Up for a game of Frisbee?

Well the girls were! Well, technically Kessie didn't use a Frisbee, but she did pass her RPT with a tennis ball at D.O.G. Sports Centre.



Back to their original stomping grounds, (D.O.G. is also home to HiQ Border Collies, Kessie and Tink's breeder) Tink was 11 for 11 in throws and catches, despite the windy day!

She was 8 for 8 in novice single disc, catching all 8 over the 20 yard line, earning 41 points (her best score yet) and a second Q towards her Basic Disc Dog title. I would have gotten lots more throws out, but Tink developed a new quirk of running all the way around me instead of bringing the disc straight to me, wasting a bunch of time!

Tink also caught all 3 of her Furthest Catches, with a personal best catch of 108' 5", her second bronze catch, and just short of placing.

When the official classes were over, there were 3 unofficial games. The first one was 'It's raining cats and discs'. This was a handler only game, where you had to throw stuffed cats, and frisbees into upside-down umbrellas. Natasha and I played, and only got one item each!!
The second game was 'Disc o' Ducks', the dog is sent out to a pile of toys, and have to bring them back to the handler. Tink rocked it, earning 19 points and a 1st place!
The last game was 'Monster Disc', it's played with a giant disc, with, or without your dog, and furthest throw won. Tink didn't care for the disc... and my throws were sucky. It was a fun day, but back to agility next week. I miss it!! Thanks to Shona again for more pictures!!
