Some things don't change...nor should they.Don's still sharing his shooting expertise, and I'm still training dogs.
When I took the photos of Don helping our young friends Samantha, Cody and their mom Chris on our backyard range, it was like lapsing right back into my Army public affairs officer role. Get that shot...the classic experienced shooter coaching "juniors." Now get one of them looking at the target...
Don's also become an integral member of the Rocky Mountain Rangers, the local SASS bunch. This is a really great bunch of people!
Meanwhile, I've inevitably become the "dog lady" in the area. In the past year we've formed the area's first agility club, which now boasts about 25 active members. Classes are held here at Shorthorse in the summer and at a local indoor arena during the winter. www.huckleberryhoundsagility.com.
Lizzie and I have also re-entered the realm of obedience competition. She earned her "Companion Dog" obedience title in June in Missoula, as well as a "Rally Novice" title. Her scores were good enough to garner several blue ribbons. A lot of folks at the dog show were surprised by the little unknown pit bull from backwater country!
