A Fancy White Rosette for Bodhi

Hi Woody,
It's your brother Bodhi here with some good news! I had a fun day yesterday at the Souhegan Kennel Club's Obedience show in Amherst NH.
Miss W and I traveled down with Corina and Scott and their two dogs Lucas and Jadis. It was a little scary for Jadis and I, as we had never done indoor competition. I hated the doorways! Creepy! But I loved seeing all the obedience dogs and all the nice people with treats in every pocket.


I was in Rally novice A, and it was fun! I did great and only lost one point out of 100. Miss W was her usual self, took us the wrong way around a circle and did one other dumb thing and lost 13 points for handler error! But still, we got 86, which was better than our last go and we got a 4rth place and a pretty ribbon, a rosette AND a stuffed sheep!!!!! We are 2/3 of the way to our Rally title.

Everyone was very proud of me, because I did my healing perfect and I paid very close attention to my W the whole time. I was pretty close to perfect, I was just in the mood to do it. I was really hoping for crackers, but Miss W had eaten them all before we went in.


Lucas and Jadis were in Novice B and both also got the special green ribbon that means qualification. They also got very high scores and their mommy is very proud of them. They did not get big fat stuffed sheep like me! Actually, I thought it was cute till Miss W made it squeak and then I was grossed out. I let the puppy Tart have it, who let old Ranger have it, who pulled all the stuffing out. Ranger is helping me type this right now, he is good with computers.

So Corina said she thought maybe our cute little sister Dahlia ought to have a go at this stuff too, seeing how good I am! She thinks Dahlia is not too smart, boy does Dahlia have them fooled...

Well Woody, my ribbon is next to your GORGEOUS red 1st place one's on the Miss W's fridge. I think she is well pleased with us all. I think this means we can start running in harness full time for a while and look forward to lots of chilly adventures now, and warm fun ones next spring and summer!

Love to you all,
Bodhi - wearing a brand new green collar that goes with my green qualifying ribbons!
