Western Washington Hound Assn. - Marymoor

Good job you did not wait around to watch my JWW run it was a major disaster!  We did not get to run until 5:30pm - by this time Sky had been hanging around for 6 hours and he really was not focused on me at all.  That many things went wrong I can't even remember all of them.

Anyway on to FAST.  I did not attempt the Send, instead I just used this run to train the A-frame, which we have to run twice in Time 2 Beat, and getting Sky back to focusing on me an my instructions.  He actually moved pretty nicely on this run and did what I asked of him.

Finally, at 7:30pm we lined up to run Time 2 Beat.  The sun was really low in the sky and when Sky completed the A-Frame (with nice contacts) I looked up to direct him to the next jump and got completely dazzled by the sun, I could not see where I was supposed to go and ended up sending Sky to the wrong jump.  This was a shame because he ran the rest of the course pretty well with another good contact on the A-Frame.

Oh well at least I get to run a regular trial tomorrow - I should not be hanging around for ages in the heat which does not suite either of us.
