M'boys Carson & Keenan and I are happy to let the heat of summer go for a while as we continue our dog agility classes out at with Nancy at Leaps and Bounds. Sorry to see our dear friend Elizabeth and her great dog, Rio, move to Kentucky. They will be missed in our Tuesday class.
We are gearing up for the K9Sports USDAA Music City Classic the last weekend of October here at home. Oh by the way, I will be performing Saturday evening after the last run! I will, of course play the agility song and many other ones as well. If you're coming to the trial, or test, be sure to sign up for our pizza party and join in on the fun and in on the singing! It will all happen right there on the sight at the Williamson County Ag. Center.
Speaking of singing, on September 20th I sang at Dog Days in Nashville. I sang my dog agility song, My All-American Boy, naturally and First Day of Summer, about being out with my dogs and my horse. I was joined on stage by producer, Kim Copeland on vocals and the Sisters Grimm, Rebecca and Jordana, on vocals, banjo and violin. We had a blast! Carson even came up on the stage for his agility song. The weather was perfect. Penny Dionne did a fabulous job co-ordinating the music part of the event and we all raised some buck-a-roonis for Nashville Humane. BIG thanks to all of you who came out to listen to me. It means a lot to see lips moving along with me as I sing!
On a sad note, some friends of mine have lost their dogs. Recently, my web site designer, Sue and her husband, Dave, lost their beloved puppy dog, Bernie, this past weekend. Also, some very dear friends of mine, Steph and Suzanne lost Wilson P. Beagle, my beloved canine nephew. I know we all understand the profound sense of lost they are going through right now.Please send them some love and support next time you pray.
For those of us into horses, this is a wonderful time of the year to get out and ride. My horse, Sam, who is on my CD cover, and I are taking in as much time together as we can. We've enjoyed a lot quality riding over the last few of weeks.
This past weekend began Friday night with my going to hear our Nashville Symphony and ended Sunday with my going to see the Tennessee Titans win. Nashville is such a nice place to live. With horse, dog and guitar playing in between, it was a great weekend.
To those of you running dog agility, i wish you Q's, but most of all, a fun and safe time with your canine partners!!
I'll be getting back to you all soon,
Janet
