Al's First Running Contacts

December 28, 2005

Al had his first run over the A Frame and under the hoop.  It was pretty cool outside, and really fun to watch.  He charged over the frame and ran "under" and turned hard left, and then the first time he did this he kept running hard, and I yelled "Wiggle" and he corrected his course so he could have a fast entry to the poles, and he charged through the poles to my screams of delight!  I was 30 feet from the weave pole entry and hadn't even crossed the plain for the upside of the flattened A Frame. 

Al got his lunch as a reward, and then I asked Heather to film him after lunch, and he did the same thing again!!  He loves it, and is totally focused on getting through the "under" and on to the next thing.  He's on a mission!!  When he exits from end of the weave poles I am 15 feet away to the side of the camera position.
