I am, without a doubt, the worst double-handler in the world. JR Alcantara, Cindy Tellefsen, and Jerry Guzman deserve my Annual Patience of Job Award for putting up with my lack of ability to focus and be logical when my dog is in the ring. At the National a few years back, I was given a whistle to assist a friend double-handle the dog in the ring. She said, "Just toot it once." I did and she immediately took it away from me and disappeared!! I have NO idea how I could screw that up, but, I managed!! That being said, the best my beautiful Ch. DianaBanana has ever looked was when she decided to ignore me and double off of Jan Coleman at one show, and Linda Freeny at another. I have no idea why, as the three of us don't exactly look like sisters!! I think that Ch. DianaBanana was just feeling sorry for me those days!!

On one go-around, she was running one way and I was running the other. We ran full smack right into each other....I said "oh, Hi Charlotte" and she says "oh, Hi Jamie" and we went right back to it. I've forgotten who won that day, but I'll never forget the wreck. LOL. Jamie ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
