If it isn’t obvious already I have the awesome-est Leos ever…
The High Country Newf club held their Sept water rescue trials on Sept 17/18th, and both Ripple and Skimmer passed their water rescue tests! One day, both… that! doesn’t happen very often.
Ripple passed her Senior WRD (Water Rescue Dog) with nary a hitch and Skimmer, oh Skimmer, unbelievably, passed his Junior WD (Water Dog) title with a near perfect performance.
Just 2 weeks before the test I had tried a new method of training with Ripple for the 3-drowners exercise and, by golly, it worked. Ripple grabbed the rope w/life-ring and never looked back – one more drowning swimmer saved!
So, yes, the season is over yet again and I can cry about having to wait for 8 months
I was a good boy, wasn't I? I saved those people!
