Pumpkin Guts Memories

We realized that we recently passed a big milestone

We started blogging on Sept 30, 2012

Five years ago!!!!

We weren't aware of the great community of Blogville

 when we first started, but when we found it 

we were welcomed with open paws!

One year later we volunteered to host an event 

for the very first time

  Howl-a-Ween 2013

The Pumpkin Guts Slide

As we remembered this silly post, 

we realized that some of the participants 

are no longer blogging 

and sadly quite a few are now at the Rainbow Bridge

including our own Angels

Greta and Mr. Bailey

So we would like to dedicate this Howl-a-Ween memory 

to all our Blogville Angels

Hope it brings you some smiles!

Here We Go!

Let's get goooey!!!

Our first group is ready to go!

Frankie  and Sarge aren't afraid to

Mom really liked the velcro closure! 

So much easier to get open and shut

When do I get to try one Mom?

The treats are nice and small and can be broken even smaller if you are silly enough to want to do that

I would like some more!!!

I found them to be yummy 

They are only 2 calories per treat which makes them pawfect for training.

Weekend Agility Fun!

As I mentioned yesterday 

Mom & I went to our first agility trial

The rules for Tea Cup Agility are - First Have Fun 

 Do the course in the correct order 

and under a certain time.

Refusals are not penalized - they just eat up time

You can earn a title in Games and in Standard 

at three levels, beginner, intermediate and expert

 The Standard courses are easier for beginners, 

the game courses are the same for everyone 

but the beginners are allowed more time. 

Saturday we entered a game called Impossible Tunnels

When we saw the course we thought OMD!!!

This is the course map - it started with two jumps and then we had to do the tunnels in the numbered order

We got through all the tunnels in the correct order 

but I stopped after #6 and looked at mom for a treat

 she convinced me to keep going. 

Then I got to #10 and stopped again. 

She really had to do some talking to get me going again 

we finished but over the time allowed

Sat. afternoon we tried our first Beginner Standard course

We made it through the course in good time but I went past a jump and then came back over it in the wrong direction

Sunday we did two standard courses

Here are some pictures from our first run

It was cold and very windy 

I did some crazy running around in between obstacles

I went over one jump twice

But handled the teeter just fine

can you see me on the dog walk??

And we were done - but - over the designated time

We did one more standard course and I made it through the whole course without a mistake but we used up a lot of time when I did not want to get on the table. 

The last run of the trial was a game course called

The Halloween Haunt

It was a challenging course of jumps and tunnels

We made it through with no mistakes 

and 2 seconds under time!!! 

Our first qualify in agility!

In Tea Cup Agility you don't have to have a qualifying score to get a placement ribbon

Placements are given for each jump height division

I brought home 2 blue ribbons in Games 1, 12 inch

(the green is my qualifying ribbon)

and 3 red ribbons in Standard Beginner 12 inch.

We will have all winter to work on things, 

such as mom learning to be a good handler 

to better direct me around the course
