Michigan... a weekend getaway!

This weekend was filled with agility, friends and lots of playing on the beach! I was able to have Colby's house in New Buffalo for the weekend and stay there with some friends because there was an agility trial in Buchanan, MI. Friday I left after work to go up there... Kelly and Polly joined -- the dogs all had a blast playing on the beach and we had fun at the house and at Casey's for dinner.


Saturday started at the trial. Dylan had a great JWW run, but I was right in front of him so he couldn't enter the weaves (oops!)... but the rest was very nice. He was really tired for his Std run so I wasn't expecting anything. I'm very happy I decided just to enter him for 1 day this weekend, since he isn't a big fan of trialing outside. Rumor had gorgeous weaves today in all classes! His Std run was great, but we missed 1 dogwalk descrimination... other than that, he looked really nice. A whole slew of us went back to the house after the trial... did lots and lots of swimming... then out to dinner at the Stray Dog. It was a fantastic day!

Sunday was just Rumor for agility. He Qed in Exc FAST and did a very nice job. His JWW run was fantastic, but I messed him up on a part of it (awesome weave entrance tho!). In his Std run I stepped in a hole and the mis-step really hurt my tailbone (that is still not totally healed from flipping the quad) and I had a tough time recovering... but, we finished strong :) Polly, Kelly and I went back to the beach and made sure the dogs were totally pooped! Then we finished the weekend sitting on the deck and heading out to Mexican.


Overall, it was a perfect way to end the Summer :) We lucked out with the weather... had a wonderful weekend... couldn't ask for anything more!
