We got our 3rd UDX leg with style on Thursday. We went to the first kerry blue terrier obedience specialty and got 1st place in both Open and Utility with a score of 195 in both classes as well. We also got Highest Combined Score which won his mom some lovely Waterford Crystal. I thought I was safe. I thought no problem to go to the trial the next day. My dog knows what he's doing. I forgot I own a terrier.
After his success, Jessie realized that he had to top it, so the next day at Hatboro he really distinuished himself. When I sent him to the article pile, saying, "Find IT", he thought I said, "Scent It", so he trotted out there and scented the pile with his own urine. I was mortified, but held my cool and didn't get angry. He's now resting at home. It was a long jog back to Rochester NY from Phili PA tied to the bumper of my car, but somehow he made it, LOL.
Ah well, he is a terrier and sometimes he just needs to remind me. At the time it was humilitating, but in retrospect, it's actually kinda funny. He'll be doing articles in lots of stinky places for the next few weeks!
