Oh so behind in updating and keeping up with blog friends.
But since we are more or less halfway through the year (where has the year gone!?!?) I figure I will go over our goals for the year and see how we are progressing: I have to say so far so good :-D
1) Learn to pass dogs coming out of the lanes so Sophie can run multiple positions instead of only start dog: Such progress on this front! We have successfully competed in a tournament with Sophie passing two different dogs! We need more work to learn releasing/timing etc but so proud of my girl.
2) Conquer the teeter: We have not had a refusal in a few months. She doesn't fly over it but she doesn't jump off either!
3) Visit Fort Funston while it is still an off leash beach as much as possible! Unfortunately have yet to go this year. Hopefully we can fix that this summer
4) Earn Sophie's Flyball Master title (needed 1,528 points) Hoping that this weekend we get the last 307 points!
5) Try out at least 3 new hiking trails Still need to explore 2 new trails!
6) Complete first leg of Rally Novice Title: Will be starting our first official rally class next weekend. Hoping to compete in our first Rally event in September.
7)Take more pictures of Sophie and really just in general use my camera more: I have used my iphone for photos...a lot. But still need to get my Nikon out and use it more often.
8) in addition to #7, take a photography class this year at some point: Still trying to fit this into the schedule!
9) Move to Level 2 CPE (I am not going to push this one, if it happens great, if not we have time): We still have a few of the strategy games to complete before we moved to Level 2. She could technically compete in Level 2 Standard and Jumpers but I want to finish up our full level 1 title first.
10) Complete the Couch to 5K program: oops forgot this was even on the list :-P
11) spruce up the blog!oops forgot this was even on the list :-P
12) learn to snowboard
Looking forward to 2012 and whatever new adventures it may bring! Unfortunately I was unable to make it out to the snow earlier this year. Maybe later in the year.
