Blackfoot — one of my most favorite shows. What makes this year even more amazing is that some of most favorite people are also here. This photo from an 18th birthday is a hint about two of those people (and their dogs)…
And yes — that was a DOG’s 18th birthday party!!!! How awesome is that?!
I showed Claire in obedience yesterday — just for fun. She did well and won her class — thanks to Jennifer G for the photo and for being here…
Capella is showing in breed and doing well, but no points. She looks young still — her time will come.
Beauty pageant is fun — no question. But other things matter to me even more. Capella’s Super Power keeps being revealed. Her kind approach and regard for the man in the wheelchair. Greeting a woman recovering from a stroke with such respect that the woman said, “she has such a gentle soul.” And this today…
She stepped carefully through the tangle of kid legs to be close to everyone. SO touching.
In addition to reminding me of her calling as a therapy dog, Capella did a Fast CAT run and then — what the heck — we tried hanging out with sheep. Capella earned her first title today — she is now Capella HIC (Herding Instinct Certified). It looked like this…
I hope you are having a wonderful Friday — we sure are.
