…..that it takes a village…. This past weekend at our home club, Jake ended our amazing 2014 with 3 blue ribbons with one earning him a high in class ribbon also. All his achievements wouldn’t have happened without the many people involved in barn hunt. I’d like to personally thank:
- Gail, Brenda and Becky for bringing barn hunt to Wisconsin
- the people and dog clubs who organized the trials we attended
- the 14 judges we trialed under who always strove to be fair and consistent in their judging
- the workers who volunteered their time
- Lisa and Tammy for taking GREAT pictures
- the cooks and kitchen staff who fed the workers delicious food
- the people who raised and provided rats for the trials
- anyone who I handed my video camera to who graciously agreed to tape Jake
- my new friends who brought their rats to my house and offered me all kinds of great tips on how to resolve “issues”
- the farmers who brought straw inside my yard to me… oops.. they probably won’t be seeing this post now will they … anyway…
I’m certainly looking forward to spring wondering how Jake will react after not seeing rats for 4 months! Perhaps the squirrels and rabbits in the yard will keep him entertained so he doesn’t forget his job!
