Pet Expo, 10-21-06

Dear Sophie,
It has finally started cooling down a bit, if you can call 90 degrees cooling down, so we can start attending special dog events again with our class. Yesterday was a Pet Expo in Avondale and you were such a good girl after you settled down among the hundred or so dogs who showed up. There was even a police dog demo with hollering and gunfire and everything, and you didn't seem interested in the least. Our teacher said you were doing fine, even though you broke a stay at the worst possible time, but I'm still way too much of a basket case to suit her. She said if there was any way she could give you your certification test without me around, she would! haha Still, in all, you've come so far in the past year and I'm so proud of you. After the Expo, you and I and CJ and Emma and Meg and Kovu hung out at Panda Express for two hours of chatting and visiting. It's going to be so much fun to be classmates when we go back to school in two weeks. Yep, I'm putting you back in school for some 'fine tuning' and, with any luck, you'll be ready for your test before too much longer. We're going to see this through, Sophie ... you and me.
