Camp Dogwood

We got the privlegde to go to Camp Dogwood for the weekend. She got to lure course and nearly lost her head! She was out of her brain for it. Spent the rest of the day trying to get it back in, but boy did she have fun. From there we went to the agility course where Kay was a bit off. She still hadn't come back from lure coursing. Then off to the lake for the final stop. This is where the bummer happened. While being a dork in the water she "broke" her tail. She had swimmers tail for the rest of the weekend. It happens...

Sunday we spent a lot of the day hanging out. I had to help with Flyball in the morning and the late afternoon, but our down time was doing just that - relaxing. We did go on a group hike that turned out to be a bit disappointing. It was supposed to be a hike and train, but little training and not so much hiking. Most people had to recall their dogs a lot, but by teaching Kay the auto-check in there was no need to. She kept running ahead and then coming back to check in. The rest of the day was spent relaxing in the heat. Being up in the camp area meant that we didn't have a bunch of people around and with an unused fire pit close by, we made the best of it. A fire going in the pit, the storm was rolling in. Yes a nice big one. We watched it roll in and then decided to retreat to the tent. Man was it a big one!!!!

Monday I took Kay down to the Rally mimi trial. It was a good course. The instructor had me go first and that I did. She was spectacular! No one wanted to follow her. Hey, we didn't volunteer. I wanted to go last for that reason, but the time gave me a chance to chat with this other lady. It was an interesting conversation. We left shortly after our Rally gig. It was a great weekend!

I wished that I would have been able to practice some of our obedience routine, but with a bum tail it was not in the cards...
