Tess in Orlando

[Flyinsbt]

Well, we enjoyed our weekend at the Invitational, though we weren't as successful as I'd hoped. Poor broken dog, so many jump bars!

waiting to start Time 2 Beat:


couldn't skip this photo op:


with her ribbons (AKC kindly had this photo backdrop set up for people to use as they chose):


bird hunting in Lake Eola park:


waiting for her ice cream at the Spork Cafe:

Glad you guys had fun, even if it didn't turn out the way you hoped!

Tess is such an all-star! I'm happy you had a fun trip! That cougar photo is epic.

[CatStina]

Well done!! Great pictures!

Uh, you have an awesome stafford that made it to Nationals and kicked butt! I think that's pretty damned rad and amazing in anyone's book. Goooooo TESS! :-) Glad you two had a good time.

That.

Did I mention that someone on my Elkhound list as an awesome Staffy Bull that resembles Tess? I don't think they ever stop doing stuff- she just finished her breed Championship, and they compete in Obedience (Rally & traditional), agility and Lure Coursing (or whatever it is that AKC calls it for breeds other than sight hounds), among other stuff.

Tess looks great! I love the pic with the statue. Glad you at least both had a good time.

We love Lake Eola park- it's about 20 minutes from my house

I'm glad to hear you had a good time! Tess is gorgeous and looks like she had fun!

You were in Orlando, too? So were we. Wish I had known, the agility was right behind the pool area!

We weren't successful, either, but a good time was had. Wasn't it a fantastic event/venue?

Well, the other bull breeds there did better, but they weren't broken. Poor Tess, I knew when we went that she was going to struggle. She was a super good girl, and if it wasn't for her being broken, we would have had a really good chance at making finals.

Tess really enjoyed Lake Eola park, but she wanted to get all the birds! I kept pointing out to her that they could fly and/or swim, and she can't do either. And that the swans would kick her ass. She didn't believe me.
