Saturday was our agility Christmas party. We all watched the weather forecasts all week and they always pointed to rain on Saturday. Stubbornly we hoped that the rain wouldn't come. The party began extremely overcast but no rain. The food was high up on the decorated dog walk -- a green tablecloth and a gargoyle with reindeer antlers made the obstacle into a great, dog-proof table. The dog walk was covered in yummy foods and the revelers were busy chowing down. An agility course was set up with an agility game. Jake and I opted to go first and my Jake surprised me by ignoring the crowd and doing even the really hard parts of the course. And then...the sky fell! An EZ-up was quickly erected, the food was moved to safety and ALL of us huddled together to keep dry and keep eating!
In the brief moment that the rain let up a little brave souls ventured forth with their dogs onto the agility course (even some of the spouses) and the dogs were given a chance to burn off some energy. And then the rain came back full forse so we all went back to eating! It's hard to resist when there's so much good food! We might have been wet and cold but our tummies were full!
