Winning

Big congratulations are in order to Team Margie Moonshadow who got the first points towards her championship yesterday — with a major!

A dog needs 15 points to be a champion, but that has to include two majors. Points are based on the number of dogs competing. A major means there were enough other dogs that the number of points awarded to the winner is three, four, or the maximum points that can be earned at one show — five.

Getting majors can be tough — you have to find a show that has enough competition, and then you have to win.

Great Job, Team Margie! And so much gratitude to Toby for everything she is and does ❤️

Margie’s littermate, Maple, thinks she won big time with all the snow we have here in Montana.

My dogs agree — they love the snow! Thanks for Lee and Adri for keeping me in Maple pictures.

I finally got the official badge from Pet Partners this week…

Being able to spread joy in the world — with a dog — is such an amazing gift. To me! I am so grateful for the dog and the opportunities she provides to do good things together.

Happy Saturday, Friends!
