There were about 40 competitors. Aggie won the gold in "Over, Under, and Through" and then tacked on a silver medal in "Best Trick." Not bad for an 11-year-old girl!

Shelties always understand
In June 2009 my sweet BuddyBear passed and little Gracie and I went through some very tough times that followed. One year later, here is GracieBelle visiting Buddy's memorial brick at the Colorado State University Vet Teaching Hospital's Tribute Garden. After a rousing game of Frisbee, she dropped it right beside Buddy's brick and looked up at me with her trademark smile. What a sweet face & touching moment Leesa!
