Morning my brothers,
Well here we are the updates for the rest of day 1 and what I know about day 2.
Tess had a little bad luck in her first run. Had 2 birds clean in a little over 4 minutes and was well on her way t a good start. She spun on the 3rd bird and it popped on her and the judge called no bird, as she did not fully establish a point ebfore the bird came up. The bird flew out of bounds and they were not able to find an extra in the field to make up for it.
She went out toady and had a 6:50 clean but the 2 bird run from yesterday all but eliminates her from the finals. Am I dissapointed? Sure but Don said she did everything right including standing steady when the bird came up and flew out of the field it was just some bad luck for us yesterday.
Allie however was my saving grace. she went out this miorning and ran a 7:05 clean and that with yesterday run gets her into the finals tomorrow!
She will be 1 of 10 dogs out of the opriginal 160 that started this tournament running tomorrow for the title! Please keep your fingers crossed for us as she is running for her first ever National Title.
Take Care
Mike
