Jeannie’s Retirement

On August 13th, Lance, Jean and I went to the Obedience Training Club of Greater Lansing and did AKC Rally.   There, Jeannie got her last double Q for her RAE title and Lance his last leg for his RE title.    All three runs with placements.   And, Ms. Jeannie never NQ’d in her rally quest – yeah Jean.  A nice day, though no air conditioning and it was 92 degrees.

Attached is a picture of Jeannie with Judge Charles McMillan (not one of our best shots) and a picture of her doing agility a few years back (well more than a few, but I love the shot).   And, I am proud to say, that I also retired Ms. Jeannie from competition and told her she could be a couch potato.   For being a “rescue GSD” and one that due to over vacination has had many health issues, I am proud of Jeannie.   She is retiring with 48 titles to her name and a couple of certificates.   (this is Jean’s brag really).   She’s still very healthy, but I think she’s worked well for me and she can just have fun.   Jeannie will be 11 years on November 1st and she’s been showing since she was 1 and 1/2 years old.    I am here to say – people, you can do lots with rescue dogs!    Jeannie’s official title name is . . . .
