 Luckily London seems to do pretty well in the the heat, and even managed to keep all but one bar up for all three days.  I was impressed - I could barely move!</div> <bR> <div> Friday was our best day, it wasn't as hot and I could still function.  2nd in team standard, 1st in team gamblers, 6th for team jumpers and had a great snooker run too!  He even kept his head running after Nova in relay, and the Supertastic Uber Fun Team of Ultimate Agility came away qualifying despite Barb injuring her ankle.</div> <bR> <div> London got around this weekend!  Kate Moureaux handled him in steeplechase and masters jumpers (too hot for me!), which was really fun to watch.  Unfortunately London was suddenly struck by a weave issue for Sat/Sun and was popping out all over the place.  Could it by going from 24 inch spacing to what looked like less then 20?  The heat?  Physical issue?  Hard to say.  Tammy also ran him in the grand prix finals, where a little bobble caused a refusal in an otherwise lovely run.</div> <bR> <div> London was only entered sparingly throughout the weekend, which I was thankful for.  We always have a lot of fun ... just wish it had been cooler!</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonUSDAAgamblers6-27-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>1st Place Team Gamblers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonUSDAAstd6-27-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>2nd Place Team Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonUSDAAjumpers6-27-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>6th Place Team Jumpers</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonUSDAAstp6-28-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>Steeplechase with Kate Moureaux</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonUSDAAgp6-29-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>Grand Prix Finals with Tammy Moody</I></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="195c4bca0.jpg" border=0 width="331" height="458" ALT="Photo by Cheri Kanaan" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Tammy and London</I></div> <div> ___________________________</div> <div> OUCHIE LONDON</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="194e14630.jpg" border=0 width="532" height="355" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>PAC AKC Trial- Canby, OR</I></div> <div> <I>June 14-15th, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> So earlier in the week London was out running around, yelped and was limping on his front right.  Oh noes!  So he had a quiet week to let him rest as we couldn't find anything specific going on, but showed no more signs of limping since Tuesday.  </div> <bR> <div> After London cleared inspection on Saturday I ran him in Standard and while he didn't show any specific signs of still being sore, he knocked two bars, and not just little knocks either.  So I pulled him from jumpers, rested him again and then Sunday morning warmed him up three ways to Tuesday, took the practice jump from every angle and speed, and didn't see anything off at all.  Naturally, I then sent him offcourse right off the bat for that run, but he looked just fine, so I relaxed.   </div> <bR> <div> I actually relaxed TOO much for jumpers, really wasn't focused for his jumpers run, missed a jump, but he seemed fine, not his fault as all!  Then we played and played after the trial with the beautiful summer weather ... and he was limping on his front right when we got home!  Ack, he really WAS hurt - I felt awful!  But on closer examination he had a really weird slice on his front right pad more sideways, so it was difficult to see unless the big flap was hanging off, as now it was.  So hopefully mystery solved, the flap cut off and the foot is healing.</div> <bR> <div> So not our finest weekend, but I was glad to find the source of the limp!  We are VERY excited to go play at the regional in a couple weeks, I think his foot should be totally healed by then.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonAKCstd6-14-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>Standard</I></A></div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/londonAKCstd6-15-08.wmv" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.brisbeethewhite.com/videos/lo"><I>Standard</I></A></div> <div> _________________________________________________________</div> <div> OUTDOOR LONDON!</div> <div> <I><IMG SRC="1944cd5a0.jpg" border=0 width="461" height="346" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></I></div> <div> <I>GSCDA AKC Trial - Canby, OR</I></div> <div> <I>May 31st, 2008</I></div> <bR> <div> Outdoor agility is a rare thing in Oregon, and after scratching the dogs on Sunday because of the wet rainy conditions it was obvious why!
