OK, yes, it's been almost 6 months since my last post. I have no excuses other than I've just been busy. The baby girls have grown up and are quickly approaching their first birthday, this coming Sunday. They are running sequences now and are just a joy. I am very anxious to see how they continue to develop. Currently, Shadow is a speed demon that can weave as fast as Karma. She has also developed an array of tricks including a "moonwalk" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNBtrLBqkBc. Of course with speed, comes a lot of off courses. Additionally, Shadow likes to jump her contacts; therefore, she is still on lower boards and we are focusing on utilizing Syliva Trkman's methods. Leia on the other hand is meticulous and also quite fast. Her running contacts seem to be built in. How nice is that? This video was in January when they were up to 6 inches. They currently are both up to 20 inches and doing well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3fuYHl-I0U. Leia isn't as far along with weaves as Shadow; however, I suspect she will be the first one I compete with. They will be 15 months the end of June and I'm considering their debut at the Nebraska Kennel Club show in July.
