Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Teal. Ten years old today and celebrating with a birthday bone chewing session.

Not sure where the time has gone. She was the naughty one out of the litter and her breeder wouldn't let her go to anyone not experienced....well what can I say...she's been a delightful challenge...and continues to be so!!

Still competing at heelwork to music. She doesn't want to retire and whilst she's fit and healthy why not. The body may be aging but there's nothing wrong with her mind!!

She retired from the breed show ring this month...the oldest in her class and went away with a third. Nice way to end. She couldn't care less about retiring from that.....just so long as she can keep her dancing shoes.

Teal, you recalcitrant old bag....Happy Birthday!!!
