Beatles & Rally

Ringo & Starr will be in a Rally Trial this weekend. Starr has class tonight and that will be her practice. Ringo will be in Advanced and we had to learn some new signs. (The signs tell you what to do rather than the judge calling out what you need to do. It is a little more like agility that way. You have to do what comes on the next sign.) The first new one we tried was for him to be heeling beside me, go over a jump, and come right back in to heel. So we had to make a new jump. I did and then we went to practice. He looked at me like I was going crazy, but it was no problem to come back beside me. That was yesterday. Today we worked on some of the others. He did great. Really seemed to enjoy it.

So now I am looking forward to Starr's class. She went to doggy chiropractor yesterday. She had been showing reluctance to jump up in the van or onto the sofa. And her sit was sloppy looking. She feels much better today. Can't keep her off the sofa - she gets up with ease. Caught her on the bed too this morning.
