I am SO proud of her. We went because agility is fun, and to end up doing this well was a huge surprise. And it WAS fun. Yay!!!!!

Julie and Chrisse did a fabulous job. Chrisse got nervous on the teeter totter, but if it hadn’t been for that they would have had a title too. The teeter was pretty bouncy. Maisie lost a few points on our first run because she got nervous and didn’t go straight off the end. The judge said after the first run that most dogs were having problems with it, but because a few were doing it fine she was going to take points off. Chrisse was VERY brave. And when we did the walk through (which you do with your dog at this level) even the judge was cheering Chrisse on. :)

I’d like to say I’m working hard on my novel, but I’m not — I’m focusing instead on Zingerding. We’re barreling toward our beta launch and there is a ton of work left to do. (Sign up to participate in our beta!)

The novel is actually in progress, although things have slowed to a snail-like pace. I’m doing historical research to make sure that the time/place feel is as accurate as I can make it.

In my copious spare time, I’ve started volunteering for Rocky Mountain Cattle Dog Rescue. Don’t worry, I won’t be bringing any more dogs home (yet…). I’m working on the website and am volunteering at events when I can squeeze them in.
