Sharlet and MaryEllen have returned from the Great Falls, Missoula, Montana shows with all kinds of loot! Shar's dog, Ryder, gained two titles!! He came home with his American CD and AKC Advanced Rally titles. MaryEllen's shorthair, Gracie, finished her Advanced Rally title with 99/100 High in Class. Congratulations to both ladies.

Judi has been taking herding lessons in High River with Token and Mesa and is thrilled with the progress after just four lessons.

Louann has Never joining the crew as well. Lore has been at it seriously for some time now and will more than likely be far ahead of the rest of us when we get to the July RCC trials. We are on 'hold' right now as our instructor is gone off competing with her own dogs. Unless we can find some sheep time in the next week, we may lose the gains we made last week.

Lee has been working hard with Bess so that I can show her at AKC. If she keeps going the way she is, I could be in Open before I know it. As soon as Bess finishes her Rally Excellent title, Lee will take over the rally competitions and I will stick with Obedience.

Time for Shaggy Muffin (yes, it's a German shepherd) to get off the porch and into the ring as well, so I will need some refresher runs in the conformation ring to see if she will even stack. Thankfully, there is a Pups in the Park Fun Day tomorrow at Henderson Lake. We must go. Hope to see many of you there. My young dogs really need to meet and greet some dog people.
