Hey everyone!

Big, big apologies for not being around for a long while. So much has happened....

My Grandmum passed away in January after a very long illness...we miss her alot, but are really glad she is in a much better place.

I pulled a muscle in January too, at an agility trial. I had to go through major rehabilitation to recover so I could compete again. Luckily I healed up very well, and am back to competing. It took a few months before I was running well again, but now Mum thinks I am in the best shape I've ever been!

We competed in the US Dog Agility Regionals last weekend and our 3-dog team qualified for Nationals. And some of my runs were the best and fastest of my 'career'!

Mum and I participated in three seminars this Spring and Summer with some top World Team Dog/Handler teams and have learned a lot about agility, handling, and getting more speed and tighter turns. And we've been competing about three weekends a month for the past couple of months. Too fun!

Mum had been really busy with work for her marketing businesses, my blogs, my website and other stuff.

One of my blogs (Raise A Green Dog) was featured in this month's (August) issue of Dog Fancy Magazine, and there's a really cool pic of me, Mum and Gracie!

I have so much to catch up on with everyone! We've missed you guys a lot. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

We sure hope you are all doing well! And. I hope to get around to visit everyone very soon!

Woofs, Johann
