Finally some Ribbons!

Yesterday, I got 1st place in USDAA Starters Jumpers, and today I got 2nd place in Starters Jumpers for my starters jumpers title.

I got my second starters pairs leg today, also second place.

I would have had a lot more except for the fact that I suffer big time from IHS (inept handler syndrome). :-) Mom screwed up the rest of my runs. Good dog, shame about the handler! I am waaaaayyyy too good to be stuck in starters!!!!

Love Jazzy

My Best Friend

I see you running across the field --
  playing with the others,
  Chasing balls, squirrels, possums, cats --
      you're not picky.
  Always the chaser -- never the chased.

I see you greeting the children
  as they run to you --
  They see you as a big, fluffy toy.
  You don't even growl when they pull your tail
      and your ears.

I see you greeting your friends --
  always smiling
  that look of pure delight
     when they rub your ears.

I see your "hummingbird" tail -
 wagging furiously
 as you locate something/ someone
     in the bushes.

I see you sleeping -
 your arms outstretched
     as though you were praying.
Have you found Him?

Has He taken you into His arms
 and told you what a good dog you are -
 and what a good job you did
     getting me not just to love you -
 but teaching me how to accept your love?
Has He said - well done, good
 and faithful servant?
Has He given you another field
     with green grass
 and balls, possums, squirrels and cats to chase?

You are free, now
 my puppy.
You are not bound by your old, tired body -

Go in peace, then.

And remember --
 you will always be
     my buddy, my pal,
     my love,
     my best friend.


This blog is dedicated to my best friend, Moose - Standard Poodle, who taught me how to be loved.  Rest well my friend.
