Way to go Bill, Micki and Ammo !!! I think after having watched her run, having run against her several times, and having spent time with Bill and Micki its time for all of us to say "thank you". Our sport is tough. The demands on dogs and owners are incredible, to have the -stick to it- attitude the three of you have had against all of the negativity, second guessing, and grueling journey has been amazing to watch.

As a sport there are few things left that have been left undone and you have done some amazing things. The game has become harder and harder and being able to break a 100 points, attain 13 wins, and keep a really special dog together for this whole journey is a testament to your training methods, quality of dog, and commitment to excellence. Being willing to do things different requires strength of charachter, everyone seems to have an opinion but yet you did it and better yet, you did it your way. I am happy to call you my new friends and I am personally going to enjoy watching you right to the end because most likely we as a sport wont have a chance to see it again.... ever. Hug that little dog because she is special.

Lastly, Bill and Micki, when the last derby is run, hug each other, because you have endured an amazing journey and did so together. Finish strong and travel safe. Lets meet one more time? I will run mine and hope to win, you will run yours and will probably win but above all when its over we will laugh and enjoy the day watching great dogs do great things.
