Great job on the show, and while 59 isn't what you'd hoped for, some judges are just sour old goats. There's a certain one in my area as well that I want to run away from if I see her glaring at me out of the judge's box like I'm something nasty she just trod in, LOL!Firnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805076661186739474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-13423270068585317122021-05-11T10:57:29.485-04:002021-05-11T10:57:29.485-04:00Every now and then it's nice to hear a discipl...Every now and then it's nice to hear a discipline has as jacked up judging as mine sometimes, though sorry you had to be the victim of it!

He was having a blast, until he wasn't, and that's when he finally let me catch him. Which is the point of me sending him off again with a cluck if he doesn't show me that he's ready for me to catch him by standing still or moving toward me. It's hard work until you allow it to not be hard work, buddy!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-66049327951925643352021-05-10T12:30:17.818-04:002021-05-10T12:30:17.818-04:00Yes, and very soon, this coming weekend!Yes, and very soon, this coming weekend!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-56980585406534805252021-05-10T12:30:00.413-04:002021-05-10T12:30:00.413-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846330497859393721.post-15819526531689974742021-05-10T12:27:32.855-04:002021-05-10T12:27:32.855-04:00The look on his face while running around.
