Deb and Cinder had another weekend of agility but only came home with one Q. Deb is pleased with comments strangers give her on her dog but laments ever getting right all the 'little' things that go awry during their runs. But she looks at the bright side of things, which is the only thing that keeps you sane if you compete in dog sports - Cinder's yards-per-minute time is getting faster, her weaves entrances are much improved. But it is hard to go and not achieve what you'd hoped to that weekend.
According the the AKC's website, Cinder has 150 MACH points plus any she has earned in the last couple weekends (AKC takes about two weeks to record updates). She is also at nine Qs (of the ten needed) for both her MX & MXJ. So something is going right.
I think that the little things that go wrong can all be traced back to a handler error and I think Deb would agree with me. It is amazing how our dogs cue off of our body language and it's difficult for us to learn how to not throw out conflicting signals! Cinder is just 3 so they still have lots of time to work on their "issues."
