Flashback Friday - Greta's First Title


 August 2013 Greta and I attended 
a 3 day obedience/rally trial
We were quite ambitious and entered both
Beginner Novice Obedience and Rally Novice
all three days. 



I was so proud of her -
the first day we qualified in both classes
and both classes again the second day!



the third day she did not want to do 
her sit stay in the obedience ring 
and I thought that 
maybe I had asked too much of her

She was very young after all, only 1 1/2 yrs old 
and this was only her second experience at a trial


 But that afternoon in the Rally Novice ring 



she earned her best score of all three days 
and finished her Rally Novice Title!



What a weekend! What a girl!

Now I have to tell you
 of a sweet surprise I got from Google

Have you ever googled your name 
to see what might come up?

Well I googled "Greta Pug Munchskin"


And up popped a link
 to the
 Pug Dog Club of America's 
2013 Rally Ratings

OMD!
look who was listed #10! 




Greta went on to finish her
 Beginner Novice Obedience Title in June of this year 
and in August she earned two qualifying scores
 towards her Pre-Novice Title


I miss you baby
so very much

Love you
 Mom

  10. Linda bless your heart...the things you and Greta accomplished in such a short span of time are truly amazing...but not nearly as amazing as our Greta...often when I type Greta I type Great...and actually that is a perfect description of her. This is a beautiful post. I'm so sorry for her untimely passing...I've asked myself many times why but I know I shouldn't.
    Lots of hugs
    Cecilia and Madi

  13. Greta had just begun showing what she was able to accomplish. It just isn't fair that her future was cut so short. We think about her (and you) all the time.

    Your Pals,

  16. Greta sure was a champion - in so many ways. Mom says we all still miss our Thunder and Dakota, but flashback photos help a lot.

    Happy weekend.
