I think the title of this post needs a bit of explaining, so here goes.
RAT (the Rainier Agility Team) has traditionally held its June NADAC trial in Lacey Washington. Now....we usually refer to different trials by where they are located. There is the Port Gamble trial, the Elma trial, the Ridgefield trial, and so on. This trial has been referred to as "Lacey" for quite a few years. Unfortunately, the field where this trial was held is going to have a building built on it and can no longer be used. I know, how annoying right? So the trial was relocated. However, that hasn't stopped people from called it Lacey. So the "official" name of this trial is now the TFKA Lacey even though it was held at Argus Ranch in Auburn this year.
Okay, now that I got that out of the way I can tell you about how the trial actually went. Daz did really good....for most of it anyway. There were a few sketchy runs here and there but for the most part we ran (well she ran, I walked) as a team. She got some Qs and some placements. She also finished her Open Hoopers title which was a bit exciting. That only took us 300 tries. Okay not really, but it did take about twice as long as it took to get her Novice Hoopers title. She is what I call "hoop-crazy" and whenever she sees a hoop she must run through it, so we have racked up plenty of NQs in that game for that reason. UNTIL NOW! Haha. I think we finally beat the hoop-crazies. That is wonderful news.
Here is the video:
I didn't actually take photos at this trial of the dogs running. I was just too busy doing other things (hmmm...like sitting around and relaxing...) but I was a "Follunteer Photographer" (aka, a volunteer photographer for Fido Follies).
At the TFKA Lacey there is an event called Fido Follies. It's pretty crazy, but a good kind of crazy. People and dogs get in costume, and do crazy things and bribe judges, and cheat, and all that good stuff. It's pretty fun actually. So here are a few of the photos from that:
