A Winner, A Gility (lol), A Video

First off... no one got the answer to DD's riddle, so she drew a name from the people who guessed, and DRU (!!) won her choice of book from the LASR Library Thing. Dru, take a look, choose your book and send me an email with your choice and address.

Now -- the moment you've all been waiting for: THE ANSWER. I know, I know, you've lain awake at night wondering what could possibly be gray and stuck to an evelope.

A SEAL! Yanno... a play on words, right? A seal (sticky gummy thing) and a seal: I thought it was clever.

=======================

We went to agility last night. I was exhausted when I got there, but this class is SO MUCH MORE FUN than the beginning class, I perked right up. There was no one there from our first class, though that may have been because it was snowing and they come from pretty far away. I'm only about 2 miles from the place (and, yes, I was still a nervous wreck driving in the stuff).

Anyway, I was really impressed with Dd. She did GREAT! Especially when you consider that every other person (save one: A little Yorkie named Miller) has been attending the Agility II class for a while and Dakota only has six weeks in the beginner class. In fact, the instructor said that Dakota has real skill and if we can just get her to run straight (you'll see what she means when you watch the video, below), and get over her fear of the see-saw, she could actually become an agility competitor.

Unfortunately, DD didn't take video of the one really, really good run we had -- I thought she did--but this video (with the possible exception of my rump in your face at the end) isn't bad. And you can see how much Dakota enjoys the class -- she just bounces through the course.

So, yeah, it snowed last night. But it wasn't TOO bad, only a few inches and it stopped around 2 a.m. (yes, I was up to know this), so the roads will be clear once the sun is up. As snow storms go, it was quite mild. Thank heavens. I'm really done with winter. Note: That doesn't mean I don't have to clear the driveway.
