You would think that as responsible dog owners we wouldn’t have to be told to “pick up after your pooch”, but unfortunately some need to be reminded.
This year my first rescue turns 12 years old. Doesn’t she look great? She was born at the Best Friends Pet Sanctuary in Kanab, UT and I found her when they made a trip to Las Vegas for an adoption event at PetsMart. She was everything I was looking for at the time. It’s funny how things work out, as I had lost my pet goldfish the night before. When I saw her I knew she was the one I could do agility with. Fast forward up to today, I plan on competing in an agility trial or two with her, her last ones as we have always done it for fun. I would love to compete in a USDAA trial, but she is so slow! She doesn’t run anymore, it’s more like a leisurely jog, but she can hit every contact and every weave pole… looks like this girl will finish her career out at a TDAA venue. She reminds me that you are never to old to do what you love!!
Sorry for the not so Wordless Wednesday, I’m just a proud mama ๐
We are happy to be participating in this weeks Wordless Wednesday hosted by Blogpaws.
You should be proud! She is so beautiful and to still be doing agility at 12 is so great. I hope our dogs will still be that active at that age.
We hope to try agility with our current puppy when he is older, so I’m always interested to hear more about it.

Sounds great… You and your puppy would love it! Now that we are in class again I’m sure there will be more training posts ๐
What a sweetie pie! She is lucky to have you! I think fast is overrated anyway! Slow works for me! Hope you have a great weekend!
Lol… But she is almost turtle slow, it’s actually very cute now ๐ I think she does it because she loves to please me, as her tail doesn’t spin as fast as it used to. Since her tail is curved it has a spin instead of a wag…. Yes it is a site to see ๐
She looks fantabulous! nothing wrong with being a proud mamma. Congrats!
What an inspiration! Way to be awesome!! Bark More, Growl Less Barking from the Bayou!

Thanks!! & Woof Woof Ruff!!
She is so beautiful! And I just know she has brought you many blessings! As far as the poop at the park, unfortunately there are always those “ones” that so very inconsiderate. It would be funny if she barked and reminded them of their manners WOOF!!!

Wouldn’t that be great? lol but that is something I will never teach a dog again… she didn’t bark for 3 years, and then I taught her and she has not shut up for the last 9!!!
She does look great – and much younger than her 12 years. Must be all that agility training! Love the collar too!
Thanks!! I’ll have to post a close up of her collar… it was really supposed to be for the Boston, but I accidentally ordered it a little big… opps!! ๐
Aww. She’s a beauty. I’m so glad you found each other!

Thanks… I can honestly say she was the one that made me a true dog person ๐
What a beautiful and unique looking dog!! My husband and I want to visit the Best Friends Sanctuary so badly – I had no idea they did visits in other states! Do you know if they regularly do this??
Gorgeous photo, gorgeous dog…thanks for sharing. ๐

Well since Las Vegas isn’t that far from Kanab they would make the trips. I don’t know if they still do or not as it has been almost 12 years now. I volunteered there a couple of years ago and it was amazing!!
She does look great!!!! And it is sad that people have to be reminded, but also very true! :/
Happy Wordless Wednesday!

Thanks!! I love that girl, she is very sweet almost to a fault! ๐
You could train her to sit there and gently remind people to pick up after their pooches.

haha… wouldn’t that be funny? Train your dog to teach someone else to pick up their dogs poop!! lol that would be hilarious
Sometimes things are just meant to be! ๐ I wish you guys the best on your final agility runs. Niles is getting up there in age and one of my goals is to finish her NAC title (just one more Q!).

Ohhh!! Good luck with that, so much fun! Because of accidents etc. through her life we were unable to compete until recently, but she loves it. She’ll be able to finish with a TDAA title in games and Standard 1… so I’ll be proud of her for that ๐
