congratulations to Mme. Pascale Leclerc, who has surely just experienced both the funniest and most unhinged weekend a mother could ever have. Dear fucking christ, I hope your middlest son brought you a bottle of champagne for yourself, ma'am.

If there's something that really pisses me off is when someone tells me "Eat as much as you want, I don't care" and then they say "Hey, don't eat too much and eat well 🙄"

Like... Decide :/

On one hand, I feel horribly guilty for having a couple weekends where I've committed to absolutely nothing to the point of backing out of volunteering at a local dog show.

On the other hand, I have dog sport events literally every weekend and practice or class at least twice a week throughout the entirety of October and November. I think I get a free pass for a couple weekends.

Our rally trial today was interesting. We didn't qualify on either run but still managed to place 1st out of 4 pairs. I felt the courses were really complicated, and guess I was right, considering there wasn't a single qualifying run in our class. Very unintuitive course layout and not a lot of space (despite the trial being held in a large open field, so I have no idea why the organisers chose to set it up like that). The footing wasn't entirely even either, and at one point we had to do a moving down while running downslope. Kaija did it but... honestly, why set the course up like that?

Something I should keep in mind next time - I was worried about the moving down, so I practiced it multiple times before going into the ring. And on the first sign (halt-stand-walk around) Kaija went into a down instead of a sit. Good lesson for me! While it makes sense to practice the signs I expect to give us the most trouble before starting our run, I need to be more mindful to avoid creating confusion for Kaija.

We only had three weeks to work on our right-side heeling & all the new RO-3 signs, and our lack of prep definitely showed at times. But despite that, I cannot tell you how happy I am with Kaija. She not only learned all these new skills in a very a short amount of time but was then able to perform them at a trial, with no (immediate) reward and the added pressure of a trial environment. In the end, we were only two points short of a qualifying score on our second run and even received compliments from the judge. Gonna keep working on it and get ready for our next trial at the end of the month!
