Clip 'n' Save-Nifty Little Practice Sequence.

Because I am intrepid, and the sun was out, and because Gustavo was able to do rear crosses in the rain and loud generator noise on Monday night, even though Monday day the thought of agility made him shake and tremble, we went out to practice yesterday morning before work.

Because I had, as usual, not much time, due to the whole work thing, I set up this simple little thing I like to call Little Setup 'O' Niftyness. I called it that because my friend had just mowed her field and nothing was out and this is all I had the time to drag out. Hence the Little Setup part. The 'O' ? In honor of Oprah. Did you see her dress at the Oscars? Can you imagine if she had Gustavo on her show and went "Gooooooo STAHHHHVO!!!!" And Nifty? Well, let's just see how many things you can do with this.

First, stick all your dogs on the table, because it is always a good idea to see who is the best at being stayed when everybody else does agility when you are late for work.

Here's a hint how this might turn out. Otterpop PASS EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY. Ruby YOU ARE A CRAFTY LITTLE TART YOU CHEATER. Gustavo FAIL DUE TO OTTERPOP OTTERPOP OTTERPOP.

So moving on. Can you count how many fun things you could do with this sequence? Threadle, serp, 180, straight, decel, collection into poles, turn into poles, fast poles, front cross poles, rear cross poles, jump poles, poles poles.

For Otterpop I made the hardest little patterns I could and ran them FAST! Thanks Otterpop!

For Ruby we just ran around in them sort of however willy nilly and she was chasing her ball.

For Gustavo, we practiced hard on tight turns and decelerating and just being accurate on getting in those poles. And there was Otterpop around as a distraction and as a frisbee reward.

A fine time had by all! See how many things you can make with Little Setup 'O' Niftyness.
