I dont know what to tell you about this course except everyone ran it really well, except me. But thats ok, I was just happy to be running. Miley did go off course after the number 15 tunnel. She took that jump and went over the dogwalk. Of course I stopped running even though Meagan told me to go with her. She came around and got right on the table. "Good Girl"! Now go figure that out. LOL The only thing that I realized when I was almost home, yea I had almost 2 hours to think about things, was that I ran the course wrong. I kept setting her up on the other side of #1. Im not sure why I did that or why no one said , "Diana, you are on the wrong side of the jump" LOL. Maybe they did and I was just so happy, I didnt listen to anyone. LOL
Ive been reading everyones goals for the new year and if they met their goals from last year. I know I had goals for last year but the only one I remember is to get her Open Standard title. Well we all know how that went. That title is probably a pipe dream. Hmm wonder where that saying came from? I havent had the guts to go read my goals from last year yet. So this year I dont really have any concrete goals. I just want to keep my dog healthy and to learn to be a team on course. Once we become a team at trials then I can start focusing on other things.
Work has been really crappy and hard to get thur, just in case you were interested. Parents always seem to be mad about something. Thank God its Friday!!

So Glad Miley is ok. I know sometimes we worried too much if we see our dog twitch.
The course looked like an interesting one to run.
You sound happy in your post today, and I love your goals. I'm so glad Miley has a clean bill of health.
So happy that Miley had a great check up and is totally fine!!
I like your goals too and I'm going to make them our goals as well!
Sorry work is crappy - I don't know how you deal with all the parents - hang in there!
I was curious about "pipe dream" after you mentioned it so here's what it says in Wikipedia:
"A pipe dream is a fantastic hope or plan that is generally regarded as being nearly impossible to achieve, originating in the 19th century as an allusion to the dreams experienced by smokers of opium pipes."
So I doubt your goal to get Miley's OA was actually a pipe dream - LOL!
LOL, thanks Ricky . Thats funny! Diana
We are so happy to hear that Miley is back on course even if its the wrong direction :). We thought we were the only dogs that has a backward handler, two left feet or is it two right feet (mom hasn't quit learned her left from her right) LOL
Happy Blogging

That's great news on Miley!!
So nice to read a happy post by you. I'm glad you're happy :)
Happy Happy! :)
Well, I have to say that the good thing about always being late in reading everyone's posts is getting to read all the comments.
I have to totally agree that you and Miley getting her OA, is NOT a pipe dream. LOL
So glad to hear that her vet check went so well, and that you had such a good time at agility.
Ok, you and I should make a little club of people that have that elusive open standard title as our goal for this year! It feels like a pie in the sky goal for us too, the way things have gone, but, hey....we should attack that goal!! What software do you use to draw your courses? Your tunnels and weaves look way different then CCRD, unless you are doing tricky things Idont know about, LOL.
Kathy, the course design is a program call "iMap". It's for iPhones and iPads. I took the iPad with me and just drew the course right on it. It's not as advanced as "clean runs course designer" but works great for class.
Wow, that is really neat, that would be so handy to have at class or seminars.
