Started the year in Indio at the KC of Palm Springs as usual. Teaz wasn't able to put together a UD leg but was closer than I thought she would be.
Rapid did well in Wild Card Novice and won that class, and Proxy earned her first GO leg with First (she was the only entry ;-)).

A few wildflowers are out in the desert, Sand Verbena and something I haven't ID'd yet.

Next we drove out to Arizona to run Teaz in a hunt test. I had to suffer,
driving out to the grounds at dawn! ;-) But it was worth it as she earned her second JH leg.

I was only able to find one new (to me) wildflower, Rocket Garden Mustard,
but when I got home I found that one of the house plants had bloomed, an Impatien.

The next weekend was back to obedience. It was cold so LK watched the ring from the van! Teaz got
sooo close to a leg on Sunday but didn't take the bar. Proxy earned her second GO leg with first place.

Next was local, briefly. Rapid debuted in Novice at the local Schip club in San Bernardino
at the National Orange Showgrounds. His performance was less than stellar but he did get his first leg with Second place.

We drove out to Boulder City for two small trials that evening. The next day his performance was a little better
and he earned his second CD leg with another Second place. Teaz had fun in Utility ...
