Well, the agility spring season is in full swing. Zoe and I went down to La Crosse, WI earlier this month and also traveled to Isanti, MN last weekend for agility competitions. Zoe did wonderful both weekends and had a perfect day in Isanti, going 4/4! The weekend in Isanti was particularly special since one year ago Zoe was struggling to come back to competing after her injury. One year later, she is now having fun and becoming a consistent competitor. She is truly a great teammate to have - she has a nice combo of handler and obstacle focus, is a hard worker, and seems to enjoy the sport. I am hoping that things continue to go well until the CPE Nationals event in June!
Meanwhile, Breeze is progressing in her agility training. Her style is completely different than Zoe and is thus making me a much better handler. Where I need to encourage Zoe, I need to subdue Breeze. She goes at things will full force and needs to learn how to control her young body. She lives to work and let's nothing get in the way, even when she gets caught up in the cords of the tire jump :) She'll make a fantastic agility partner, but we've got lots of work to do before she competes.
