Today we went to "Strutt Your Mutt" in Salt Lake City, UT, a charity thing for "No More Homeless Pets in Utah" (low cost spay/ neuter service, as well as adoptions using foster homes)
Anyway, they had a lure course, and Annie had never seen that before... but wow, she fell absolutely in love. We were standing off to the sidelines, and any tme the lure came by, she went nuts! Actually, the first time, I wasn't paying attention, and she jumped over the tiny fence into the course, and tried to go for it. oooops!! Good thing she was on leash. haha.
After watching how excited she was over it, I bought her a ticket, and she was a total NATURAL. The guy that was in the "holding tank" at the end of the course asked me how long we've been competing with her, and he was amazed that she'd never been in agility or done lure before. She was on her best behavior all day, and after running the course, she did NOT want to walk the other way. I almost had to drag her the half mile back to the car, and not even a Ziwipeak treat would distract her.
Now I'm going to try to work agility classes into our budget somehow because she was SO incredibly happy, and loved it so much. I wonder if she'll do well without having the lure to fixate on, but we'll find out.
Anyway, PICTURES!!!
