Hiya I'm Jovi, remember me?

We "met" on this forum when I was a tiny pup.

I visited occasionally and you got to see that sometimes pups just gotta get down and dirty.

You got to see my first obsession, BALL!

It really is an obsession!

You also got to see some little videos of mom and me training in agility.

Mom says I'm a fast learner!

This past weekend there was a chill in the air and it seemed almost like fall had finally arrived in Georgia.

It was a great time for me to be entered in my very first agility trial! I got one first place and two second places and Mom was so happy!!! She says not because of the placements but because I was happy running in the ring. It's a different place than where we train so it was brand new to me. I liked it!

I'm going to add a link to one of our trial videos. This is the "standard" run on the first day of the trial....standard just means that there's equipment (dogwalk, seesaw) in the course instead of just jumps. I got first place on this run!!!

I'm still considered a "baby dog" in agility, I'm only 16 months old, but I'm working at being the very best baby dog out there!

Jovi, you are such a pretty, smart girl!

I'll bet she was really proud of herself, whitdobe. It looked like a lot of fun.

It seems like just yesterday that you were deciding between the red or black puppy!

Thanks everyone! I was so very proud of Jovi at the trial. It wasn't so much the placements, it was how well she was performing in an entirely new (to her) location.

We ran 4 times and she got one 1st place and two 2nd places. That's really great for a baby dog!

And, I'll put a link to the one jump she didn't Q (qualify) on. I love that run even though it wasn't one of the placement ones. It was the very last run and we were both getting more comfortable, working with more distance and moving faster. She dropped the bar at the last jump becasue, by the end of the day, the ground had dried out and the jump was in a sandpit...that shifted when she took off. Shoot, I almost lost my footing there too.

Anyway, I love this run!

Absolutely delightful. Jovi is a beauty, and smart and talented, too. Love the pix and video, and all of "Jovi's" comments. I know that you feel you are so lucky to have her, and you are, but she is also clearly happy and loved because of you.

Please tell Jovi to feel free to share more posts here anytime!

She's such a wonderful dog! Kudos to her owner/handler/mama.

Oh my goodness...I *love* that dear dog. She loves you too. They grow up so fast, though, don't they? Is she really 16 months already?!

Watching her gives me shivers.
