Congratulations are in order

First of all I'd like everyone to stop by and give a big Congrats to Sue and Fudge and Linda and Chesney. These were both Novice A teams that finished their Rally Novice titles this weekend. I'm so proud of both of them!

As for my troop Zodiac earned leg number #7 on his RAE. He scored a 97 in Excellent and a 96 in Advanced for a 3rd place. His effort in Utility was not much improved from his attempt in July. I think we need to do a lot more proofing and solidify the exercises a little more. Or a lot more actually. But at least we know where we stand.

And as for Legend-she finally finished her CD. It took 3 years, lots of maturing and plenty of tries but in the end she Q'd in 3 straight attempts. Her score was not great, thanks in large part to her on-lead heeling. But she did it, plus we got one of these cool rainbow title ribbons.
After the trial I enjoyed lunch with some friends and then Cheri and I took the dogs hiking in a nearby park. It was a good day but I'm beat.
