The night before class

So Bella and I are off to Greenville for a K9 Nose Work class tomorrow!  She's bathed and groomed and has had a few opportunities to practice self control over the past couple of weeks...not enough mind you, but better than nothing, right? 

I had almost decided to take a different dog, one who had better manners and who would be a better reflection on my work, so as not to embarrass myself in front of other trainers.  But how fair would that be to Bella and what a great learning opportunity for us both.  So I'm suckin it up and baring it all.  That Bella girl deserves to have some time in class so we've set our attitude to thankful and will let you know how it goes in a couple of days.  Blessings on us all eh?
