With the temperatures in triple digits, it was simply too hot to work Star, or any of the dogs. So, this week I take a look back at when we started, how far we have come and where we are today. Here is an excerpt:At almost exactly 11 months of age, I recently put Star's name on a sanctioned nursery entry form to be run not far from my home over New Years. My little guy is growing up and has come full circle from a rambunctious puppy, to an over-burdened youngster, to a well-trained young dog with confidence and ever-burgeoning self-esteem. It feels to me that he has turned a corner to enter the next phase of his life.
I will be judging a dog trial in Carbondale, Colorado, 30 minutes from Aspen this October 16-18. It is being held in preparation for a possible National Finals bid in 2011. Please visit the Strang Ranch website for more information and an entry form. It is a breathtaking venue, and whether you plan to watch or compete, I hope to see you there.
