My near champion... my near runner-up... my qualifier... MY HEROS!!!

My "near" champion: 02 August 09 marks the first-ever trial for my dear Micole (#300). She was the first dog to start the OB trial for the day. She topped the heelwork and scored full marks for all the rest... except for the "fatal" recall... not that she didn't do... but she did it on the 2nd command... boo hoo... "ai-wan" ah!! Such a near miss to the Champion!!!

My "near" runner-up: Just 2 points away from the qualifying score, again dear Micole (#311) missed her runner-up placing... she missed 2 stands and an auto-sit. And she licked the judge's hand when he touched her on stand stay... judge commented that she's a very friendly dog... muahahaha!!!! Her recall is real fast this time... to the extent that she LP... and the judge had an "ouch" look on his face... :P

My Qualifier: Dear Schnappi finally made it!!! She got her PASS in her open trial, well not without some heart-stopping moments. Her heelwork was scored quite good, she made it thru her distance control and god-damn send away (which she always flunked). Then she got high and held on to the dumb-bell and towel during the last 2 exercises, refusing to give to Bb initially!! Her sit-stay was one of her best so far i think, then came the worrying down stay. She had those hallucinating moments... commando-crawl moments... rolling around moments (Bb call this "roti-prata" stance - flipping here and there)... so for her not-to-move for 10mins is rather impossible... she did got distracted and there was a min or so, she lied down poking her 2 legs in the air and nibbling her back!! Trust me, those were the worse heart-stopping 10mins in the entire trial!!

My HEROS: Bb - All the hard work for training the 2 noti girls. Micole - Although she missed the placings but nevertheless she was wonderful at her 1st attempt.. and we'll try again the next round. Schnappi - Well done!! Finally hard work paid off.. of cuz there's still lots of room for improvement!! But my hero and heroines, 3 cheers for u!! Hip hip hurray... Hip hip hurray... Hip hip hurray!!!
