It's good to have friends

Hope and I took an overnight trip to visit a friend in Michigan and got back in town yesterday late morning. We had to go to the shop, of course - when it's your own business, even though you know everything is fine you're still compelled. And even though we were beyond tired (driving over 400 miles and not sleeping well) we decided to go to our Agility group's annual jump-start the year party. People and dogs all had a great time. Everyone brings food - and it looked like the group was feeding an army! This year we had the added attraction of being filmed for a local morning show. The dogs were filmed ricocheting out of the tunnel, zooming through the weave poles, leaping over jumps, and racing over the dog walk. Everyone was exhausted but happy. But the best part was talking to all our agility buddies. During a normal class everyone is too busy to chat (not to mention the fact that everyone's supposed to be paying attention). And I've been away for a while, so it was great to catch up on everyone's news. - Fran
