How did I get so lucky?
Oct. 7th, 2012 11:36 pm I do truly have the perfect dog. The perfect dog for me, that is. I knew this already of course but it never hurts to reaffirm things. And he is oh-so-forgiving..I had this huge fear in the back of my mind that after having left for school, Panic would cease to be "my dog". The guilt I felt over the summer before I left was so intense. Sometimes I would just look at him and burst out crying because I was leaving him and there was no way he could possibly know why. Would he sit and wait for me and wonder where I was and why I left and if I was ever coming back? Ugh, guilt guilt guilt. You can let it eat away at you or you can let it go. Panic is fine and happy without me there all the time, and he is still my dog. I think somehow he understands.
Yesterday I drove to Indy for an AKC show. I am lucky to have such good friends that brought Panic up there to me. I can't begin to tell you how happy we were to see each other yesterday though. Even though I wasn't an outwardly squeeling wiggly mess like Panic, I totally was on the inside. He is just so super cool and fun to be around. Oh and did I mention he's perfect? Not a step out of place all weekend. We got a lone standard Q yesterday (I sent him into an off course tunnel in jww, good boy!) and a QQ today. We needed 51 points for Nationals going into this weekend, and we got 'em and then some! We're going to Tulsa!!
He is getting so much gray now...just adorable.
Super cool toy he found.
He just keeps getting cuter and cuter. I can hardly stand it.
I am so grateful to be able to have all these amazing experiences at college and in agility. I truly thought my decision to go away to school would essentially end Panic 's and my agility career, but he is running better than ever despite us never practicing agility or even being around one another regularly. What a freakin' superstar. Who would have thought we'd get to go to USDAA Nationals and World Team Tryouts and now AKC Nationals? I never ever had aspirations or thoughts of going to those events when I got him. But I never ever thought I would happen upon such an amazing teammate either.
