Nelson and I had some good FastCAT runs last weekend. We each had two runs on Friday and Sunday at the same place as our Scent Work Trial. The plan was to run first and then go do our sniffing. I have not been running very fast for a while now and I was limping the beginning of the week. Out of nowhere the limp started and it disappeared all of the sudden after two days. Mom didn’t expect me to run well. Nelson loves to run but recently his times have been a bit slower.
Friday was not a good day for us in sports. The lure had an issue on Nelson’s first run so he had a slower time and then there was a delay to fix the lure. I was running next and I slipped out of my collar and ran down the track to mom without being timed. For me it was a rerun later. Thankfully both of our second FastCAT runs were really good.
Sunday we had two early morning runs each and our times were more in the range they should be. I’m grateful the mysterious limp didn’t reappear and I wasn’t afraid of running. Each of us got four more Q’s toward our next FCAT Titles. Mom says when we run more often our times are better which makes sense. We are running again in two weeks and hope Mom is right. Running FastCAT is so much fun, we all truly love it!
I’m joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Congratulations on successful runs!
We got some good points. I think I smell some titles coming down the road soon.
I hope your leg stays healthy. I’m rooting for both of you.
I go for my check up in a month. Mom says it is weird as I am great 99% of the time and then I go to bed and wake up with a really bad limp. A day or two later it is totally gone again.
Great runs and no limp is an extra added bonus, bravo! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
I don’t like being a limpy lou and then Mom won’t let me do anything but rest which is super boring.
You two rock. I know you’re both superstars too.
Have a woof woof Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around and a hug to mom. ♥
We just love to run, it is always fun. Madison runs to get back to Mom and I run to catch that lure. I’m a beast while waiting for my turn too.
GO GRANDS! Yeah, practice will get/keep you in shape
We are in shape, but the more FastCAT runs we do close together the better our times normally.
You two are stars in my book ~ ‘fast cats’ ~ Wow! and Mom too ~ hugs,
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

Meowy wowwy! Fast cats we are in the bodies of dogs.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you are always cute
Winning all the time would be nice but we also need to lose sometimes to make winning more fun.
Well done, you two. We are keeping our paws crossed the limp stays away.
I will talk to my rehab vet about it at my next appointment.
Good job guys, we are glad the rest of the runs went well. We have our next FastCAT runs next weekend. This weekend is a two day conformation dog show, not nearly as exciting! BOL!
Ugh, conformation is not something for our family. Nelson still needs points but Mom is almost to the point of forgetting it. The whole thing is based on the handler, not the dog, and there are no other GBGVs at shows, so it is really not much fun. Next weekend we will be doing FastCAT again too.
