I'm off to the WCA Field Nationals

[anne]

Well after hectic last minute planning I am off to the WCA Field Nationals in Ardmore OK! My dog has competed in this event for the past 3 years, and my long time boyfriend has been going all these years, but this will be my first trip.

Event starts tomorrow, Friday, night with the Winter Specialty show, where I am showing Riley. The field event starts on Saturday morning and will last for about a week. Riley and my pup Pixy are entered. I am not expecting much from my dogs... We haven't done much training with Riley, and Pixy is only 8 months so for her, this is a trip for experience.

This is THE field event of the year for Weimaraners in the US. I can't wait to see some of the dogs that I have had my eye on perform! I sure wish I could stay the whole week, but my trip is limited to just the weekend.

Here's some information

I am always reminded when I post on this site that I can't use American abbreviations. <g>

When I heard Anne was going to be in Ardmore, I was set to pack the dogs in the van and drive down, I've been wanting to meet her for a long time. Ardmore is about 500miles from KC(800 km).
I had to work Friday night 12 hours(get off Sat. morning at 0700) but I had been getting cancelled some of my shifts--so I figured if I got cancelled I could make it down there. True to form, you NEVER get cancelled when YOU would like to be off. DARN.
Sorry Anne, we'll have to meet another time, soon I hope.
