Ohio folks, support group wanted for Cleveland sho

I want to get Babsy ready for the Christmas Classic in Cleveland. Anyone else planning on going? Looking for an RA or a CD or both.

what I need is one of the groups like weight watchers that will make me feel guilty if I haven't worked with my dog this week.

Not going, but I need to get into a class to stay on schedule. I was lucky to find a drop-in class that focuses on trialing.

My regular trainers have classes all fall, winter, and spring, usually several nights a week and Saturdays. But her husband has been seriously ill this year and she has knocked it down to just Thursday nights, outside, at her home doing rally.

Thursdays are the days that I take Dad for shoulder work. But I did make it out there with Rushie once before his TDI. Then I brought Milla twice. Then I stayed home waiting for puppies to come. This past thursday I was taking care of puppies and figured I did not want to do much with the girls the night before, the canfield show in the morning and the specialty in the evening. In the middle we had to drive back home to feed Jenna.

But Thursday night classes are great, she usually gives us signs we haven't done before and we do off lead work as well. I am taking Babs this week and then I will decide what I am doing. I would so LOVE to get another title in this year.

Two years ago in Cleveland I did Heidi and Whitney. I signed them up all four days and we finished in three with both of them. I did not place with either but the class sizes were huge. There was a major blizzard on Sunday so I was glad I did not go.

The show itself is a blast. There is agility -- only place I have seen it around here. And there are tons of vendors. And I got cool title ribbons.

Often, like today, I land on the day when there are no title ribbons when I finish a title. Last year at the specialty I got a title in Rally and a title in obedience and no title ribbon. This year the specialty gave out title ribbons and my girls only had 1 and 2 legs. I guess that is just how it goes. Milla got a title ribbon yesterday, Ninja did not today -- that'll teach her to NQ on day 1.

Uh oh, I think I am getting addicted to ribbons. I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE ADDICTED TO RIBBONS!!!
