At the risk of sounding like an Academy Award speech, I would like to thank some people first before posting a few pictures :))
To Amanda, Sarah, & Kim for being truly awesome instructors & helping all of us newbie/keeners all weekend even while busy running the trial & their own dogs! They were there watching all of us students, cheering us on & making us feel good about how we did even if we didn't Q.
Also to Amanda on being such a good friend & understanding when I ALWAYS challenge her advice :)), thanks Amanda!!, I still think I know it all, don't give up on me ! Thank you also for video taping every run of both Tate & Kort !!!
To Wendy, who gave up her weekend to come out & take pictures of all the dogs in almost every single run! Today she sat outside in that horrendous rain & cold to capture pictures, I for one truly appreciate this, Wendy you rock !!
Thanks also for the "earlybird" pictures of Tate, it sure pays to know the photographer :))
To the judges who will probably never read this but still..... Kiersten Lloyd & Christina Sanders, two of the most friendly, fun, & unintimidating judges I have ever had the pleasure to run under! These two ladies made us new comers feel relaxed & at ease by their good humour & happy attitudes. Thank you !!!!
And lastly to all of my fellow students who came out to watch every dog & every run for support! It was so wonderful to hear the cheers when crossing the line !
KEENERS ROCK....WE ARE LOUD & PROUD ! GO GO!DOG!GO!!!!!!!
Now for Pictures!!!
I just have Tate right now, many more of both dogs to come :))
These are from Tate's Qualifying Standard Run......
I love this shot of Tate's butt going through the tire......
Here he is coming out of the tunnel...I'm sooo happy says Tate !......
This is my favourite so far!, just look at the joy in his face!......
Climbing the teeter......
Jump!......
This is where the "go on" command comes in handy! You can see Tate is ahead of me, I indicate with arm as well as my voice to keep going until I say otherwise, or catch up ! :))
Stay tuned for more pictures!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again--there are a super bunch of folks down there in Lethbridge (and you're one of them!!)!!!! Tate is so in his element--happy, happy boy. He looks great!! Can't wait to see Kort!!
Tate looks amazing!!
Go on boy!
Wow, brilliant Jolene. Sounds like the rain couldn't dampen the weekend which is awesome. Glad you guys had a good time. You and Tate were amazing to watch on Saturday and I was glad I made it out to see. Can't wait to see more pictures and may be your video.
Thanks Jo! And I truly appreciated a nice tent to hang out in between events!
You did sound like an academy award.....but that's ok. (Is this the right post for that????)
I probably have never mentioned how much I love Tate.
LOL! Diana, I did not know you love Tate !! hahaha!
