An All Time Low!!!

We're in McCook, IL this weekend for an agility trial!! We (Bill, Carrie, Mike and I) did the early morning trip again, leaving at 2 am Friday morning for this 3-day event. We arrived about 6:30 am and what a wonderful facility. It's a HUGE soccer complex with 4 soccer fields. The dogs are using 3 of them. You would think with 3 rings and a max of 990 runs it would be a 3-ring circus. Not so, it's run very well and you don't feel like there are that many dogs. We are crated on the second floor with a bird's eye view of ring #2.

Friday the dogs did FANTASTIC!!! The handlers on the other hand had a few "mishaps". G
Pauly had the only "DQ" and since Mike was a bar setter for both of his classes we decided he was putting GUM on the jump cups! G

We got done around 3 and we were TIRED!!!!! Headed off to the hotel. Mike left us in charge of Carrie and went to stay with his brother in Naperville. Left to our own devices, we of course ordered PIZZA!!!! We're pretty hungry and we are all grabbing our 1st piece out of the box. As Bill grabs his piece the box flips onto the floor. OH NO!!!!!!! We're talking face down....cheese side up...right onto the hotel carpet!!!

So, Carrie and I finish off our first "fresh" piece of pizza and then ask Bill if it looks like their are any "extra" toppings on it. He didn't think so, so Carrie made the plunge. She claimed her second piece was better than the first. Oh, what the heck....it was pretty good.

So needless to say, our saying for the weekend is, "Your worried about that! You'll eat pizza off the floor." Yes, I think we've reached an ALL TIME LOW!!!!!! G
