Eight More Sleeps...

Wow! Never thought the one week countdown would ever get here. We have a had a busy couple of weeks since California. Last week we took a road trip to Prince Albert for the Standsure Easter Trial. Three days of agility and the Western contingent of the WAO team all in the same place at the same time. It was a great trial and came home from the weekend feeling great about Slice's runs. A couple of blips here and there as we pushed the limits to see what we had in the tank but overall she ran so well.

Sadly, our team mate Shannen, who is the reason Slice and I are a team, had to pull from the trip to tend to an ill family member. We are pretty bummed that she isn't going as this was an experience we wanted to share with her. Now that there won't be any other small dogs to run, Slice will have to run in every event. We are ready but it will make for some long days. We are up for the challenge!

Uniforms arrived last week in the mail and it was like Christmas opening the box to see what was inside. Two awesome jackets, shirts , pants, ball cap and a very special plaque for Slice's crate. Goosebumps! (Pictures to follow)My jacket was a little too big and pants a bit too long, so off to the tailor we went. Everything will be ready on Tuesday. Already started packing the suitcase and have every piece of "Canadian" stuff I own folded and ready for the Worlds wardrobe! Every day I add to my list of things to remember to pack for both Slice and I. Here's hoping I don't forget anything!

With eight more sleeps to go, we are in Calgary for our last bit of training and work before we rest up for our big journey. Some of our team mates start leaving on Tuesday so the anticipation will build day by day.
