Happy birthday, Cricket!

My little dog turns five today, can you believe it? She was just a tiny chubby thing not too long ago...

Anyway, here are some pictures of the birthday girl. We went for a nice long walk today.








I also realized that I had a bit of CPE agility news to share - at the trial last weekend, Cricket Q'd in 7 out of her 8 runs, with mostly 1sts. At this rate she'll finish her Level 3 title in no time! I'm hoping we'll earn enough Q's to go to Nationals in 2014. Journey was entered as well, but unfortunately walked away with only one qualifying run. She didn't seem to be feeling too well - halfway through the first day she started refusing obstacles, which is not like her at all (usually if Journey doesn't qualify, it's because of her propensity to add obstacles). She had some stomach troubles Saturday night, and we ended up scratching her from the last two runs on Sunday because she clearly wasn't up to snuff. Just wasn't her weekend!

Journey's littermate, Roxy (Tova's First Light of Aurai CGC) also got to compete last weekend. It was her very first CPE trial, and she and her handler Melissa did very well, qualifying in the majority of their runs. Congratulations, you two!
