Bark'n Bonham

Well, the first tournament of the year is in the books! We set a new club best of 18.193 with Wisp, Cody, Zio, and Jean-Luc. Wisp set a best time on the clock of 4.017 seconds and Quigli did 6.9 seconds. Jet made a very successful debut and did a great job on remembering everything Katie has drilled into him. I think he ran a 4.9 on his best run of the weekend.

Zio did not have a great tournament. He completely lost his turns during the tournament until the very last match on Sunday. Trish Keck gave us a suggestion to try and we used it during warmup and he actually did five consecutive good turns during that match! We'll keep trying that in practice and hope for the best! Cody came up sore and limping Sunday, so we swapped teams with he and Scout. Scout managed to even run a couple of 4.8 second runs during the last match of the day Sunday. I'm not sure if it was just a long layoff or the 11" jumps that were the problem with Cody. Michele is going to get his hips x-rayed Friday and we'll have to decide whether he can continue racing on the Speeding Sheepdogs safely.
