Our 1st USDAA Trial

Dylan and I got to compete in our first USDAA trial this weekend. It was a long, but really fun time. It took a while for me to understand some of the rules, but Dylan had a nice Standard (22") run and if his mom understood Snooker... that would have been a better run too. We also got to run on a pairs team with Mary/Zane which was great! Both boys did beautifully...

There were so many friends at this trial all in Starters so we got to hang out in the same ring and watch tons of runs. I haven't seen so many of my friends' runs in ages. There was no stress and we just enjoyed ourselves all day.... over 13 hrs that we were there on Sat... but still fun :)

Rumor got to see lots of family members! He played with Sonic for quite a while and I was *very* pleased to see that Sonic wasn't all that much taller than Rumor. Susan and Jen Crank both said that he didn't fill out until relatively recently... so there's still home for Rums! Rumor also got to see Wonder... I was happy that he didn't look out of place or way smaller when he was with both Wonder and Sonic. He's a very handsome boy in my bias opinion :)

It was great to see some beautiful runs over the weekend. USDAA definitely has some better handlers. As always, it was a pleasure watching Linda with Stellar and Super. Preacher also kicked butt and got a Super Q and 1 Gambler... now he just needs 1 more Gamble for his ADCH! Hopefully next weekend :)
