So...this weekend was about our worst Q ratio ever! I was so disheartened, but at the end of the day, I watched the videos and reframed my attitude. I saw where I'm making mistakes that are confusing her, saw some moments of brilliance in her, and also was reminded that "perfect Siryn" (as Lucy Long calls her) is still a dog, not a predictable machine, and is going to have some "where did that come from?" moments. But most of all, I look at those videos and smile because, regardless of the ribbon (and I'm not going to lie, it was nice to get one!), I got a chance to have some of those "Yeah, that felt awesome!" moments with her this weekend. She is an amazing girl and I am so glad, for better or worse, that I got to have 9 more agility runs with her this weekend.
