This is my 9 year old heartdog, Augusta. I retired her from competitive agility today. She finished her 14th and final championship this morning--the 40th agilty title of her career. She is the first dog from our 41 year old club to have ever earned this particular title, and only the second Labrador Retriever ever to do so. We have been a team for 7 years and I treausre every step that I have ever taken with her in the long hours of training and the many hours of trialling. Thank goodness that these little black boxes and the pieces of glass we attach to them yield such treasures for us....
I was psychotically happy!
