Today was Bruce's first time in Rally Advanced in an actual trial setting. The exercises are a little harder, but the biggest differences are a jump and that its all done off-leash. Bruce & I were the last to go. The first few stations he wandered off, but he slowly figured out that there was no leash, and got concerned that he wasn't attached to me so he did a lot better. We had to redo a few exercises but I thought he did well considering all the distractions at the trial. I had no hopes of qualifying, but the judge thought different. He got a 72 out of 100 which while not the greatest score was still over 70 points needed to qualify! So, Bruce has his Rally Novice title (RN) and the first of three legs for his Rally Advanced title.
Thanks to everybody who send good thoughts and prayers our way! A special thanks to Jen of Piddleloop for her great cheers.
Bruce would've posted himself, but he's too busy celebrating in his favorite way:

I probably shouldn't have delayed posting this because you never know when this item from Christine Renee's shop re-conceived.com will come in handy. For awhile, I've been worrying about the possibility of a Zombie Attack and now I have the perfect place to document what every member of the family should do to survive.
There's blank pages and pages from old books mixed together. While the pages from old books don't really provide sufficient information to survive the attack, they do provide tantalizing tidbits to make you think:
Without this page, I would not have even thought of making sure we had a tent.
I'm not sure what is being built on this page, but I realize I do need to build some barricades to protect myself, The Husband, and the dogs.
If you're worried about zombie attack and are would like to write up a plan of your own here's where you can your very own Zombie Escape Plan.
Now I can sleep easy because:

Home from Rally and feeling on Cloud 9!
Bruce got the third leg of his Rally Novice title (hence the RN at the end of his name) today! With his highest qualifying score ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so proud of him I could just burst!
Thank you Jen for being his personal cheerleader -- I'm sure it helped.
Please keep the good thoughts coming tomorrow -- from 10:05 am through lunch (I have no idea what time we'll go in the ring...) We're doing Rally Advance and its all off leash. This should be interesting. LOL

Sorry folks, etsy Friday will be delayed until Saturday or even Sunday...
This weekend Bruce & I are going to try and get his Rally Novice title through the AKC. There's a "correction" clinic tonight -- basically practice -- and then a real course Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
So think good thoughts around 7pm tonight, and 1:30ish Saturday and Sunday. Bruce & I need all the help we can get.
My plan for last night was to sit myself down and fix the Clapotis. The Husband had the camera out and ready to take pictures of the step-by-step surgery. I had a note pad right next to me and I jotted down every little step I took. I planned on having a great little tutorial complete with pictures:
Then I gave my Clappy a bath and set it down to block the corners only -- I didn't like how much they rolled and one end seemed more like an amoeba than a corner. As I was stretching it out, both of my fixes came undone. So with wet wool, I had to do emergency surgery. (And you remember how much I love wet wool!) So no tutorial. Sorry.
At least Tyler got a good chuckle out of it:
Lizzie understood my frustration and took it out on a cardboard box:
