And we have lift-off

Libbers and I have been in agility training since May, with an unplanned break in July when I hurt my back. (Tripping on the corner of the A-frame ... not a good thing.) And let me tell you, she was just hitting her stride, completing 10 out of 18 contacts with no refusals. What a rock star! During this hiatus, while I was working desperately to stand up straight and not walk like Festus on Gunsmoke, Libby went into total naughty mode. A search and destroy mission like no other. Five weeks and 20 PT sessions later, the physical therapist released me, so back to agility school we went.
When we hit the arena last week, it was like we never left. She raced full tilt to the A-frame (her favorite contact), ran up to the peak, and barked and barked, as if to say, "I'm baaaaack!" I'm pleased to report that Hannibal Lecter has transformed back to her sweet, charming self ... happy as a clam, now that she has a "job" again. Of course, she now thinks that running full speed down our hallway to jump over the back of the couch, constitutes "practice." (And landing on the poor cat for extra points doesn't hurt.) Um, yeah. lol
I invite you to pop back in on Thursday for the Studio Calico contest announcement!
