Gunner was recognized at the yearly Cowtown Dog Sports holiday party for the titles he earned this past year 2021, which were his AKC Trick Dog Novice, Trick Dog Intermediate, and Trick Dog Advanced titles. Robin also gifted me with a sheep of my very own, as she rightly pronounced that not only do I have Border collies, I am a Border collie. Yeah, accurate.
Pearls:
- It is meaningful and affirming when people whose opinions matter mark your achievements
- Our coach put much thought and effort into this yearly tradition, and it was inspiring to be among my peers as they were recognized for all of the impressive milestones they made with their dogs through this past year
- I'm grateful to be among such a community, with the support of a coach that encourages both continued scholarship as well as building an even stronger relationship with our canine companions
