Kim & Kara First Dog Show 11/2022

This is our very first ribbon. That it is blue, has me amazed. When Richard brought Kara home a year ago we had no plan to go to a dog show. When we started training her with Roxanne and Manerly Puppy all we where aiming for was a well behaved farm dog that minded.

I post this picture because it is a visual, showing the result of a year of work and training with Kara. I'm so glad Roxanne incouraged me to go to the show. Because of it, I look at myself and my dog differently. "Wow! We did that." It is quite an esteem builder. Each step along the way. The foundation course, the retrieve course, the titling a dog class built my confidence The actual experience of attending a dog show was exciting. What made it such a fun and a great time was the people that where there with me.

There, was laughter,there were tears. There were lows and highs. Through it all we helped and supported each other. I want to thank Loni, Rebekah, Jessie for all the support and help, at the show and before the show. I love my dog training group! Your all awesome! Most of all I want to thank Roxanne for her patients and believing in me when I did not believe in myself. The dog show was the high point of my 6th decade on this earth. Thank you so much for giving that to me.
