Robbie earned his CD at a tender 7 months- ran agility beside me in high school- brought in dairy cattle twice daily, enjoyed his role as the best possible babysitter to my newborn humans... he would try anything I asked of him.  Robbie just didn't want a UD as much as I did. He liked agility, but he didn't love it... Eventually I realized the titles did NOT matter, the things he'd help me learn were so much more valuable.   Robin  enjoyed obedience tricks for his first retirement gig- as a hearing ear dog companion to Ruth- and pictures of his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids.   In October 2009, Bonnie Mitchener was kind enough to let RobBob thumb a ride with her back from Detroit, and at 14 years young, returned to teach us a thing or two about loving and letting go gracefully.  We are all enjoying his silvery noozles and quizzical expressions as we do his bidding for each day we get LOL   I love you Robbie.
