Yesterday Sambo and I went to our third Rally Obedience trial, this time we competed in the RO II category as we succeeded to pass all the requirements to get into the higher level in the first two trials. Despite of the Arctic conditions we had a nice day, met some new people and saw some really nice performances.

We were 5th with which I was very glad, but I would be even more glad if I weren't such a moron and managed to actually walk slowly in the 'Slow walk' exercise. Apparently slowness is subjective, because I thought I was going plenty slowly and Sambo almost fell asleep, but the judges didn't share our opinion and we got 0 points for this exercise (and got no trophy because of that, clap clap). Nevertheless I'm very happy with the trial, Sambo had a wonderful attention and worked really very well. I can't wait for next season and new trials :) (maybe I'll even learn to walk slowly until then...).
