Golden Rule School For Dogs

Submitted in Jest by Deb Stevenson: Twas the nite before the April cluster and the weather was iffy The report for the next day was light showers then spiffy Pretty pastel rosettes in colors of spring were nestled in plastic bins next to each ring Score boards and steward tables set up with care In hopes that exhibitors soon would be there. We arrived at the site And what do you know it started to rain then to sleet and to snow! The judges did shiver the exhibitors froze But they rallied although they could not feel their toes 270 left, call front finish right Watch out for the mud Don't slip on that ice Tents were covered in white the sky it was hazy Dogs convinced beyond doubt that their owners were crazy We applauded the Qs and the 1st through 5th places As pellets of hail ricocheted off our our faces And I heard my dog exclaim As I told her to down "You do it you fool... There's snow on this ground!"
	Cinder & Karen earned that elusive last point to complete their ARCH with a score of 205.
	Nancy Moore and Roxy Novice Level 1A Title Yeah!
	Muzzy braved the snow and hail and earned her ARCHX and her SECOND Level 1 Championship at Golden Rule's APDT trials on 4/8-4/9. And she did it in style, with 6 placements (including two 1st places) and perfect scores of 200, 207, 207, 208, 209, 210, 210 and 210!!!
	Lulu froze her chubby butt off but finished her ARCH at Golden Rule's APDT trials on 4/8-4/9 with 2 placements and amazing scores of 199, 201, 201, 204, 206, 209, 209 and a perfect 210!!! She also earned her first double Q toward her ARCHX, 4 Qs toward her Level 1 Championship and 4 Qs toward her level 2 Championship.
	Bella winced every time she was asked to sit and squinted as the ice and snow clouded her vision. What a trooper! Miss Sugar Paws didn't let the weather stop her from getting her third leg. Bella acheived her Rally Level 1 title on Saturday with a remarkable 194!
	KEEP THOSE BRAGS COMING!
