After last week's unfortunate flop, we had one more chance to rack up points in CDSP obedience.  Tova in Raymond, NH held a single evening trial Friday night, and while I was hesitant to enter something that might have us working late (remembering the evening AKC trial where we were competing at 10pm!), I took my chances since it was the last nearby CDSP trial of the year, and easy enough a drive to deal with being out late if it came to that.
It ended up working out well, and ended at a reasonable time.  Even though I did end up eating dinner at home at 9:30 pm.  Oh well.  It was worth it...

But first, during the day on Friday, we took a jaunt to Wolfeboro, just to walk around town, do some shopping, and reminisce a bit.  And snap a few fun pics.  We didn't have time to check out the rail trail as planned, but all the more reason to go back.

I think I may have used that title before.  But this HAS to beat anything else we've done.  Or should I say, almost done.  LOL

We were entered in trial 1 at Waggin Tails in Westford, MA on Oct. 29.  Big trial, lots of entries.  How exciting.  :-)  Tripp (ok, both of us) had received lots of compliments last weekend, but I think he topped himself this weekend.  He was SO good!

Me, on the other hand, well... I've done far worse, but I messed up my signal during the directed retrieve (don't even ask why/how! LOL) which confused the poor boy.  Tripp made a wide swing, then went for the wrong glove.  I groaned.  He stopped and just stood there asking me what the heck I wanted from him.  XD  He redirected well, but alas my brain fart resulted in an NQ.  Ah, it happens. 

But what a bummer - if I hadn't thrown him off, and he did both gloves as well as everything else, we would have finished with a nearly perfect score (including earning all 20 points in baseball!) of 219.5!  OMG.  And that would have put us almost halfway to OTCH.  Oh well.  Next time...

I will still savor his almost perfect performance, even if we got nothing to show for it.  But hey, we did get it on video!  :-D
