quick usdaa nationals update
I havent been back to the library, so this is on my blackberry and will be very short. Austie is running GREAT, and taking him to the line has been pure joy each time. I still get a thrill to see how much he loves to play this game! He was just a half a sec out of stp finals, and i believe the top placing non-bc. Smitty is nothing short of amazing!

She has picked up a rather annoying habit of going crazy before I set her up on the startline (fierce barking, growling and snapping) but then sniffing the entire time I lead out....crazy mo

MACH2 Austin!
With all the *lack* of blogging, I realized I missed mentioning this as well...on Oct 4, Austin finished up double Q #40! I never in a million years would have thought that we could ever be that consistent! He is such a star. I love my red boy.Oh, and here's one of the runs...grace and all!
