You can go to the link which is basic coverage, and then on the left hand side, there are more photos, Cassanova is # 15.

On Saturday my awesome husband and our incredible dog kicked some tail at the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge, winning 3 knockout elimination rounds at the Incredible 60 Weave Pole Challenge to finish

FIRST!!!!!!

And advance to the National competion at Purina Farms this fall!

They were so awesome and I'm so proud of them both!

The event should air on ESPN 2 later this summer--hopefully we'll have more information later on the big event's TV debeut!!

Michael really saved the day by offering to run Casssanova when I'm too pregnant to run and breathe at the same time, and Cassanova did an awesome job running with his daddy!

Congrats all around!!!

Thanks, everyone! It was a blast running Cassanova. He worked his butt off, all I did was line him up and let him go!

Yeah, Matt, it is in St. Louis. We'll definitely let you know when we are going to the nationals. I think it is in October.

Ha Ha! You'd be waiting a l-o-n-g time for puppies from us--all of our guys are spayed and neutered. All the work in health testing, showing and temperment testing that is involved in raising a litter is too much work for me. Not to mention too expensive if you do all the right stuff!

No, it's easier for me to do the research and make the investment on a puppy.

OR we go to Dobe rescue and pick a dog who is getting a 2nd chance...or in Jessie's case...we try to train a dog and move her on to her next home and she decides she's not moving!

Cassanova can be such a spitfire to work with that I can't IMAGINE what a pain in the butt he'd be if he had hormones! Zowza!

So you'll have to make due with a visit from us--we'll just have our human puppy <G>.
