Toss & Fetch Freestyle Fanatics

It’s been a busy couple of weeks.  Since bringing Lei home, I’ve become “new mother” again (and getting much less sleep), plus Lilli had her first 2 competitions:  Freestyle Toss and Fetch (last weekend) and AKC Agility Trial (this weekend).

So lets start with last weekend.  Lilli was a star.  She crushed the competition in Novice taking both First and Third place for the day.  In freestyle toss and fetch (also known as Distance/Accuracy), the object is to score as many points as possible in an allotted time frame by throwing the frisbee into different zones and the dog catching it.  We would have taken first and second (with Jason crushing my score with his awesome throws) BUT I wore Lilli out on the previous run and she was cooked when it came to his turn to run her.  He still finished 3rd with only 2 catches – that’s how big his lead was from Round 1.  Here are our top 3 results for the Novice division.  Thanks to John and AirK9′s for an awesome event!

…………………………………………….. Round 1                               Round 2                       Total …………………..

Andrea Rigler & Lilli                                17                                             18                                 35

Matt DiPiero & Brooke                            15.5                                          16                                 31.5

Jason Rigler & Lilli                                 21                                             8                                  29

Lilli got some cool prizes but most awesome was the 2 shiny medals claiming her victory and the notation that we are no longer eligible for novice – having finished so well in it.  So Super Pro, here we come!
