AKC Nationals: Small Dog Posse

Porter & I attended the AKC Nationals with the bulk of the Small Dog Posse - a nickname we've given our group over the years. In a sea of large agility dogs, us small dog handlers need to stick together  :)

 

Here are some photos that Marty was gracious enough to take of us. Trust me, we were quite the spectacle...

Camille (t-shirt designer) with James Brown & MACH Gus, Libba with MACH Molly, Megan with PACH Dally, Me & Porter, and Melanie with Eli

Eli was ready to be done with all this posing...

 

The guy on the bench was not impressed...

MACH Gussy could not be trusted to not run away, so Camille had to hide behind the wall holding onto his leash  :)

 

Random people were standing behind us, also taking a photo of this.

Like I said, we were quite a spectacle...

Eli is once again growing impatient...

I totally ruined the photo by not having my number on...

Congratulations!

The Brew Crew & I would like to congratulate our fellow "Small Dog Posse" members on their huge accomplishments this last weekend!

 

 

 

 

Porter & I were there on Friday for Molly's MACH runs, but we missed Dally's PACH runs on Saturday  :(

 

Have you ever been in charge of someone's MACH / PACH bar? Talk about stressful!  :)  I had to do math in my head, tape the run, and keep the bar hidden until they crossed the finish jump.

 

But I'd do it all again  :)

 

 

Great job Megan & PACH Dally!

Dally's bar featured hot pink zebra stripes & a princess theme.

It also included Spam stickers, Dally's favorite treat  :)

Great job Libba & MACH Molly!

Molly's bar featured tie dye duct tape, peace signs, and "Star Pupil" stickers.

She's quite the agility prodigy - she's only been trialling for a year!

(BTW - She was one of my foundation students  *cough* *just bragging*)  :)
