Bella go zoom!
After the last FastCAT competition we went to in Estes Park, we'd checked for any other upcoming events, but there wasn't anything until February.
Last Saturday, Alex checked again just in case, to discover there was one that was reasonably close... that weekend. Finding out on Saturday meant it was too late for that day, but they were also running on Sunday. I had to work, but Alex could take her!
This one was presented by the Irish Wolfhound club!
The huntmaster from the one in Estes volunteered to release Bella so that Alex could catch her at the finish line.

Pictured after her two runs, apparently wanting to go again!
Her first competition each of her runs was over 30 seconds. Her second event, the one I got to go to, her first run was over 30, but her second was less than half that at 14.21, and I was very proud!
And how did she do this time?

SHE DID SO GOOD!
11.84 and 10.80 seconds!
She really seems to "get it" now, and that was way faster than I expected! I'm so impressed!

And speaking of FastCATs, I never got around to posting her professional pictures from the one in Estes. They had a photographer down past the finish line who photographed the dogs, and then you can buy copies if you want. We bought a couple, just because it was nice to have shots of her running. :)

Liftoff!

On the hunt!
Such intensity for the lure!
