Happiness is truly chasing a plastic bag or three! Last month I ran CAT, Coursing Ability Test, and earned my CA, Coursing Ability Title. The other day we finally got my photos from my runs from Brian Batista Photography and purchased some of them. We chose some of our favorites to post for you. It is different form FastCAT as that is a straight one hundred yards. CAT is a course with curves and it is six hundred yards long. I was out of my mind excited chasing the bags.
Mom was my releaser and catcher since a dog starts and ends at the same spot. She used my FastCAT speed release for the first time as she has always been my catcher. The guy in the photo is the one that does the “Tally Ho” so Mom knows when to pull my release cord.
I fly around the course and stay totally focused on the lure moving around. Mom loves my eyes in all the photos, how they are so intense.
This photo shows two of the three bags on the lure that I am chasing. My mouth is open as I do my hunting call the whole time I’m running.
Here my ears are flying. I’m completely focused on the hunt.
Still rounding the corner, determined to catch those bags.
It is no wonder I was worn out after doing two CATs back to back as I really put my all into capturing those bags.
Here I go flying along again. Who knew chasing a plastic bag could be so exciting!
At the end of the run, I get to catch the bag but Mom has to get me off of it quickly. Catching is allowed but tearing or destroying any of the bags is frowned upon. You can see I love CAT! Hope you enjoyed my photos. In case you are wondering, the orange cones are the start line.
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
Look at you go, Olivia, and you caught the bag in the end! Great job!
In FastCAT, you are not supposed to get the bag but in CAT they tease you with it so sometimes you are even ahead of the bag and at the end you can grab it but only for a second as they don’t want you to destroy it.
wowza!!!
Fun, fun, fun! I love the chase!
That looks like super fun!
It is so much fun but it does wear me out.
WeeeeOooooo, look at that fun and the chase, bravo! Those photos are terrific!!!
He is a good photographer!
Are you sure you are a dog and not a plane?
I’m pretty good at flying, long and lean with lots of speed.
Wow! What an event for you ! Mom too ~ lol ~ Wonderful photos of you on the run ~ Hugs ^_^

I fly, my ears fly and I have such a good time racing and chasing.
Great photos!!! And we remember the video. You are such an intense runner! We can tell you love it!! Awesome. your friend Chester!
It is crazy fun in my opinion. I’m glad Mom let me give it a try.
It was SOOO much fun watching you run in person, Olivia!!! These pictures really capture your spirit!! (and eyes!)
I take my sports pretty seriously but geez, that CAT was sure a lot of fun!
Olivia, it’s a delight to see you run!
I really enjoyed running those CAT courses but it did wear me out.
Wow, look at you flying after those bags!!
I absolutely loved CAT. I love FastCAT, but this was so much more fun and also more exhausting!
