March trial wrap-up:

Well, were to start... Lets start with thanking our wonderful guest-judges for coming out and sharing their wonderful attitudes and fun, which is the definition of the Riley's. I enjoyed them immensely, and I know that you did as well. The "Otto award" was such a beautiful tribute to their departed family member, and was a wonderful way to keep his memory alive...I know I wont forget Otto, with the heartfelt stories that Norm told us while presenting the award to Maggie Rice ❤️.

Lets talk about the competitors now...WE RAN EXTREMELY LOW on RATCHX ribbons....and I will be raising the price of....lol (im joking). I am SOOOO PROUD! You folks made my heart smile! I cant tell you how wonderful it was to watch you all enjoy your time with the pups, and being successful was the icing on the cake!!!! I could go on and on, but I will just leave it as PROUD! I was a small part of some of your journeys, and I revel in your success. You did it! As a consequence, we decided to stock more ribbons than we were. ;)

Volunteers: You all did it. No matter how small of a job, you all made this trial run smoooooottthhh. You are the reason why I started this club, and you continue to make me happy with my decision to be a club. Thank you.

Personal note: Thank you so much for my rattie-birthday cake! Im not sure if you could tell, but I had no idea....zero....that you folks had done that for me, and I was a tad in shock. Thank you so much. I have been on a diet for the last 6 weeks, and I broke from my diet for you (perfect timing folks)...it was soooo yum.

Thanks for all of you coming out to help me keep this the happiest place in the world for us. Our next trial will be on April 25, 2025, and then we will take a PAWS until September, with judge Susan Kelly.

Thank you all

REMINDER: This Saturday (March 1) is our Intro to BARN HUNT class, from 10:30-12:30. No experience or obedience needed. Its my favorite class that we teach. $30 per pupper (cash or check, no credit cards). Come out and have some fun...rain or shine.
What you will need for Barn Hunt?
A dog, a chair, treats, and a sense of humor
so here is some practice:
Why did the cowboy get a Dachshund?
(Because someone said "Get a long little doggie!")
if you laughed, come on and have a good time. If you snickered, you will be fine. If you rolled your eyes or groaned, you may want to work on that sense of humor before Saturday

January trial wrap up:

I have been super busy, and am just getting around to posting. Thank you all for coming out to our Squid Games trial. You folks navigated the courses with ease, put a hell of a dent in our ribbons, and made me smile a lot! Thank you for bringing your wonderful pups and making everyone feel like we are family. That was the best part. I felt the love amongst us ;) A few handlers had oopsies, and made me proud anyway by praising their partners and letting them know how special they were. I noticed that too. Remember, judge Des see's EVRYTHING! LOL! You folks are why I made this club and continue to offer as many trials as I can...because this is my happy place....and you are a big part of it.
