Dance Tess, Dance!!

Ok, so it's not a dog picture, but I like it anyway. We can't ignore the local residents who freeload in our backyard.

My Little Dancer

I was so proud of Miss Tess tonight that I could just burst. I figured after the great week and big strides she's made in learning her tricks that she would make a fool out of me in class. She was AMAZING! We got loads of compliments from the trainer and everyone watching. She did a flawless crawl while heeling, then a distance crawl to me as well as a spinning recall. When the routine starts going together, it's going to be amazing. Ray said that she has picked up so quickly and is doing so well that instead of having a nice little routine, we are going to "go for the gold!" I am really pumped. It's hard to believe this is the same dog who embarrassed me to tears at our first competition.
