This is one of the great reasons I blog!

We got a letter the other day from Ricky...

Hi Johann,

My name is Ricky and I am an 11-month-old Sheltie. I am my mom's first dog too. My mom and I read your blog every day, and we are so sorry to hear that you got hurt in your agility trial over the weekend and that you mom has the flu! But thank you so much for writing such a fun and informative blog. We are training in obedience and just starting agility. So we learn a lot by reading about your activities. We also watched some of your videos, and I learned how to "find target" and "go mat" from watching you. We live in OH so maybe we will see you at an agility trial some day!

Take care of yourself and your mom and good luck at your vet appointment tomorrow! Hope you feel better soon!

Wow...all I have to say is this is one of the biggest reasons we blog. Thanks Ricky for your great letter, I am honored to have you as a pup pal and we will definitely have to look for one another at an agility trial soon!
