It is looking like Claire might get a TDX track after all — and that means I need to change gears yet again to make the most of this week’s practice opportunities. The test is Sunday.
Claire and I are attending a two-day obedience starting today — because four days of working a dog show was not quite enough!
Such a great show — put on your calendar for 2020!
But oh man — the blog ideas are percolating from that show:

Most owner-handlers are really bad.
Is it good sportspersonship to build a major with your own dogs?
Surprise! Judges are human!
Relationship between a human and a dog — and lack thereof — is really obvious.
Clothing choices — Oh.My. Heck.

And so on.
And I have a whole list of…
And don’t wear that, don’t be that, and so on…
HAPPY MONDAY! I dare you…
