Zane's Big Weekend

On Friday we headed out to Tucson for an agility trial. I pulled my little travel trailer and about 7 miles from our exit to the fairgrounds, it had a blowout. So Zane got to experience sitting on the side of the interstate for an hour waiting for roadside assistance. It was hot, but all the vehicles roaring by didn't bother him.

We made it to the trial in time for our first runs. At first Zane was worried about the other dogs. He would stop and stare, very alert, ready to take offense or run. But none of the other dogs came up to him or did anything, so the second day he settled down and didn't give any of the dogs a second look. I think this was very, very good for him.

A friend (hi Stacie!) has a red Aussie with markings very similar to Zane. Interestingly, Zane walked right up to him on Friday night and never acted worried. He immediately took to Rex. That's a first for him!

He was a dream at the trial. Only a few fusses in his crate. He walked all over like a champ. Never had any problems, and everybody thought he was so good.

I think Zane notices differences in things. He sees our horses everyday, but since he's been here, nobody's ridden them because it's either too hot or too rainy. There was a horse show at the fairgrounds, and Saturday evening while we were out walking, three horses with riders went by. Zane stopped and stared and ran to hide behind me. He's seen horses, but never horses with two heads!

On a cute note. . . the first thing Zane did to the ice chest? Paws Up! He knows that one well now.
