It was another busy weekend, and the collies had a lot of fun. On Friday we attended another Fast CAT event. This one was out of state, but my daughter loved their Halloween themed ribbons, so we packed up Sorsha and Rosie and drove to Pennsylvania. Both Sorsha and Rosie were one run away from earning their BCAT titles, and actually did their best times at this event. Sorsha even dropped 2 seconds off her time! I’m not sure if it was the new location, or maybe it was because it was a more open track, but they loved running at this event. And both brought home a new title and ribbon!
Halloween is in two days, but since it falls on a Thursday this year, our town held its annual trunk or treat event this past Saturday. We signed up to participate again, as we had fun last year. I used the same trunk decoration, and added some cobwebs. Ryder also joined in with the theme, and wore a spider costume. Everyone loved him, he was definitely the star. A few families asked what breed of dog he was, and where they could get a collie. It’s sad that people no longer recognize a collie, but then I get to introduce the collie to new generations, and help promote this sweet, beautiful dog breed.
These collies are doing so well, and earning so many titles, I couldn’t be happier or more proud! Fast CAT is over until the Spring, unless we want to drive out of State again. But there are quite a few dog shows coming up, and a Barn Hunt, so I think we will wait until Spring to try Fast CAT again. November is fast approaching, so it’s time to start slowing down on dog events. It’s almost time to catch up on reading, Christmas movies, and spending time with family…
Such fun photos of your sweeties and congratulations on the ribbons and titles, hooray!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You Collies are all so talented and yes, of course, we know that it takes lots of work and you make a very handsome spider, Ryder!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the wins. The Trunk or Treat looked fun and how cute Ryder looks in his spider costume.
ReplyDeleteBravo to you and the collies! Well done. I wish I knew how to get involved in something like that close by-it might be something that Wilson would enjoy but we're so busy doing hospital visits, I'm not sure there's enough time in the day to add even fun competitions. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Our Dada loves those Halloween ribbons! Congratulations on winning them!"
ReplyDeleteThose are super cool ribbons! We haven't seen any like that in MN, IA or WI. Love the big letters. Congratulations, now on to DCAT.
