Mabel's Fabulous Freezing Weekend


This weekend Mom & I went to a 
Teacup Dog Agility Association Agility Trial

TDAA trials are for dogs 20" and under. 
All the equipment is sized for smaller dogs. 


It was only 35 degrees when we got there 
and the skies were cloudy and dark
with rain/snow in the forecast


We set up underneath the metal shelter



This is our instructors canopy that we got to share
 and we brought our propane heater 
that really helped keep us warm


In TDAA you can earn titles in Standard courses and Games.
Standard courses are set up by experience level.
Games are fun challenging courses, everyone runs the same course but the beginner dogs get more time. 

Mom and I entered 3 Standard runs and 3 Games.
Our first run was a game called Helter Skelter
We qualifed!!!
Next was a Standard course, we qualified 
and that completed my Beginner Standard Title!!! 
We moved up to Intermediate Standard 
and of the two runs we got our first "Q" in Intermediate!!!
We finished the trial with a couple more Games. 
The first one I off coursed to a tunnel :-(


But the last run of the day we qualified in a tunnel game
 and that completed my Games 1 title!!!!!!



We survived the cold and windy weekend
and had a lot of fun!


We are the PugRanch Kids
Mabel & Hilda
