Another one bites the dust...

I have achieved another goal for each of the boys... finishing Piper's USDAA PDCH and Seeker's USDAA ADCH.... Both titles were done quietly, with little celebration because that is kind of how USDAA is. There are usually no win laps or ADCH/PDCH bars. Sometimes there is cake, other times there isn't. We, however, will be having cupcake cake this weekend to celebrate these accomplishments as well as Nancy Craig's Shine's Bronze ADCH. We will celebrate with friends at an agility trial, where else?

I have several other agility goals for both the boys. We are still in pursuit of those elusive AKC MACHs with Piper needing 3 QQs and Seeker needing 8 QQs. We have also found great fun and friends in CPE. So there, I am hoping to have them both qualified for CPE Nationals which are in OH next year and achieving their C-ATCHs. And for Seeker, when he's older.... much older... his PDCH. Because jumping him at 16" any time soon is scary!

As long as they are having fun and loving what they do, I will keep at it. Gem is a work in progress and I am in no hurry to have her in the ring. I am still amazed that people are actually competing with dogs her age. We are nowhere near ready for that. She is enjoying obedience and our next order of business is trying for our CGC and TDInc certification. Gem is an athlete, quick, agile and smart. We have plenty of time for the rest of it.

It is all about having fun! Run clean, run fast and give it hell! But most of all... HAVE FUN!!!!
