We went to Tucson for the GSD club of S AZ trials. I don't usually travel for Rally, but I love this club, but damn it's HOT! I actually broke down and got a motel room because it isn't cooling down enough to sleep at night. We spent Friday looking for Mariposa Lillies and I did finally find one.
Sketch found a Horned Toad too.
Looking for flowers is hot work!
Today, Sketch earned his second RE leg with First place despite a bitch peeing in the ring *right* before we went in. His nose kept trying to lead him astray but he listened and did a nice job.
Sunday didn't go as well - I made a 10 point handler error in Rally so even though he did finish his RE, he didn't get the placement he deserved for HIS work. And by the time Preferred Novice came around, Sketch was just too tired and hot to do a decent job. The other dog entered felt the same way as we were only Second by one point! ;-)
