SchnOctoberfest 2009

by | Oct 4, 2009 | Canine, Daily life

We had a great time at the fifth annual SchnOcoberfest fundraiser for the North Carolina Schnauzer Rescue on Saturday afternoon. We took Riesling for a two mile walk before the 30 minute drive to the event, so she was pretty chill by the time we got there.

Riesling looking at me

The organizers had set up a few agility course items, but nothing I said was going to make Riesling enter the tube thing.

nothing you say will make me want to go in there
There is no way I am going in there.

She was more game for the jumping obstacles, but I had to put a bar underneath the top one or she would just schooch underneath. No one said she wasn’t clever.

jump!
wheeee!

Riesling and I tried our luck at the sit & stay competition but she was eliminated after a few distractions. I was most proud that she wasn’t the first up! After that, she spent a little time as the donation dog while we hung out in the shade to cool off.

All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day to be outside with 50 mini schnauzers!
