This last weekend we entered Sam in a Beginners/Intro Agility Show sponsored by Good Dog Agility. He was entered into Standard and Jumpers, with the decision to skip Snooker and Gamblers - I didn't want him to get too tired in his first event!
Our goals for the day? Complete each event and have fun! We also added a new hat to the collection to celebrate the big day.

I always want Sam to be happy - look at his face. I think my little guy was having the time of his life!

We had good friends there! Thank you Judy for sharing your tent and Lin for all your advice - Sam and I are still learning and need lots of help....
 |
| I also think Sam needs a new handler - cough cough.... (I sent him crooked over the jump!) |
...and thank you Brenda and Eugene, from
Brenda's Arizona, for taking such awesome pictures!

...and yes, we made a lot of mistakes, but we are still beginners. ...but, every great once in a while you get a surprise that makes you cry because you are so happy and never imagined it was possible...
So Proud of you!!
