Our January Trial!

We made it through! We were missing Debi terribly, she had to teach a seminar and we did our best to hold down the PZ fort without her. Mother nature threw us a curveball by turning her "dusting of snow" into 6+ inches on Saturday. Those that braved the entire day ended up canceling hoopers and leaving early. In spite of the weather, there were lots of smiles, great food courtesy of the Road Kill Cafe and some killer runs! Totally worth the chaos of driving home on completely unplowed roads and then coming back on Sunday morning to do it all again! Agility addicts for sure! Our judge, Ben Philibert was nice enough to check with NADAC and squeeze in Hoopers as an extra class at the end of the day on Sunday so we all got our runs in which was fantastic.

There were MANY accomplishments at this trial. Some, very long awaited sweet victories that were a joy to behold. Thanks to Priscilla Warnock for the photos!
