Retirement

Following the OCOTC shows in April (Soda got his RE), Soda is officially retired (hopefully temporarily) due to his collapsing trachea. I have to say not working my So has been a bit of a downer. It made it tough to think about writing on his blog. Soda does not appreciate retirement...his OCD is rather obnoxious without working his brain. Right now we're focusing on training calm behaviors (sits, downs, look away).

Roo also did well at the OCOTC shows. He finished his CD in 3 shows with a 2nd place and two 1st places. I was quite pleased with him.
Roo made his debut in open this week at the Yorkie specialty in OKC. He NQd but it was a good "match" for us (there aren't any matches in our area so sometimes you have to use a show as a match). We know what to focus on now. After AMA nationals we'll take the summer to polish up open and start some utility exercises.

Hopefully once we're back to regular training, I'll get posting again.
