Weird weather

The whole herd and I went to Reno for three trials.  The good news is Proxy is still working well and managed to earn 4 more OTCh points in heavy competition.  The bad news was the weird weather!  It was HOT and HUMID in Reno, and the building the trial was in only had swamp coolers, which couldn't keep up.  So right away on Thursday I bought a big fan, which was a blessing, tho I wasn't able to cram it into the car to bring home so I donated it to the club.

The drive home was...interesting.  The temperature changed a lot -

 

We hit a hail storm so bad I had to pull to the shoulder twice - 

Those blurry white lines are hail buildup on the freeway.  Sometimes it came down so hard and fast I couldn't see at all.  Fun.  I was lucky in that I'd stopped not long before this and got a nice picture of Teaz with some of the native wildflowers.

More obedience

The trip to Oregon was fun and Proxy worked hard, passing five out of six classes, but we just couldn't quite get into the points.  Twice tied for Fourth was the best we could do due to heavy competition.

The next weekend we were off to Ventura for three trials.  I wasn't really keen on two trips in a row but I hadn't paid attention to the fact that Oregon was the end of June and Ventura the beginning of July!  Proxy did good work again, passing three out of four classes and winning five more OTCh points on Sunday.

It was a fun weekend and nice to be able to go out to dinner with good friends three nights in a row.  The only downside was the fact we were parked next to this thing, which made sleeping interesting.

At least it didn't rain on us, as it did in Oregon.  Next trip is in a couple of weeks, to Reno!
