So last week we went coursing. We attended a trial in Racine on Saturday. The whole thing turned into a comedy of errors or perhaps a tragic comedy. We arrived at nine in the morning for the role call...and then we sat for hours as the equipment broke during the first couple of heats and they could not get/keep it running after that (Mind you this club invested in new equipment after last year's trial when the old equipment proved to be unreliable). In the end they had to use a drag lure to try and complete the days runs...which meant the course had to be manually reset after every heat.
Watson got to run finally around three in the afternoon...he earned his JC. After his run my minions rebelled and wanted to go home...so Menchi did not get to run for her first CAA leg that day. No telling when she would have run since there were several more sighthound breeds to run before the CAT dogs would have ever gotten to course.
I did get to snuggle with lots of dogs that day though :)
Tonight we had a nice Saturday evening stroll through the park.
Here are some pictures :)
