What a day we had Saturday at an agility trial!
Tilda: In Excellent A Standard we didn't qualify. She knocked the bar/bars on the triple bar jump, missed a jump, and did a fly off on the teeter. Tilda didn't stop on the teeter, she just kept on going right off the edge! But her dog walk and a-frame touches were nice. Even though we didn't Q, it still wasn't a bad run. Her time was 70.07 out of 75 seconds.
In Open Jumpers With Weaves we Qualified, got First Place, and got our Open Agility Jumpers Title!!!! And if anyone is wondering, it was a 100 point run! Tilda's time was 40.35 out of 45 seconds. About this time last year we ran Open Jumpers w/ Weaves for the first time.
Gracie: In Excellent A Jumpers with Weaves she Qualified and took First Place!!!
In Excellent A Standard Gracie didn't qualify. She had a little problem with the weave poles. She hit a jump bar, but it didn't actually fall.
Buddy: In Excellent A Standard Buddy didn't qualify. He had a GREAT run, but he hit the first jump bar.
In Open Jumpers with Weaves Buddy Qualified and got his Open Agility Jumpers Title!!!!
What a day, each dog got a Q! Both Buddy and Tilda did it; they got their Open Jumpers titles and can move into Excellent A Jumpers w/ Weaves!!

Homemade Sweet Potato Dog Treats
Tilda loves sweet potatoes! So, I made my own sweet potato treats. They are so simple to make.
Step 1: Wash/rinse sweet potatoes and cut them up into thin circles. Or really any shape you would like, just somewhat thin.
Step 2: Lay foil on pan.
Step 3: Spray foil with a non-stick spray.
Step 4: Lay cut up sweet potatoes on pan.
Step 5: There really isn't a lot of science involved. Heat oven to about 200 degrees F. Place the pan in the oven. I really don't know how long they stayed in the oven, probably about a couple of hours, plus some time sitting out. All I can say is just to keep a little eye on them.
Your end result should be a healthy sweet potato treat for your dog.
If I were to make these again, I'd maybe do a little less time in the oven, as they are a bit hard. I wanted them to be somewhat hard, but maybe not quite this hard.
Tilda has tried some already and likes them! I even tried one. They weren't too bad, they do taste like sweet potatoes; I just might like mine with a little oil and salt :) But, Tilda doesn't need all that salt and oil.
These sweet potato treats are such a healthy treat! It's just sweet potatoes. No bad chemicals added, nothing from china, no colors added, etc., just sweet potatoes! You can even eat them if you'd like.
Enjoy!
