Goals for Scottsdale:

Have Fun (cliche, but true)
Try not to E in team
Stay ant-free (Recently, I have had 100+ ant bites.)

This will be Zing's first national event and I am really looking forward to it. In fact, this is the most fun, exciting thing planned this year. I'm getting to team with awesome friends, meet new people, and watch lots of amazing teams run. Our team has tie dye shirts...

I've already packed and I got Zing a new X-pen just for nationals. 5 or 6 of the Nel x Zing puppies will be there. I'm looking forward to meeting their owners and seeing the puppy's development.

I'm also getting to meet Kathy, who has both Zing and Now's littermate. How cool is that? :)

I have a trial tomorrow to practice one more time for nationals. Then, we're off to Scottsdale. On the trip out, I'll be super excited. The drive back will be brutal. My dad really wanted me to fly instead of drive lol. I'll probably wish that I had flown.

I've heard that there's going to be good vendors. Last year, a friend got a martingale collar that has a snap (so that you can slip it over the dog's head or unsnap it like a regular collar). If they have them again, I want one. :) I also need to get pictures. :)

I'm not nervous at all. This is not surprising to me because I rarely get nervous about agility. I'm very excited!

Zing's not worried, either. He would also prefer this to an x-pen.
 
Zing's a dork.
