Tara backpacking

No there is no weight in the bag, she's too little for that, but we're just practicing. She doesn't mind at all, and I think she looks wonderful with a backpack on. Backpacking titles here we come! : )

We missed Boston

I have what we think is viral pneumonia, as do two other members of my family, and have been sick for 3 wks, and I'm still not better yet. So we decided that it would be very bad for my health to go to Boston, so no RN for Tara this year. We might try to catch some shows in either Jan. or Feb. to make up for it though. I figured I'd let you all know, I'm sure Tara could've done it had we been there though, but now we'll have so much time to practice that she should get awesome scores, lol. Oh well. : )

Tara gets her first AKC Rally Novice leg today!

Just two more to go! We went 3rd out of 7 dogs with a score of 83/100. We had to get a 70 to qualify, and we did just fine. Not too bad for a distractable adolescent. And she was so happy too. That's the best part, is that she is having fun. So yeah for Tara, we are 1/3 of our way to our RN, hopefully we will finish it next weekend in Boston. I'll post a photo later, right now I'm going to take a nap since we left maine at 4:30am and then drove back to MA, and I'm exhausted. She's not though, and is having a great time tearing around the house with toys. Woo-hoo Tara!
