Emily and Bama Round two.
Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2013 9:44 pm
So, Haven't been on in a while. Extremely busy and traveling alot more than I or my wife would prefer. So, Emily has been a bit upset that we haven't trialed since the Eastern. So, today she ended up having the fever and stayed home from school and got a dose of medicine at the North Jersey Walking Puppy event today. While I don't believe the judges have ever had anyone talk quite that much and not be talking to the dog, they particularly enjoyed the skipping that was going on about half way around the course. She had fun and so did all of us watching her make a puppy event look like a lot of fun. Her and Bama took second, and in a truly respectable manner the NJBC also awarded a Junior Handler ribbon.
I wanted to go ahead and post this to try and get more people to bring the youngsters into this sport and to get more clubs to make a great effort to make it an enjoyable and fun event for the young. I give a lot of credit to both the Eastern GSP club and The North Jersey club for having junior ribbons. I think those ribbons meant more to her than the ribbons Bama got. She really felt like she earned those ribbons. As we were driving home, she asked for her ribbons that were in the front seat. She sat in the back seat and all I heard as she stared at the ribbons was " God, I love this. Can't wait for the next one.
Not sure when that will be but I will be looking. Work schedule is killing the trial season. I did surprise her with a daddy daughter trip in May though. We will be entering both puppy events in the Oak Ridge Pointing club trial Walking Trial on Memorial weekend in Polk, PA. We just had to make sure we spend a couple of nights away from the boys. I can't wait. Should be alot of fun.
Hope you enjoy!
