Saturday, under Judge Dave Coleman, my big, black dog MarHaven's Ace of Spades got his first points. Thank you to co-owner Carolyn Martello for breeding this marvelous boy and then for letting him live with me. He brings joy into all that he does. Thank you to co-owner Debbie Kaser for supporting him ringside even though your own boy was in the same class. Thank you Bill Basu for stepping in when I arrived Friday without a handler. You did a fine job with him. You were also gracious in dealing with my limitations. I had a total knee replacement 11 weeks ago and Bill made sure to set him up so that I would not have go that far to "get ears." Bill also took that "extra" moment to get ready so that I could make it around to the other side of the ring. I also owe thanks to those that supported him both days. Again, thank you Carolyn for sending Ace my way. We will be back in the agility ring as soon as I move with more grace that Grandpa McCoy. Boy, am I showing my age.
