Cheyenne Trial

Having a lazy Sunday morning.

The Open finished at the Cheyenne, Wyoming field trial yesterday, so it will be a nice day off.

Darbi finished with a JAM in the Open.  She ran a great trial!  It was actually a 5 series field trial more or less as the judges decided to run a second water blind before moving on to the water marks.  Darbi's water blinds were incredible, but she had a hunt on the last bird of the last test to finish out of the placements.  She sure is running good!

Miikka ran a very respectable first/second series.  It was a double and a blind.  After picking up the flyer, one had to run the blind and then go out and get the long retired.  She had a long hunt on the flyer, ran a great land blind and then went about 50 yards deep of the long retired before coming back and picking it up.  The two hunts weren't good enough to move on to the next series, but I was thrilled!  Miikka is training like a new dog and it's beginning to show at trials!

Leaving in a few days for the Canadian National.  It will be my first National and I am both excited and nervous.

Miss Libby is currently on the "T" in her yard work.  According to Kenny, she is "flying" through her Basics!  She still thinks it is all very funny.

And CONGRATS to Darbi's son Turq for getting a Derby third this week-end in Cheyenne!!
