Have I mentioned that Whimzy is really just three things?
One: Too Smart for Her Own Good. When your itty bitty puppy
realizes that they screwed up in the weaves, then backing up a correcting
themselves you know you have a keeper. Also is nice to have a sheltie willing
to learn unlike Jenna, who is pickier about which tricks she cooperates with.
Two: Very scary. Whimzy is not even 15 months, and yet I
find her understanding sequences and body cues that some four or five year old
dogs miss frequently. Now I would love to give myself credit for being an
amazing trainer, but that would take away from Whimzy’s feat of just being
wonderful for me.
Three: Freaking Amazing. A little blunt yes, but true all
the same. This dog is truly everything I look for in a puppy, and I cannot
believe she is mine. Even Jenna my little superstar, who put up with me being a
shitty handler way back when, wouldn’t have been ready to run the stuff Whimzy
aces.
So that pretty much sums up Whimzy. Exactly two weeks till
her DEBUT! I find myself extremely excited and incredibly nervous. Not sure
what exactly I am nervous about, its novice…you’re not supposed to be perfect. It’s
the baby pool, time for mistakes, spins, barking, missing jumps, sticking contacts
and just holding them, hoping you get the weaves (if not just try again).
Honestly think I’m feeling the pressure of taking a baby dog out that most
people(at least who I have talked too, who knows maybe there are some people
who hate Whimzy and think she doesn’t have what it takes to be amazing) love,
which basically means that if something goes wrong…it’s my fault. But it’s
always my fault anyway; hmmm maybe I’m just over thinking things.
