We have been here for a couple of days and today was the first "official" day of things to be done. We arrived on site and moved into our crating space. In very short order there was no doubt Canada was in the building and ready to play.
Next order of business was getting the whole team checked in which involved verifying paperwork, scanning microchips and measuring. Typically all this fuss and bother upsets Pint but today he was a man of steel and he stood up on that table so proud and confident. We got a perfect measurement for him which tells me we are raring to go!
Our "official" team practice was at 10:30 am and management had a plan and a strategy. We divided the course into four areas and split the dogs by height class. Canada left a message out there that we are a finely tuned machine. Everyone looked brilliant! Pint ran brilliantly and handled the environment so well. I can't wait to run him tomorrow.
Our day ended with the opening ceremonies which as always is a short affair but a great part of the event. You walk into a room behind your flag and this is your moment to show the world (or a portion of it) how proud you are to be Canadian.
Back at the hotel, bag packed for tomorrow and all ready for bed. I am actually to excited to sleep I think but Pint is passed out and that is what is important.
