Rocky got his VATCh today. That's "Veteran Agility Trial
Champion" and requires Masters titles in each of Standard,
Jumpers, Gamblers, Snooker, and Team Relay. It was the latter
which was holding us up. Rocky ran team today with Ginger, a
Golden Retriever who's in her last trial before retirement.
Rocky, 9.5 years old, after multiple sort-of retirements because
of epilepsy and side-effects of the drugs, attained a milestone
that, a few years ago, I wouldn't have believed.
Sorry about the OT to .health, but I thought this also belongs
there after all of the help I got years ago.

Congratulations to you and Rocky! I can only imagine how proud you must be.
And what a sense of accomplishment, especially after so many health
concerns. Way to go, Rocky.

It certainly belonged there, because it's an incredable obstacle that had
to be overcome in the journey. All I can say is...
WHAT A DOG!!!

What an accomplishment. For any 9.5 year old dog to be out there
competing well is a mark of honor. To have done it with epilespy is
incredible, and is a testament to the care you have given him through
the years.
Congrats! >> Stay informed about: Rocky VATCh |
