Ruby is 22 weeks and 3 days old. 5 months and a little bit.
We went out with the big boys to the Training Day. Shelley did great -- she ran a double and several long blinds. The first time I ran her it was like she had forgotten everything she knew over the Christmas holidays . . . she broke, she wouldn't heel, she lost sight of her marks, she popped every ten feet on the blind . . . but she apparently got all that out of her system on the first run. All the other dogs had similar symptoms of Christmas Layoff -- as the team leader said, "Too much time in front of the TV with the chips and dip . . ."
It was SO cold - just the low 30s, but there was a sharp wind blowing and we were on top of a hill. The dogs didn't care a bit, but we did!
Didn't get any shots of Shelley, because my husband was manning one of the bird stations while I was running her.
