Some random thoughts before I try to get a good night’s sleep. The training facility where we are going for Freya’s APDT rally obedience trial runs a single ring, so the two trials will run one after the other, not concurrently. So tomorrow promises to be quite a long day.
- I think today’s pre-trial practice session helped with fixing Freya’s crooked sits and improving on sloppy turns. I hope I didn’t break something else though, as she was starting to shut down a bit on the last run-through. I am hoping that she, too, just needs a good night’s sleep.
- Thinking about what time I have to get up and what time I have to leave tomorrow, I am reminded of why I drifted away from dog competitions: too many early mornings. I am so, so, so not a morning person.
- The dogs and I watched the AKC Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show on Animal Planet earlier this evening. Freya and Axel are a lot better than some of the dear departed Rottweilers at watching animals on television. They did not chase or bark at the TV dogs, or better yet, try to get behind the TV to see where they went.
- It was fun to watch the dog show even though, like all psycho dog people, I already knew the results.
- I knew there were quarters minted last year for the District of Columbia and the territories. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing one until today when I got one for American Samoa in my change.
