Ooops!

We had another good training session today. The plan was to do a little heeling, a few step offs, finding heel,and some finishes. Since her recalls were not up to my standards yesterday, I decided to practice some fast recalls.

The heeling was a thing of beauty. She looked right at her focal point and she sat quickly on every halt. The hop to step off was good, too. Her finishes were a little better but I still want to see more sparkle from them. I was re-thinking the idea about comparing her to Merlin. In actuality, I have seen her give me what I want. The trick is getting her to want to give it when I ask for it instead of when she feels like it. Morgan enjoyed the cheeseball find heel game and did a good job. She found heel better when I was standing still. I'll need to stay stationary for a couple of days and then move.

Okay so we get to the ooops of my training session. I had started to pack up and remembered that I didn't do the cheeseball game. So I grabbed some kix cereal and went back to the large ring. The game began. Morgan was so happy and excited to play, that she was coming at me so fast, I had to really hoof it to get somw distance from her. I ran and spun around so fast that i caught my foot on the mat and fell. I put my hand out to break my fall but still bumped my head slightly. The wrist was hurt pretty badly and I literally rolled over and over on the floor. I know, such a drama queen. I got up and played the game a couple of times to let Morgan know Mommy still likes her and the game.

Funny thing. Morgan never came to me when I was hurt. I'm not sure if I screamed but I know I moaned. She was just ff gallivanting around the room. Where did I go wrong with this one. Merlin would have been all over me. There I go comparing but Nimue also would have come to me. I just wonder what this says about our relationship.
