For the 4th straight year this father/daughter team once again qualified at the Nationals.  No owner should be so lucky.  I guess you can’t overlook the power of prayer.  Judah has now completed the past 5 Nationals without having to handle on any of the marks.  Ezra continues to bring a level of enthusiasm rarely exceeded by the other dogs when she shows up to compete.

Congratulations go out to “Tillie” for her 5th Master National qualification. She now joins her mother “Indy” on the all time list.  Handling “Indy” was like riding a Ferris wheel, smooth and steady.  “Tillie” is like riding a roller coaster, one wild turn after another.  My favorite quote regarding “Tillie’s” antics at a Master National came from Sam Ferguson several years ago.  After one of her professional creeps on a walk-up Sam came up to me and said “That was close.  No, you don’t understand, that was real _ _ _ _ ing close!”  Thank you to Mike and Dee for letting me ride “Tillie” all of these years.
