THANKS EVERYBODY !!

I REALLY LIKE THIS PICTURE TOO. TRACKER IS NOT A REAL BIG BOY, BUT THIS PIC DOES MAKES HIM LOOK AWESOME!

THE WATER RACING HAS BEEN AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF FUN FOR US AS A FAMILY. SAM & I, ALONG WITH AIMEE JO MOST OF THE TIME, HAVE BEEN TO SO MANY BEAUTIFUL STATE PARKS THIS YEAR, WHILE TRAVELING TO THE DIFFERENT STATES TO COMPETE. THIS HAS BEEN A TRUELY, WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO SHARE WITH HER.

UKC DID A GREAT JOB GETTING THE CERTIFICATE OUT IN SUCH A HURRY ! I SURE AM GLAD THEY DID. I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE STOOD NOT SEEING IT IN WRITING VERY MANY MORE DAYS...LOL

I know you guys have worked really hard with your dogs this year, well deserved!

Congrats Sabrina and Tracker!!! I'm sure it's nice knowing that all of your hard work paid off!

Posted by red&tan on 12-18-2008 11:24 PM:

Congrats!!! Love the pic too, aren't the races so much more exciting then a show...but yes they can be frustrating too, who would think you could mess up a water race...lol. Glad it all worked out, now it's on to grand, happy swimming.

HEY, THANKS EVERYBODY !!

DALE:
Thanks, anything you could do would be great, but if nothing works out, it's no big deal. Ya, know what they say, It's the thought that counts. And it was a pretty good thought...LOL...
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

BLUETICK LADY:
The program I used is just the basic Print Shop..There are two pics there that are cropped and blended together..The background pic is from Desoto State Park near Fort Payne, Alabama. The actual pic of Tracker was at Pennyrile State Park in Kentucky between Princeton & Hartford. We stayed there during visits to both those towns for show & WR events.

ASHLEY:
It is an absolute wonderful feeling! We are finally back down on earth again !!...LOL...The high has been awesome !!

RED&TAN:
LOL, I am not sure who you are, have we met along the way or did you just pick up on the swimming fiasco thing on here...LOL...Anyway, thank you so very much..I do have to say that YES, YES, YES, this is much more exciting than the shows...I still love the shows, but the adrenalin rush is just so much more intense with the water race & field trials !! Not only that, but Sam is more of my side by side partner in this and not just my handler. He did this with Tracker 100%. I have been handling Trackers pup, TJ. The frustration part, well, so far, the whole summer we only had one bad experience..Ya, know you start out each journey with goals in mind..Our goals were very high for that particular race. When Tracker did not pull out what we knew he was capable of, it was over anyway. Even though he did not get the points he swam for and won fair and sqare, it was no big deal, because he was better than what he gave us that day anyhow. That day, just gave us another oportunity for the big blow out we expected for his last race to make him Water Champion. He swam the clean sweep we knew he could do. So it ALL worked out and made us that much more proud of him...But, hey, it was ALL GOOD !!!!!
YEP, 1 DOWN & 4 TO GO TOWARDS GRAND WATER CHAMPION !!

THANKS AGAIN EVERYBODY !!
