 Well, not really a curse, as in general I KNOW why we mess up ... the handler is not really focused on the course!  I'll admit, I don't take jumpers very seriously, especially with some of the more simplistic AKC courses ... then I just do stupid things.  But this time it wasn't me for once - Fenwick dropped an uncharacteristic bar on Saturday, but we finally managed to bring it together on Sunday for another jumpers Q.  Still need one more though!  We'll see how long it takes ...</div> <bR> <div> Fenwick did have a lovely standard run on Saturday for his first Excellent B run, winning the class for his first MACH points (that I doubt we'll ever see, but hey!).  His handler seemed to be thinking she was running London on Sunday in standard though, and pulled him off and pushed him into things she did not intend!  Someday maybe she will learn.</div> <bR> <div> I always have fun playing with my Fenwick, win or lose - I love the Fen!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd6-14-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>1st Place Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww6-15-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>1st Place Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww6-14-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> FENWICK AX!</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="194c726e0.jpg" border=0 width="626" height="366" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>GSDCA AKC Trial - Canby, OR</I></div> <div> <I>May 31st, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Our odd spring continues after our last 90 degree trial we ended up getting rained out on Sunday for this trial.  But Saturday was lovely, so we'll take what we can get!  This was Fenwick's first outdoor trial since last summer, and he was rolling around on the start line - took him a bit to get into the game.  Outside agility is a novel concept in Oregon!  But Fenwick pulled through to finish up his AX title.  His jumpers run was nice ... but the handling left something to be desired. ;-)</div> <bR> <div> So hoping the weather is better for the next outdoor trial later this week!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://flickr.com/photos/effd/2539986889/in/set-72157605379413669/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://flickr.com/photos/effd/2539986889"><I>1st Place Standard</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> FENWICK the GAMES MASTER</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="193eea3a0.jpg" border=0 width="490" height="314" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>Fleet Feet USDAA DAM Team Trial - Turner, OR</I></div> <div> <I>May 17-18th, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Oh, poor little Fenny - he was just dying in the heat this weekend!  Even resting is his crate he was panting like a steam engine.  The weird spring heat wave just took him completely off guard.  Naturally, we're back in the 50s this week, but the mid-90's over the weekend was just killer!</div> <bR> <div> Fenwick was still loving his agility though, and with a lot of hosing and dunking him in the pool he made it through the weekend.  Actually, he did great, he has such a huge heart, that one.  Fenwick's team, "Fiztastic" with Izzy and Zorro came in a respectable 10th!</div> <bR> <div> The funniest part of the weekend was Fenwick winning both team gamblers and snooker of all things.  And Fenwick and London were the only dogs in the trial to get all 59 points in snooker!  How does that happen?  Proof that maybe I should just run my own dog and finish that last super Q one of these days.  It's not that we CAN'T do it ... I just don't like it!</div> <bR> <div> Fenwick also won the Grand Prix, so a good weekend for my little guy despite the heat.  We're really cutting back on his regional schedule, so hopefully he will have fun without getting fried in June!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickUSDAAgp5-17-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>1st Place Grand Prix</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> FENWICK in EXCELLENT!</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="193345ca0.jpg" border=0 width="325" height="458" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>American Whippet Club AKC Trial - Albany, OR</I></div> <div> <I>April 19-20th, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Fenwick's first full weekend in Excellent, it was fun to run both dogs on the same courses.  Sometimes that came in handy ... sometimes it screwed me up!

 Runnin Fenwick is just so easy - we need no practice, I never have to think about it ... it just happens.  Fenwick barks, I smile, he's awesome.  His sit on table still needs work though - hard to unprogram 7 years of an auto-down table!  Unfortunately while waiting for our final run Fenwick hurt his hip some how and started yelping and crying.   Not sure what happened, but after a massage and a rest he seems to be moving and jumping normally.  We're going to take it easy for a while and make sure it wasn't anything more serious though.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww3-22.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd3-23.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>ExA Standard</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> HIGH in TRIAL FENWICK</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="191546ba0.jpg" border=0 width="326" height="442" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>CRAC AKC Trial - Albany, OR</I></div> <div> <I>March 14-16th, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Fenwick had his second AKC trial and ended up going 7 for 7, earning his novice titles and going "High Non-Sporting Breed in Trial" both days.  Seemed like cheating considering we're in novice, but just one more leg in each and he'll be in Excellent and I'll feel less like a ringer.  We certainly enjoyed our trip back down to novice though, I really just love being able to run my fabulous little guy!  The two runs a day have just been perfect for him, not overstimulated at all over the weekend.  Very proud of him!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd3-14-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Novice Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww3-14-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Novice Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd3-15-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd3-16-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCstd3-16-08TWO.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Standard Re Run</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww3-16-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fenwickAKCjww3-15-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/fe"><I>Open Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> FENWICK the TOOTHLESS WONDER</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="190fdd410.jpg" border=0 width="477" height="321" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>WAG USDAA Trial - Corvallis, OR</I></div> <div> <I>March 8th, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Fenwick ended up having some emergency dental work a couple days before this trial, removing a broken molar.  I wasn't sure if he was going to run, but he was more than ready for action!
