The real Lucy is back! She was feeling great and ran well at today's trial, although we took no letters home with us today.
Advanced Snooker: The opening was designed for flow and went according to plan, but after #2 of the closing, a jump which faced the out gate, she took the red right after it -- tweet. But, as with Walter's non-Q snooker at the last trial it really was FUN! She was running so fast. What has come over this dog lately?
Advanced Jumpers: A nice run except she ran past one jump and my timing was really messed up at one point.
Starters Standard: Another nice run except after the dogwalk she got distracted by the nearby out gate causing a runby on one jump. She's definitely getting faster. I used to be able to keep up with her on straightaways; not so anymore! She had no dogwalk, teeter, or frame issues, yay! and her table was a happy tail-wagging one.
It was wonderful to see her running fast and a HAPPY fast at that, woo hoo! But, if only she would slow down so that my timing wouldn't be so off. ;-)

isn't it amazing?
we wish for speed then we realize what we are wishing for
sounds like a great trial

So true! Just like the old adage. Guess I gotta get my butt in gear. It's always us handlers who are lacking, never the dogs eh.
I like your phrasing "although we took no letters home with us today." Reminds me that that's all they are is letters. :-)

Hooray for Lucy! You'll get your butt in gear and there'll be no stopping the pair of you.
congratilations ;)
Hehe, you know you shouldn't wish your dog would slow down :) Maybe you should start working on your running to keep up with her!
Congrats on your great runs,
Xsara
