RPM Flyball Tourney

Eden ran singles at the RPM flyball tournament in Hastings, MI today. She was feeling pretty spry until her second race when the other dog crossed over and physically dominated Eden's space, not allowing her to continue her run. The dog did not leave until my box loader came and got into her space (thanks Becky!) and Eden felt safe enough to run back to me. She tried to run the next time but the dog crossed early again and Eden totally wilted. I was really, really upset but kept an up-beat, happy tone so that Eden would not think anything was amiss. When she creeped back to me, I took the advice of the sideline judge and ran with her so that she could succeed and end on a happy note while Mom was there to protect her. Poor little Eden :-(
