Someone asked me the other day, "What do you like about agility?"

Innocent enough question, but the way it was said and who it was said by meant the real question was, "Why do you run around a field with a dog and get it to jump things?"

And I normally just ignore this particular person because they're so full of shit, but I actually thought about their question- or rather questions, voiced and silent- and realised that this is one of the only things I can answer without a shadow of doubt.

Why do I do agility with my dogs? Why do I enjoy agility?

Because it makes us smile.

And that's really it.
