Day 5: What an amazing day!!

Wow, what an amazing day this was. We had a clean run in Hybrid and made it to Challengers!! Going into Challengers we were the #5 overall 20" Preferred dog. We had a clean run, finishing 4th in Challengers. All in all, 5 out of 5 clean runs at Nationals, a great time with Michael, Trapper and tons of friends. And of course, a fantastic first time at Nationals with my 11-year-old buddy, Trapper. I truly couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience. Now to drive home and see the boys, grandma & grandpa!!
