Rally Match
We went to a rally match today in East Lansing. I signed up twice. The first run wasn’t bad, but there were some mistakes, probably b/c I was nervous (the signs were APDT
and there were a few that we never learned for AKC novice). They were also having a horse-shoeing seminar in the same building, so there was constant noise of horses spooking, pounding on
metal, a mouse was running in and out along the wall, and there was this strong burning smell. For our second run, I tried to pretend it was a real trial (ditched the treat pouch) and we did
really good, just a few slow sits and out of positions. I asked what the AKC score would have been and the judge said about 93. Woohoo! I will TAKE a 93! Yeah it was only a match,
but five months ago I’d never even heard of “rally”! Here is a pic of us practicing something (leave dog, call to heel, I think):

Haus
He’s gone, but he will never be forgotten. It was very peaceful, he was a good boy right to the end, he went into a down with one command and rolled over on his side as to say okay mom I know
and I don’t want this to be hard for you. Without even a sigh he just went, peacefully with what seemed to be no regret. He trusted me that this was right…
This is how we will remember him:
