We have had a very busy year and I am looking forward to 2016 and new adventures.
I always have a list of goals, I hope to accomplish but the overarching goal is always to have fun with the pups. While Sophie is a sports competitor and Swy is in training, they are always first and foremost spoiled family members. I try my best to ensure that they are happy and engaged while we strive to meet our yearly goals. But if they don't have fun or never compete, its not the end of the world and we will just re-evaluate plans and activities as we move forward :-)
Goals for Sophie
- earn her Onyx Flyball title. She needs 3,058 points to achieve this title. We have a very small team with a lot of young dogs close to ready to race. My goal is to get Sophie her Onyx and then move her to part time or back up as needed by the team. I am sure she would keep playing the sport forever if I let her but it is a physically taxing sport and I don't want her to get injured or over do it.
- compete in more barn hunt events and get her RATO title
- compete in Rally Novice event
- Swim more
Goals for Swyatt:
- learn to weave
- full runs in preflight or singles at Ufli event
- try out a USDAA Quarterly event
- try Novice at Barn Hunt event
- more hikes
Wishing everyone a safe and happy New Years Eve and 2016!
