Here's Eddie in his X-pen at the trial, with the spoils from his efforts. Four blue ribbons for being fastest in his division in 4 of 5 races, and the extra ribbon for his one Q. He also won a toy for that. Only 4 dogs in his division max, but a win's a win!

His only setback was in his last run of the second day. He was the very last dog to run for the weekend. I could tell he was pretty tired and had a hard time getting him up to the line and ready to go. He nevertheless started off OK and ran through the first two tunnels. Then his mind wandered and his gaze fell upon his mama on the sidelines videotaping. He made a beeline for her and safety.

I figured he was letting me know enough was enough. I had no problem with that. He far exceeded my expectations for the weekend. I actually expected him to pull that stunt every time!
