What A Summer

We finally have time to reflect on just how much we have accomplished this summer and it is mind-boggling. Currently our German Shepherd, Deku, is being campaigned by his breeder in the PA and Ohio area, look for him at a show in the area.

The big stars of the summer have been Raven and Rosie. Raven may not have earned any titles this summer but what she did was beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of. Raven was my service dog during a very difficult time where I helped make sure that a person was punished to the fullest extent of the law. Raven helped me to be able to get on the witness stand and testify, while making sure that I didn’t have any issues with PTSD. She handled the intense rigors of court perfectly, she even passed security multiple times. Raven also helped make sure that I navigated the city streets of Norfolk with ease, including not being phased by the new rail system. As Raven’s breeder, I couldn’t be prouder of what she has done.

Rosie on the other hand earned a new title and it was a breed first, a BCAT title in Fast CAT. She is also just one point away from her CM title. Rosie broke the breed record for Best in Open Show wins in June, by going back-to-back Best in Open Show. She then won a group and was in group placements almost every single time she was shown in Raleigh, NC. Rosie has been invited to the AKC National Invitational for Fast CAT as well. She just loves Fast CAT and I will let her run as long as she wants to.
