You Want Me To Do What?

At the end of May, Sadie and Elliott competed at Rally trials in Powassan, Ontario.

Sadie, being the social butterfly she is, finds the meet and greet aspect of going to dog shows more entertaining and satisfying than actually going into the ring to compete.Upon arrival at a hotel, Sadie loves to start her visit with ceremonial leaping from bed to bed. This is an essential component of any dog show visit.
When reminded that she is at the dog show to compete, and hopefully get a title, this is the typical reaction:



HUH?

Sadie went into the trials that weekend already having 1 leg towards her Rally Advanced title. She only needed to pass twice in order to finish her title. In the 3 trials she competed in, she managed to pass only once. The trials were outdoors and so very challenging for her as she fought to ignore all the distractions!

GOATS

and GEESE!

Her big brother Elliott got 3 RAE legs and his first perfect score in CKC Rally, coming first in one of the trials. Sadie, I think, was busying partying with the goats at that point.....
