Last weekend in pictures …

(Most of these have at least 2 photos in the series – just keep clicking “next” above the big picture until you stop seeing shelties :). )

Bryce in Elite Tunnelers

He’s not as wild and crazy as he used to be, but he’s still having fun and looking pretty good!

Jayda – Saturday Jumpers

and Sunday. Jayda – Jumpers


Doesn’t she have the LONGEST legs???!!!

jaytunnelI like this photo of her coming out of a tunnel – for once, she has a very soft, pretty expression on her face!
Jayda – Touch N Go


jaydaweavesThis group starts with an interesting sequence – can you tell me why Jayda popped that last pole? (Hint – look at her ears in the 3rd picture!)

Jayda Weaves and A Frame

Note to self: Always ask the paparazzi NOT to photograph Jayda in the weaves!

ravensaturdayThe pictures of Raven really tell the story of her weekend! Here’s Raven in Saturday’s jumpers. Can you tell she’s about to head me off and jump on me as soon as she lands?

A very excited Raven – jumping


(Notice that I’ve been working on learning the patented and uber-scientific “pointy finger” method of handling – however, I haven’t quite gotten the knack of the “double-pointy-finger” technique yet, which is what you need if you want to become one of those REALLY competitive “world team” types :) :) !)

raventunnelHere she is in Regular – eyeballing the judge on the other side of the dogwalk and bouncing out of the tunnel …

Raven – Novice Regular


(BTW, I did NOT gain 30 lbs – I had 3 layers of clothing on under a rain jacket that wasn’t meant for layering!)

ravenjumperssundayAnd here she is on her GOOD jumpers run. Handler-focus, obstacle-focus, handler-focus, obstacle-focus … back and forth, back and forth the entire run, but she held it together!
