Decisions made best for us...

Sometimes things are said to us that we don't really "hear" until we are ready.  Today I had one of those experiences.

At Arcadia... we had a 66.666667% Q rate which I consider very successful.  In our T2B run yesterday I missed a tunnel entrance and Gayle told me, "you could have gotten that front cross in there".  Yup... I could have... and should have... hind sight being 20/20 and all.

Today in JWW we missed a tunnel entrance and Gayle's voice echoed in my ear, "you could have gotten that front cross in there".  Yup... again... I could have and should have... hind sight being 20/20 and all. 

Well, Stnd came rolling around and there was a big debate of which way to take your dog when having to wrap to get a tunnel entrance.  Some people wanted to do a post turn, some a front cross to the right, some an ass pass, some a rear/front.  Well, I walked it every way I could think of then... I decided my plan of attack based on that voice echoing in my brain.  I decided to do a front/front for that tunnel.  That is what thought would be for me and my dog.  Not the best choice for everyone and their dog, of course.  But... for Blyss and me, the plan worked brilliantly!!!!!  Lesson learned! 

We Q'd, earned 22 points and celebrated an amazing Standard run...
