Wow, am I exhausted. I forgot what it was like to have a teenager running around. And, another person to worry about :-) Melissa pretty much filled you in but I just wanted to add a couple thoughts. The weekend, overall was a lot of fun. No, we didn't get any major wins, though both the girls were in the ribbins on Friday. Sat was a bummer. Both girls fell in the ring. It shook Jessica up as she had been worried about falling and did. She recovered quickly and finished the class like a Pro. Melissa took my girl, Maggie, into Juniors. Maggie had a great time but had no clue what a Juniors dog was supposed to do, lol! They did a good job tho and probably would've done better if I hadn't messed them up by being in the wrong place :-( Guess Maggie and I both have a lot to learn about this Juniors stuff. Sunday rounded out the weekend with the girls and the dog showing beautifully. A big thank you goes out to Jen for giving Melissa a chance to show Jesse. And, to Stephen Cabral for taking time to work with Jessica and build her confidence back up so she was willing to get back in the shepherd ring on Sun. Lots more fun to be had. Don't forget about Disneyland on the 25th. Laura Thomas http://www.treasureranchgsds.com/ ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
