Wow - 11 or nearly 11 is amazing to hold it together for so many days. Wonder how he/she was kept fit.

Windy was 11 in July. I got to see her run this summer, she sure doesn't look her age. Pretty cool to see a dog like her still going out and smashing a test, having fun with her people, while her kids are not doing too shabby either. Congratulations to Ken & Brenda on another great National and to all the Finalists, Holland, quite a ride for him and Dr. Ed. And to Pete, saw him a few times, what a dog, congratulations to his people, heck of a season!

All I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pete certainly was building up to the National as shown by his ascending performance from September onwards. The timing couldn't have been better, as Rex would have said.

and you can correctly boast that you got to run him one(?) time.

I too can boast this, and he is quite the fun one to handle. Good luck in the coming year Ed, hope to see you this spring or sooner if you come on this way.

Just a FINAL thought on PAGE 64 of this thread......THANK YOU to the four companies that sponsored the blog. Even though we all support these companies through out the year.....THEY did not have to give money to the 'cause'.. yes great advertisement for them. However....without these companies...these FOUR companies would we have the great time in reading day to day coverage and moment by moment long distance thrills.... Sure...somehow....but along with the GREAT team from the Ret. news.....the sponsors were pretty great themselves..... please remember them through out the year in your dog needs. THANK YOU SPONSORS!
