That's All Folks

I am calling it quits. I cannot do this anymore. Agility is making me physically sick.

This weekend, Shane was a mess. Friday, I had to stop both runs because he was nuts and I was scared he'd do something stupid. Saturday, Frank came with us and I posted him at the exits. In both runs, Shane did great. We got all our contacts and he stopped at the end. No Q's, but it was a good day. Not real sure what was different, but it was. Maybe because Frank was there to protect me, I relaxed. Maybe it was quiet. Maybe it was because Maggie was there as well so the pack was all together. Family has your back.

Sunday, he ran out of the ring in jumpers and we left. I think he was running towards the dogs that were barking in the crates near the start line. Who knows. It was pretty scary. I should have stopped his run when he looked out of control.

Shane will be 4 in January. I thought we'd be so much further along by now, but he has too many issues. We both love to do agility, but it'll just have to be in classes. I have one more NADAC trial this weekend, and then that'll be it for a while. I'm not even sure I'm going to that one. We'll see how I feel in a few days.
