Duh

So I realized that something I had been waiting for and thought I could only achieve at a certain moment has actually been right under my nose. It's not the ribbons or the scores it is the deep connection - the bond between human and dog. In that area Fluke and I are first place. We've been training a lot to try our best to finish up this title and in the process I have been reminded that his little body is aging. I have told a few people that he really can't do this much longer - his mind wants to but his body is not the most sound. Some people have told me - oh he can do it - he'll be fine and I started to believe that but, this week I was given a little wake up call. So Fluke has been on a couple of days of rest and I am optimistic that we will be ok to show this weekend. It would be great for everything to go our way but if it doesn't it just means that we flunked another show but we sure have not flunked what's most important in life.
