Rally Obedience - Spring & Summer 2005
Level 1 Title
We spent the summer of 2005 practicing Rally Obedience so we could compete at the dog show at Shouldice Park in July that year. We went to class at Sit Happens three times a week and practiced at home and on our walks.
All the hard work was worth it becuase we placed in all three classes on Saturday winning our Level 1 title in one very busy day.
We were registered to compete on Sunday too, just in case we needed one more chance to get the required third class. We went back on Sunday to compete but Abbey was done, she had won her title and put down her paw, enough is enough!
Our Ribbons
We were so proud to bring home these ribbons. We worked hard to win them, but Abbey really shone that day.
We came home and celebrated by hanging out in the yard together.

Abbey had a big heart and loved her pack unconditionally. She also had an extended pack she also loved unconditionally and Charisse and I are proud to members of. Here is one of my favourite pictures of our girls.

In the late summer of 2004 Abbey had just turned 1, this is a picture of her as drawn by her friend Daylon after our 2nd annual attendance at the Spruce Meadows Master's Tournament.
The same group of us just finished our 9th annual attendance at the Master's but without our dear Abbey. You were missed by all of your friends and Aunties dear one. We made a toast to your role as 'Ambassador of the Airedale'. There is a hole in our lives without you.
