ON WEDNESDAY OCT. 19TH I WENT TO MITCHELL MANOR WITH A WHOLE GROUP OF GERMAN SHEPHERDS &THEIR PEOPLE. I SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN MY CRATE BUT BOY DID I LEARN A LOT BY WATCHING! MOM HAD EVERYBODY HEELING & WEAVING AND DO RECALLS AT THEIR LEVEL. THEN THE MORE AD- VANCED DID D.B. WORK AND THE BOARD JUMP EXERCISE.

MY OLDER BROTHER SPRECHER DID A FEW TRICKS WITH LOTS OF LAUGHS! THEN WE ALL GOT TO PLAY ON THE AGILITY EQUIPMENT AND THAT WAS FUN! WE FINISHED BY GOING AROUND THE ROOM LETTING EVERYONE PET US. WE COULD TELL THAT THEY WERE HAPPY BUT SO WERE WE! ALL MY FRIENDS PEOPLE HELPED ROLL UP THE MATS, ETC. BUT A SPECIAL THANKS GOES TO JACK FOR BRING THE TEETER-TATER. PEOPLE LOVE WATCHING THAT. IT WAS A LOT TO BRING, SET UP, & BACK TO THE CARS IN THE RAIN BUT IT WAS WELL WORTH IT. AS WE WERE LEAVING WITH THE HAND TRUCK LOADED, THERESE THE ACTIVITY CO-ORDINATOR SAID THE VISIT WAS REALLY APPRECIATED BY 50+ PEOPLE BUT WE ESPECIALLY MADE THE DAY FOR TWO WOMAN WHO DIDN'T WANT TO COME. THEY TOLD THEM "COME FOR SEVERAL MINUTES "AND THEY STAYED THE WHOLE TIME! THERESE BLEW US A KISS AS SHE HELD THE DOOR AND SAID,"GOD BLESS YOU"...AND THAT MADE OUR DAY! OOPS! I HEARD MY NAME...GOT TO TRAIN!...
