Baby is back in the rally ring

Twenty one months since the last time we were in a performance ring, a major injury, diagnosis, recovery, rehab and re-training, and Baby (Am Ch Ch Calaban's Dirty Dancing RA ET JC (Imp USA) and I finally got brave enough to step back into the ring again today at the Geelong Obedience Club in Rally Excellent for the first time.

It was probably a bit early given she's still at the tail end of one of her dreadful phantoms (read ... "hasn't wanted to get out of bed for three months"), and the second trial showed she doesn't have her trial-endurance up again yet ... but I was still pretty darn proud of her.

​She earned two Excellent A quallies, with scores of 99 (and 2nd place) and 86 (3rd place).
