It seems that only yesterday I brought you home.

I'd wake each day just to watch you grow.

You have become my shadow.

I love spending time with you by my side.

There is nothing that we won't try.

Flyball, agility, you even try to fly.

Go my little Dock Dog.

Show those big dogs,the heart that only I know!



Bradley is 6 years old today. What a splendid 6 years it has been. The day we met you climbed in my lap and kissed me. I knew at that moment we were meant to be. You were quite a challenge. Scared of everything and everyone. You have taught me so much. I have met some wonderful people because of you. You lead to home manners, public manners and on to agility. We turned out to be a pretty good team! We have had some adventures, the lose of a couch and matching chair, a feather pillow everywhere. The times that dad would threaten to put you out on the curb and all the tears I shed at the thought of losing you. This has been some ride so far, one that I hope will go on for quite some time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADLEY!!!

AKC Agility Trial

I can't believe it. This past weekend was the AKC agility trial. Bradley and I were entered Saturday and Sunday. Before the trial we got a little extra help from Valeri on the weave poles. Bradley and I have been struggling to do them accurately and with consistency. Valeri suggested some minor adjustments and it did the trick. We did great 3 out of 4 times with only one re entry. I was so excited. Saturday's standard run was nothing to write home about we had some errors probably the handler's fault. Our jumper's run Saturday was good but 6 seconds over time with one refusal. No Q for us...but we still had done well. Sunday Bradley was dead on. We had 2 perfect runs and did the weave poles beautifully. Bradley earned his OAJ title. I don't mind telling you the thought of going to excellent class scares me a bit.

Who would have ever thought that a puppy who had 12wks of class and would only let 2 other people touch him would ever come so far. Bradley you amaze me and I am so glad I get to share my life with you. I love ya.
