Catching Up

Oh wow. Talk about blogging slacker. If you only read this one, you're probably  confused. I have been sick and I didn't have enough energy to focus on two blogs. 



The Aussie girls have done well in the few trials I've entered them in. Java's running slowly but is doing everything asked of her, I think she's just trying to pace me. My poor running ability affected our consistency for awhile but I look forward to that correcting itself. Trin is running just great now, she got 4th in PSJ finals this past weekend, slow weaves, but she won a couple classes at the AKC shows she's been in. I should pull that video, she had a kick ass STD run recently.

Gary did the Great American Teach In this year. We got some pictures. 



Trin takes this stuff very seriously. It's an important job making kids smile. 



Bayer!!! The kids just think this is like meeting Bono. Right. Except they don't know who Bono is so it's better than meeting Bono. Gary said before he even gets Bayer out of the car the kids start chanting. Nothing like whipping a bunch of second graders into a frenzy. :)



Jelly Bean!! It's a bit confusing to have a dog named Java Bean I guess. She looks surprisingly bigger from this perspective and is not surprisingly not catching a disc. 



This is a friend of ours, Mike, showing Fergie to the kids. Fergie loves this job too. 


It's all about Trin now though. My FB profile picture has been changed to this, Trin looks SO happy:




And I'm SO looking forward to the Invitational with my girl, it's bittersweet too, I just can't afford to trial all three. I've decided to only take Java to nationals in Reno, she can fly in cabin which is a big deciding factor too. I haven't done enough AKC to really pull out another Invitational invite with Trin and while I thought about getting her a MACH2... it seems kind of silly now. I mean, would she care? Not even a smidge. She does it for me, it's almost couch time Trin, almost. So we're doing an AKC show in 2 weeks and then the Invitational. I only entered Java and Kate in the New Years show. It's going to be ok. Really. Trin is going to love retirement, it's just me who has a hard time LETTING her.
