We had to find a ball that would sink, so he would run as fast as he could, jump out as far as possible, and head for the bottom, where he would pick up the ball and bring it to whoever threw it. He loved water. His best day was under Pearl in the rain. He opened up to another level. I remember having dinner with Ed Barritt one night and he said, "The best shoulder I ever saw was your dog in bred by in Sacramento." Tedi and I couldn't figure out who he was talking about, and as we continued to discuss it, we realized he was talking about a show 13 years prior, and it was Whep. He was entered in Bred-By by mistake. We had always heard that Ed wanted to put up the open dog if he could. Twyla was upset, but we went ahead. Then when we came back into winners, after two times around I heard Ed point to me and say, "Go to one". So, I went to the front where Art Sinclair was on the Open dog, and said, "No, Evan, he said, "You"re the one." I didn't believe Art, but as I looked up, there was Ed, bringing the Winner's Dog Ribbon out to me. Just one more memory, and reason I should not be handling dogs.
