Today's Trial

Isnt this llama cute. What wasnt cute was our Excellent fast run this morning. So you wont see any pictures of that. At the time I couldnt figure out what went wrong. We just werent connected. Then I realized I didnt look my dog in the eye to make a connection before I released her. Why must every run be a lesson? So the whole run was pretty terrible. She was just all over the place. She didnt stop on her 2o/2o on the a-frame. Then she really started running and I called her back to me instead of just going with it. Im not sure what I was thinking.
So for our next run I needed to do things different. I took her and played ball with her for a while but it was really humid so she didnt last long. Plus there was this plank with feet in the area where I played ball with her. She kept jumping on it like it was a table. Hmm. Im not sure that was good for her to be doing. So I took her further away. I put her up before her next run to give her some down time before our run. I felt like we were more connected then the first run. But we missed some jumps and she seems slow to me. But over all it felt like a nice run. No circling or going off course. Its funny , I thought we did well. But after watching the tape to night, it doesnt look good at all.

I didnt stay for standard because my mom was cooking Easter dinner and I needed to be back home by 1:30. Just so you dont think we are total slackers. My husband got up at 5am with my mom to get the Turkey ready and in the oven before we left. We also brought several pans of food with us so my mom wouldnt have to make so many side dishes.
Of course my head has gone back to being worried. Why was she running slow? Why did she jump the contact? And just so you can see how crazy I really am. See this picture and how she isnt putting all her weight on her back left foot. Thats the first thing I noticed. Maybe its just because her foots in the water.
