Wolfsheim's Kissing Buddy CD is coming out of retirement for another kick at the cat, so to speak

"Monty" is 8 1/2 years old now and has always been a challenge to train. He acts more like he's 8 months old sometimes (which I'll gladly tollerate!!). He does sleep a lot more these days and he's slow to get moving when he does wake up, but man does he get excited when it's time to work!

All summer, I have been taking Quinn out a couple of times a week to agility classes and poor Monty would get soooo excited thinking he was going and I would feel like such a first-class heel for leaving him at home dancing at the door with a big "Do I get to go this time, mom? Do I?! PLEASE!!" look on his face.

Well, this time, he gets to come and Quinn stays home! Monty has done obedience and has his CD title, but will never be able to get his CDX nor do agility since jumping is required and his arthritic hips no longer allow him to jump, however, he can do Rally-O.

So this evening, we're starting a new adventure for both of us into Rally-O... more info to come!
