we get better as a team with each run. She earned Level 1 legs in
Jackpot (gamblers) and Wildcard, a leg in Level 2 Fullhouse, two legs in Level 2
Jumpers and two legs in Level 2 Colors. All Qs were 1st places!! I have moved
her up to Level 3 for the Colors and Jumpers games this weekend but may regret
what I wish for.....she'
Remy wasn't too shabby this weekend either. She had 9 Qs in 10 runs, all in
Level C where you gotta be clean to qualify. The only major
CPE title she's working on these days is C-ATE, and she's still only about half
way there. Her Colors run in 9.90 sec yesterday was great
fun!
Hope all of you had fun with your doggies this weekend!

Then Saturday we got our first MX leg and Sunday We got our second MX leg. We ended the weekend with a total of 20 Mach points.

What a weekend... we stayed home while Kate recouped from surgery, but everyone else seems to have had a wonderful time!
At the ASCA show in Whitesboro... I think this note from Danielle Pugh is a pretty good explanation of the weekend she had with her boy Jackson (AKC/ASCA CH Rainyday's Remember When AKC/ASCA CDX RE OA AXJ RS-E JS-O GS-E OAC NCC TG-N HSAs STDs):

I had a very interesting
weekend at Glen Rose. Saturday, I entered Pete in Open A, Excellent Rally
and Indi in Advanced Rally. It turns out that Onofrio messed up my entries
and they would not let me show Pete in Open A even tho I was in the catalogue
and picked up my number. I did not realize there was a problem till I was
about to walk in to the ring. I was not listed in the Judges book!! Lots
of drama, I was not able to show Pete so I went to the Rally ring where I was
the next dog in. I told the ring steward to check the Judges book as I
just had issues in Obedience and I would be right back with Pete. When I
got back it turns out AGAIN I was not in the Judges book..........They had to
call the Onofrio rep back over and more drama. He looked at me and said he
wished it was not me AGAIN.......He wrote me in the book so I could show. Why
could he not write me in the Judges book for Obedience??? Anyway, I tend
to be a little emotional :O) I was so upset that Pete would not work for
me. Can you blame him when his mother just had a break down??!!! I
put Pete up and went to have a discussion with Onofrio. They are refunding
my entry for Obedience but not Rally. They did fix my entries for the rest
of the weekend. Good news is I was able to show Indi in Advanced Rally and
finished his RA TITLE!!! Sunday, I entered Indi in Open A,
Excellent Rally and Pete in conformation. Indi's debut in Open was good.
He had a 191 1/2 before the out of site sit. He decided to lay down.
Oh well, good first try. Indi then picked up his first Excellent
Rally leg!!! The best news of the weekend is Pete only needed 4 singles
and he took a 4 pt. Major to finish his CH!!! Now to work more on the
performance side!
We also heard from Cherie Gessford in CA that she and Burns competed in their
second CPE trial on Saturday. There were five runs and Burns qualified in all
five and completed two new titles!
Courtney Bell also had good news. In OH, her girl Panda (AKC CH Rainyday's Pandemonium) was BOB and a Group 4 on Friday, BOB on Saturday and BOS on Sunday. Courtney is in FL with Token (MBIS AKC CH Rainyday's Reason to Believe). Token has already picked up several breed wins and group placements on the tough FL circuit.
