13 years young today.
It only seems like yesterday when we brought home this cute black and white puppy with ears that he never really grew into. My first grown up dog - not a kelpie but I think there's a bit of one in there, along with a few other herding breeds. Best agility dog a beginner could ever have had - we certainly never set the world on fire, but had a lot of fun over the years. And the funny thing was that he actually developed more speed and enthusiasm as he got older- maybe something to do with my handling improving. By the time we reached Veteran class he barked with excitement the whole way round. First dog I ever trialled - I still remember that first time so clearly, I was so nervous I didn't think I would be able to move and co-ordinate my mouth at the same time, but somehow I did.
First dog I ever gained a title with. I remember that Novice agility run as if it was yesterday too. Where did the years go?
Happy Birthday faithful friend - may there be more ahead !
