Melbourne - February 2008

February saw Amber and I head off to Melbourne for the first time. The main purpose of the trip was the Papillon Club of Victoria's restricted to height agility trial. The K9 Agility Club also held an agility and games trial in the evening. The Saturday was a HUGE day for Amber. At the Papillon trial, we came 2nd in Masters Agility on an NQ run, but the highlight of the morning would have been the qualification and 2nd place we got in Open Agility. Open isn't Amber's strong point, as she doesn't necessarily like working at a distance, but with the right course she can do it. This was one of those courses.
After a little down time in the middle of the day we headed back for the evening trial. The highlight for the evening was that Amber got her Excellent Snooker title (SDX). We crashed and burned in everything else that evening, but I can't say I blame Amber. It had been a long day. The picture shows Amber having a well deserved rest late in the evening. I think at the time I took the picture she still had one more run left. Needless to say it wasn't a good one as she was very sleepy. Definitely a good trip and one worth making.
