Well, I took the "old man" - Devine's Independence Day (Indy - his birthday is today - he's 7 years young) with me to the shows this weekend - he hasn't gotten to go with us for the past few years and I promised him he could go this time, so he was VERY excited - we entered Rally Obedience both days and he went fourth highest in trial on Saturday and second highest in trial on Sunday with scores of 95 and 94! YIPPEE!! So....my boy has four legs to run on and two to brag about! We had a great time - I was surprised we did so well since I haven't laid hands on him obedience-wise since this same club had a rally match last summer, but he came through with flying colors - which tells me this dog is just begging for more "work" to do - sounds like a plan to me! For anyone who hasn't tried Rally, it is really fun - I'd highly recommend it. We're planning on going to the next show they offer it at to see if we can't get our third leg and his RN! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
