Katie came to agility class yesterday to run Ivy. She will be running her at the upcoming Keystone trial this weekend so she needs to get in some practice. Katie was having some difficulty in a tight section of the course that Barb DeMascio set for us. So I thought I could take Ivy out there and get her through that part to show Katie. Well guess what? I have totally forgotten THE IVY RULES! EEK - she is not easy to run and I am not missing all the required strategies and thinking on your feet and the very last millisecond changes in strategy. Sorry my cute little Ivy - I adore you but I will not be running you again any time soon. I do not miss the mental energy required to run your cute little deaf self.
The funny thing is...she is fine with all of this. She kept running to Barb for treats - totally ignored me. That is fine with me too, I just want her to get some exercise and have fun. I don't know how to have fun running her but Katie just takes it all in stride. They are a very nice team - neither one cares and they are just enjoying it together, both smiling.
