Good for Pip (and thank you to Lucy Goo also!)



Today we went to Rhode Island for Pip's second Advanced showing in Rally. We have never been to this building before and starting time was scheduled for 8:35 am.

Other then some stress related sniffing, Pippi did awesome! We received a score of 100 and First Place! I was very surprised - I'm not sure I would have scored it with a 100 - but I am not the judge. As the judge handed me the ribbons she indicated that she does not give out 100's very lightly - How awesome is that. I will say that there was not a single exercise that Pip did not perform for me or correctly. Her walking/heeling was not up to her standards - but we will continue working on that.

We had a lovely ride back as well. After doing a tail gate lunch in the parking, Al and I hit the road. Looked back into the doggie condo and Luchy was passed out on Pip's back and Pip was sleeping on Lucy's leg. Once again - an example of how much Lucy has brought to the house and Pippi. She has never curled up wth anyone - and there is plenty of room in the doggie condo for her to move away if she cared to. Every week I see changes since Lucy joined us.

Next week we are entered in Rally again both Saturday Sunday. We will continue to work on all until then.
