Well, There are many things to report and not much time to do that in… It is about 10pm on Sunday the 9th and I am feeling the loss of the hour sleep last night – especially when the clock went forward two hours and the alarm went off at 5:30 (3:30!)
Couple Things First:
1) Edi… now Dizzy D has a new home with my brother and she is just perfect. She has the best temperament of any Staffy that I have known. Great Dog… and it’s nice to have her close by.
2) Fitness challenge
6 weeks in now and I am feeling great! Down two sizes and almost 20 pounds from when I started the diet. I know I ran faster this weekend with Rowan as well! But – geesch – it takes up so much of my time… It’s where I want to spend my time right now but some things -like blogs- gotta give – sorry folks (Camille – you especially)
Now to the interesting stuff!
USDAA Trial number 2 update – in brief. I went to the WAG trial in Corvallis this past weekend. My Grandparents and Mom came to watch. It was wonderful to have them there… they had never seen me run or even met Rowan. I could hear my Grandmother cheering me through the weave poles – or the wiggle-waggles as she called them. What a hoot! There were three Staffords showing this weekend. I got to spend some time talking with Sarah with her girl Tess. And Suki and Richard were there with Stevie Ray. Go Staffords! I am not certain where I sit with the completion of my Starters Title – I believe am 1 Snooker leg away at this point. I also wanted try to qualify in Steeplechase and did!!! Suki has a video of the first round run and here is round two – the final.
Rowan represented the other three Staffords there this weekend in that run and did not disappoint with a second place finish! We won $23! I was very proud of her and happy with my handling. There are always places to improve… but what fun would it be if we all started out perfect??
Good night – More to come soon… like the shortest snooker run (for me) ever!
Yeah! Go Rowan!!
Congratulations, you both did a good job!
I’m proud of little cute Rowan =)
See you tomorrow
Great job, Hedder! And don’t you worry, I’ll be okay with only the occasional bloggy update. Congrats on a great performance at your competition and way to tackle the fitness challenge like a champ!
Yeah Rowan!! We knew you could do it!!!! Sorry we couldn’t stay to watch..
We had good weather, traffic and border wait on our way home, and manage to get home for 9:30 p.m.
What a fun weekend — I have Rowan’s snooker and jumpers round too let me know if you need them…going to email you the first round of SC right away
Thanks Guys! I appreciate the support!
Congrats Heather and Rowan! I am glad that I got to watch some of your runs. One run I got to watch really stood out. It was super especially since Rowan had to go through 12 poles twice. She did them perfectly! Your grandma came unglued with that one. Your family sure are wonderful folks.
blessings, Elinda
