What next after USDAA?

Aristomilago Meteor >>
Today is my turn to annouce or update some news. My Daddy (Trifold Mascagni aka Prince) is currently shaking his paws at one corner.

So today is "what next after USDAA" ? Of course, the Singapore Kennel Club.

After seeing my performance in the USDAA (5/6 April 08), J decided to register me for novice agility and novice jumper trial. Woof woof my 1st time in SKC agility trial.
On 26 April 2008, as per normal, J wake up early and started to prepare stuff and also to rush to Singpost to collect her "cleanrun" items. Before we leave, something very bad happen.
Shadow (bc) attacked me. I was injuried on my front right paws. See below is the injury. Due to take, J withdraw me out from the competition. What a bad day.

On the day, my daddy Prince did not have a cleanrun for his open jumper cos he had hit one of the bar. Although J had to say BYE BYE to the trophy. But J was very happy cos it was a smooth run.
As for the agility, daddy Prince managed to get the 1st placing. This is the 1st time that my daddy got a cleanrun. Previously he had a problem , which is flying off from the contact point.

Below are some pics taken on that days.
Video is on the way.


Tis is me.. see my sad sad faces.

Lucky J sayang sayang me .


Tis is my daddy Prince. J says PLASTIC Crate is a must for Prince cos he able to escape .




In fact, i am also good in escape but due to injury. J found no risk in it, so i share the new crate wif mummy CoCo. See me sleeping at one corner.

J says that she had never been trialing for such a long long hour esp the hours is spent on waiting. From 9.30 am we reach till 9-10 pm we left.
What a tired day to human and dogs.







At last prize giving.

Reward after USDAA

Trifold Mascagni >>

So what is our reward after USDAA ?? Of course, a good dinner by J and her friends together with their furbies.
Around 4 pm plus, J brought us (me, meteor and coco) and meet Aunty S. Thereafter we went to look for TK Haw to order our USDAA's pic . I believed TK must have took good pics, if not Aunty S will not order 26 pics of Nova in action as compared to J, who order 30 pics for me and meteor only.

After J and Aunty S had ordered the pics, we proceeded to Pawtobello Cafe for our dinner together with Aunty E, M and C. We love the food, i believed the human love it too. Whilst having our dinner, the human are also very very busy. Busy taking pic of us and also displayed our warrior achievements on the long table and took a pic of us.

Woof woof woof human are very very funny ...............


Here are some pics of us


Before dinner, still need to take pic. Not one but three shelties on a small sofa .

Our "blood & Sweat" prize

Tis is me, Trifold Mascagni aka Prince or the mad dog

Hi, see J still got the mood to take pic of us inside a small car (flat Punto) before proceeding to the competition area.
The rear seat are occupied by our big crates.



Tis is me (Trifold Mascagni aka Prince) taking my height. As for my son (meteor), he too shy to post.



See how smart and steady my son. No movement or breaking the stay. Waiting for J command. J says tis is the only pic, whereby Meteor look like a boy.
Hmmm as a 1st time newbie , seem good but later, wooof who know??



Meteor seem to enjoy all the obstacle . Don't believed see below ........ no wonder dex says that he is the black horse for that day.








Woof now my turn . J dun worry i will wait for your command, pls dun nag... faster faster go and position yourself.
