My Week

 Monday morning was very windy and cold.  I walked Sophie and had to save her stool sample for the veterinarian.    Her appointment was right after our exercise class so I brought her with me.    

Tuesday I went to the 80th Anniversary Remembrance of Pearl Harbor held at the Elks Club on Lake Springfield.


Phil Brown from the Interveterans Council insisted on this phto

Gwen reads the governor's proclamation

Afterward, Sophie went on a visit to the assisted living home.

Wednesday I went to practice in Mechanicsburg.  It was a cold start to the day but by mid-day it was 43 and wind free and sunny.

In the evening I went to Mass for the feast of the Immaculate Conception. A man needed an ambulance.   https://youtu.be/BOX8maf5_Bw

Thursday I had new light fixtures installed and some of the outlets changed from cream color to white to match their covers.  

These three light fixtures.




 Were replaced by matching flush LED ceiling lights like this with crystal sides to spread the light.


Friday, Saturday and Sunday Amber and I trialed at the fairgrounds at a The North American Dog Agility Council (NADAC)  event sponsored by In The Zone Agility.  On Friday it was colder inside the barn running my dog than taking her out potty.  Friday evening I went to the obedience practice at the club at 7.  Only 3 of us showed.  Then the weather was real bad about 8PM.  Some sections of town had power outages but not me.  Later we learned that there were deadly tornadoes to the south.  The colder weather followed for the agility trial.  Friday we Q'd 4/8 runs, Saturday we Q'd 5/8, and Sunday 3/8.

I wasn't real happy Sunday.  In fact I was pissed when she got to the top of the A frame and stalled.  We had a stare down.  I had her do the weaves and took her out of the ring.  Not all were her fault however.  Sometimes I got lost on the course as to where to go next.  Even though I do a walk through of the course, I still get lost as where to go next.  Amber earned  "Outstanding - Novice Jumper Certificate" and "Outstanding - Novice Tunnelers".  

Tired Amber
 

I had left my advent calendar lit while I was gone.  The pink candle was down to nothing but the two purple candles from the past weeks were still lit when I got home.  Sean was home doing laundry by the time I returned and hadn't noticed.

Removed from Youtube already so it must be hot! Same video on and alternative site.
