And a second layout -

After a heart-to-heart with Dr. vonPfeil at Veterinary Specialists of Alaska, I decided it was time to retire Chena from agility last month. She still does well at the search work, but in that discipline I'm not asking her to "jump this, then turn that way."  She can direct her own movement and do what's comfortable. We did a trail with John and Jane Aspnes on Tuesday and she was great. Hard to believe she has a compressed disk in her neck.  But as I said to Dirsko - she's doing too well for surgery, but she's not sound enough for agility. So I did this layout using a photo Pat Randall took at Chena's last trial last summer.  She double-Qed that day. Just training Jenny in agility now is easier on my brain and pocket book, but I do miss running Chena.  We had an awful lot of fun.
