The Rest of the Story

The rest of the story is that on Sunday, Mike had another great day. This time Chance went winners dog, which unfortunately was only two points since someone broke the major. Then Creme was Reserve Bitch. So Chance and Creme each picked up two points this weekend (It takes a total of 15 to make a champion)!

Boston on the other hand was apparently as exhausted as I was and after a nice moving Excellent run, NQd on her Honor. Just decided to "stretch". Oh well, on to next weekend.
I had to be content with one Q in Excellent as far as the show arena was concerned. In Rally it takes three "Qs" to get a title. A Q is a qualifying run with 70 or more points out of 100. Boston has two Qs to her Excellent title which is the highest level in Rally. However one quirk of Excellent is that after the dog does their run, they have to "honor" the next dog. The dog who runs before us is lucky. They have a very short honor since Boston and I work fast, but some dogs take a very long time on the course and it can be hard for a Samoyed to sit still while another dog goes through very slowly. Now Boston can do a three minute sit stay or five minute down stay with me leaving the building, but that is a whole other story. She finds the honor boring!
