When it comes to showing my dogs I rarely place the blame on them when we do not do well. They are not the ones that ask to walk into the ring and they certainly do not fill out the entry blank and write the entry check (sometimes I wish they did write that check!). I was hoping to qualify but I also knew that I had not trained her down stay enough to expect her to hold it for 3 minutes with me standing at the other end of the ring (if I could have stood two feet from her she may have held it). So that was our downfall in Novice B obedience, we were 0 for 2 for the weekend. I'm not too concerned that we failed to qualify, I know what needs work and since the entry to the next show has already been mailed I have a deadline to meet and we'll meet it. I'm also lucky to have a good trainer to work with who will make sure we are on the right track. Stay tuned for that report early next month.
A co-worker took this picture of Swing on a recent visit and I think it really shows her personality. I love that crooked smile and little wink in the shot. She makes me smile every day.
