and Geisha turns 1 1/2

recently spayed (one of the brithday gifts for Kenzo) she could only be on leash in the park, so why not testing her focus on a little stacking exercise...

Happy Birthday Kenzo!!!

Our boy turned 4 today :) It was a wonderful sunny day! We had a relaxing morning on the couch, the dogs enjoyed turkey neck for lunch and then we headed for some fun in the park: impressive dance moves racing to the ball
being a bit funny can't hurt ;) and relaxing in the sunlight
We hope all his siblings had a likely fun day!

this weekend

we moved from the comfy couch onto the exciting race field :)
Geisha got ASFA certified on Saturday (part of the run video - in yellow) and we decided to enter both the next day as the weather forecast looked promising. After a fabulous 1st run (video for Part1 + Part2 in pink), the newbie got hit and fell at the first turn in run 2. A bit confused what just happened she didn't follow right away, visited the judge and would have come back, but the lure and the 2 competitors came around and immediately she picked up again. I was very glad she did this and finished with a lot of enthusiasm :) Kenzo had an OK 1st and a solid 2nd run in yellow. (video Part1) Unfortunately our running mate caught the bags in the first run... Kenzo made a death-roll when he came there and ended up completely tangled in the stopped lure and bags. A re-start followed (video Part2). In run 2, he was the one who stopped the run with a catch (same spot) and another re-start :) It seamed like it wasn't the best day for us, so we didn't take any chances and forfeited for a 4th place.
