Groceries

Kludde does help with bringing groceries in the house on actual shopping days. 

Dog walk

Camera phone limitations, shadows, and stealth Dutchie strips limits the enjoyment of the first long, fast pass but fun none-the-less.

 

Extreme Vertical practice

Six foot seven inches best for today.  Not fabulous but an improvement over last time.

(You may want to turn down the volume before clicking; I was cheering and holding the phone.)

Big thank you to Rogue Ringsport for hosting a wonderful event, judge Patric Corpataux, decoys Sean Miller, Josh McCleary, Dennis Bilik, field help, sideline help, and sponsors. It was also great to meet and learn from the other exhibitors.

Kludde made a few mistakes and I made a few mistakes but we had a great time.

The theme was the Twin Cities.

 

The fetch item for level 1 was a rat.

 

Kludde was one of the few MR1 competitors to do the Defense of Handler correctly.  Good boy.

Some EV practice

Keeping eyes on the prize

Satisfaction!
