And though she be but little...

She is FIERCE!  That is a quote from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" that describes my Tesla perfectly!!!  Look for a T-shirt with that quote and a picture of Tes on it soon...  :-)   Inspiration can come from the past as well as the present.

Tesla's Tunneler's run from PDT, Mira Mesa, CA

Tesla had her second Intro Q (qualifier) in Tunnelers at the PDT, August 10, 2014 NADAC Trial.  Here is a link to her run.  Sorry that I don't have it directly here, but the video I have is HUGE, and it wouldn't upload to the blogger site very well, and I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

It was much better handling on my part than her first Q, and she stayed away from the off course tunnel at the end... very proud of my girl!

More recently:  We had a nice time in Mammoth again last weekend.  We hiked at Convict Lake, and enjoyed a relaxing trial.  Tesla earned another Q in Intro Tunnelers to earn her first Intro title!  We have no videos from the weekend, but it was once again a beautiful trial.  Hutch and Tesla and I had a blast! 

She is having fear issues in the ring involving contacts, so we are going to take it a little slow and help her realize they aren't scary.  Our next trial is in Prescott, AZ.  I am trying to get her used to traveling and new trial locations, and that she needs to behave regardless of where she is...  Wish us much luck...
