The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Well, we started conf. classes tonight. As much as wish it went as good as it does in my kitchen, it didn't. I'm not discouraged though. She's young and still learning.
As we came in Serena thought that all the dogs in OB 1 and those waiting for conf. classes were throwing a suprise party for her! She was SOOOOOOO exicited that they were there to see her that she tried to go ZOOOOmy! I managed to finally calm her down.
Now classes begin. Serena was pretty good about waiting in line. We practiced stand while waiting. We practiced opening her mouth. Our turn arrives and she does none of what we were doing so nicely in line for the practice judge.
OK, so close inspection needs MORE practice. Then we get to movement. The first two times were a little rough but then she figured out what we were doing and produced a wonderful gait that drew compliments from the judge. YEAH!!!!!!
We celebrated every success and worked very hard. Next week, we do it again.
