Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Eddie's first agility trial -- wish us luck! How you can tell Dad's more nervous than Eddie for his first agility trial today. I ... * Conveniently took the week off work and said it didn't have anything to do with preparations for the weekend trial. * Practiced with him outdoors every day, including once in the rain, to make sure he would run a course outside. He's only trained inside all winter. * Took him to the field where he'll be competing twice to get him used to the sights and sounds and smells. Practiced at that field too. * Bought a $100 canopy so I could fit in just like the real agility trialers. * Set up the canopy 14 hours early. Embarrassed that mine isn't as cool as everybody else's. Afraid they'll call me "Trialer Trash." * Went to bed at 11 p.m. -- 4 hours earlier than normal. Set two alarms for 6:30 a.m. * Woke up at 5:30 a.m. to the sound of a Yorkie bark in my ear. Felt wide awake. * Let the barker out to pee, and decided to stay up and fill a 12-cup thermous of coffee -- three cups at a time in a French press. * Realized I'm the only one who's anxious when said barker when right back to bed and crawled in with his mama. Wish us luck!

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Ugh, he didn't finish his morning meal, then had the runs on a walk. He never gets the runs. Ever.

| Mike, your nervousness is effecting Eddie. Eddie KNOWS he's the bestest, but he is reacting to you. Either that OR -- he is preparing himself for the run - he is light (didn't finish breakfast) and cleaned out (runny poo) and is READY for competition! Relax, enjoy and have fun! PS -- trailer trash |
