Today, she does not one round (of 4) tunnels, but two.
Today, she fails her first leap, somewhat succeeds the second, nails the third. Leaping = jumping into my arms, 4-5ft away, from a height of 2-3ft up.
Today, on leaping round two: THREE OF THREE PERFECT!
So. damn. proud. of. her.

A month ago, started working with her on 'tunnel' : passing through a pair of tires, fixed in the earth. Not a skill she picked up readily. Now she can do four in a row, without error.
She likes to jump atop the tires, and then rest her forepaws on me.
So worked on leaping, these past 2 weeks.

This doggo, have had her since she was 3mo old.
The first puppy I've raised on my own.
From the start, she clambered over sofas like a seasoned sherpa--nicknamed her Little Lynx.
Experimented with agility training, early this year.
She took to it like a hand-to-glove.

--no oversight of the duty-collection yields errors everywhere

National Parks have reduced staff, due to federal governance shutdown. Such a critical element of preservation, these parks, yet remain grossly underfunded.
Were we to make America great again, one big step : invest enormously in fully funding National Parks and ecological restoration.

How often do we sustain such, towards the desired outcome?
