| See Ikey's first run on a public agility course! This too was part of the Waukesha County Pet Expo on September 6. For a small donation anyone had the opportunity to try their dog on the course. This was maybe his third time on any course, his handler didn't know where she was going, and he encountered obstacles he'd never seen before. First run: did ok til the chute, he slowed down so I lifted the end and called him. Didn't want to do the tire jump, not so hot on the weaves, didn't want to do the dog walk. He was never asked to try the teeter because he'd never tried and it should be done with care. Second run: vastly improved! Did everything but the teeter and again, he wasn't asked to try it. He did it under time. YouTube video here |

| Ikey was alway's Kita's favorite. He was the only one who dared to pick at her. She'd snark, expecting him to submit. He'd lick her face in play, totally taking the wind out of her sails. |
