We Won
btw: i really do have a dog named nancy though she hurt her leg as a puppy and can not do agility By Kale Allerion
One morning, Kale Allerion, woke up to see her dog Nancy in her bed and her friend Leetu in the next bed. She wondered why they were in a hotel. Then she remembered. Nancy was in the National Agility Course in Goleta, CA! If she would win and become a champion her parents will finally let her breed her. If? …”I hope she wins”, she thought out loud. Then she looked at a picture she always keeps next to her bed. It was Nancy as a puppy at 8 weeks. She was doing tricks in the first week she got her and she knew then she would be a champion one day. She has worked hard all year for this day to come so she can prove she is the best agility dog in the country. Now Nancy and Kale were up and ready to go. She really wanted her to win.
Kale was nervous - really nervous. So many people were there to watch, what if Nancy forgot ……another dog did the run through and now it was Nancy’s turn. Oh there was the collapse tunnel. Since day 1 this has been the worst. Oh no a point deduction.
“Look Leetu, Nancy’s in second place in only the first round, and only 2 seconds short.” Kale said. Kale had to wait and watch 10 other dogs. Kale daydreamed about how many hours she had worked day and night, dry and wet. All the effort she put in to be here this day.
During the second round Kale could not believe it – Nancy was tied for 1st place! Leetu asks Kale if she wanted a drink. “No”, Kale said, “I am too nervous to drink.” Kale stayed and watched. The other dog looked hard to beat and the owner looked like this was competition. ‘Well’ Leetu said with that hungry kind of look “during the break do you want anything?” “Sure” Kale said, “My nerves are much calmer now, I will have a root beer and nachos.”
“Oh my goodness, we won! We did it!” Kale yelled. “We came in first place by 5 seconds.” Kale raced to Nancy and whispered, “We did it. We won 1st place.” Then Kale saw the prize - $100,000.99, a trophy, and medal. Kale thought this was the best day of her life. Kale said to Leetu, “I’m glad you came to see my dream come to life.”
