On August 23, 2009 my “big blue handsome man”, otherwise known as Stormy, finished his OTCH!!!!!!!!!! Stormy and I have been training in obedience and working toward his Obedience Trial Championship for a very long time. We have had to make it through many roadblocks along the way, our biggest was a nearly crippling shoulder injury that had him out of commission for most of 2008.
In spite of it all, Stormy has had an incredible career; he has been high in the obedience rankings in every level. I have been blessed and honored to be in the ring with such an amazing dog!! I owe my heartfelt thanks to our dear friend and trainer Marianna Beard, without her guidance we would never have been able to see this through.
I still can’t believe we finally did it, we completed the journey all the way from Novice A to OTCH! I will be on cloud 9 for a long time to come!
Celebrating with a hug!
My web site has recently had a complete makeover and this blog was added. Now that Stormy will be “semi-retired”, I will use some of that free time (LOL) to learn how to use this area and keep it updated with the activities of my fur-kids.
