2004 Was a year of focus and refocus. Pebbles continued to trial in agility and had some success. She earn her AKC NA, ASCA RS-N and USDAA SJ. Jill and Ticket focused on stock and will continue to do so in 2005. Jill believes that the only reason to live is for working stock so we have put agility on the back burner, at least for now.

2003 was a year of learning and retraining. Though we spent many a weekend pursuing those elusive Q's with out success I have learned alot about my dog and still had a good time anyway. We plan to spend the winter working on the things we've learn through the year. I want to give special thanks to Lauri Baker of BARK Agility for her insights, feedback and encouragement. See you 2004!!!!

2002 was a very difficult year. After losing Gabby in March my heart wasn't really into doing much. Pebbles and I did manage to have a fairly successful year though, she earned her NAC NJC NGC and GS-N titles and was ASCNE Reserve Champion Novice Gambler 20" dog for 2002. We finally earned our first USDAA leg!!!!

2001 was our first year of agility competition. Gabby is my main focus although Pebbles comes out to play once in a while too. Taylor took Lili to a couple of trials and had a goodtime. I've learned a lot this season and along the way had some success in the ring.

And we're not done yet!!!!

Special thanks go out to my family for their support both at the trials and at home especially Rich who took care of the rest of the pack and the horses while I was away at trials. To Fiona Schoeler, without whom I would still be tripping over myself figuring out those front crosses. To Meredith Lunn my trial and training buddy who is always available to bounce ideas off. And to Darci Dyer for being my trial buddy.
