Bay Team CPE, 3/21-2 09

Video coming!!  I was able to talk Elsa into coming to Santa Rosa with me for the Bay Team's spring CPE trial -- the idea was that, among other things, she could take some videos. A rash of battery failures squelched that plan.  Oh well!  Luckily, a professional video service was there to save the day, and Moxie's first-ever Level C Jumpers run has been captured in all its noisy barking glory for posterity. I also ordered one of his L5 Standard runs (the fastest run out of 80+ dogs, but a bar down, so a "dirty" 5-fault Q and no placement), Miko's Standard run, and Moxie's blazing 13-second Colors run. The neat thing about the video is that I could look at it and see exactly what I did that caused him to knock that bar.

In addition to Jumpers, Mox got his final L4 Colors leg, which completes his CL4-H category title. He also Q'd in L5 Jackpot (barely! not our finest run!), Fullhouse and Wildcard, going 6/8 for the weekend.  Did I mention that we did NOT Q in Snooker ... again!?

Miko went 2 for 2.  He seemed particularly up and happy all weekend (maybe he liked having Elsa there!), doing his boing-boing! jump-in-place routine while waiting his turn to run.  Some guy was so taken with him that he kept snapping his picture, "What a cute dog!" Which he certainly is.
