What a great day I had practicing Rally-O this past Saturday! A new sport my Mom has been doing with my little sister. Well, now I’m trying my “paw” at it! I proved to her that YES! I can do it!! So, she is sending in to get me a registration # with APDT and I’ll start competing in it too! Isn’t it cool they allow tripawds?! I’ll show that little sister of mine, I’m just as good as her! 😉 I have a bit of trouble in a couple of sits in each video but I’ve been practicing and I’m getting much more balanced and comfortable doing sits. It felt soooo good to be included and feel “normal”…a normal part of my life on 4 legs involved stuff like this…it sure was nice to prove to Mom that I just might like doing it in competition now!

It’s sorta like when I used to do agility – following a numbered course…but there’s no fun obstacles to “do”…but my Mom has to read the signs and we do, together, what is on the sign – like “Sit/Stand” or “Slow pace” or “Sit/Walk Around”…in the higher levels, if I get there, I’ll be able to do a low jump…so that’ll be fun! I used to love to jump in agility!
Oh and this weekend was the first time “South” and it didn’t involve V-E-T appointments! What a relief that was! I’m soooo tired of V-E-T’s…… 😉
