Great weekend!!


First, little Spur is doing much better. His bloodwork was back to normal on Saturday morning and he was started on food, tiny amounts every two hours. He just keeps getting better and better!! Phew!


Our USDAA trial was great fun!! Hampton Falls is always a favorite trial site. Lots of shade, places to walk the dogs, a pond, only just over an hour to get there. I missed our snooker run Saturday because of taking Spur for his blood check. Then left him home with Rich to rest for the day. We arrived JUST in time to run Roscoe's standard run. He was SO down and pokie, I took him off. I was bummed. The old......"stressed out, bummed out, slow pokie boy" was back. It seems to be an outdoor thing, but last year we thought we had it fixed. So, I gave him some Xanax. The rest of the day my old boy was back!!! He was ON FIRE, but a little TOO high and we made some mistakes. Colby was SO happy to be back outside and loved the cool weather and ran great for her first Masters run in USDAA! She blew her dog walk contact in her Grand Prix, but ran clean in her pairs (although her partner didn't!).


Sunday I went ahead and gave Roscoe a small dose of Xanax. He SMOKED every run!! Won his gamblers for leg number TWO.......wahoooooooooooooo.......we seem to have lost our curse in gamblers, he just did it like a pro!! He won his jumpers for his Masters Jumpers title!! He ran a LOVELY standard, but was a little too high and missed his down contact on the dog walk. Goodness, I think we have those fixed and everything falls apart at trials. I just HAVE to manage them better.


Spur came with us and was SO excited! Fed him his chicken and rice every two hours and brought a rice cake to give at treats when walking him around the grounds. Spur's "crazy monkey pants" were back on!!! Yeah!
