| Rider at 4 months |
| The whole gang actually sat still for this. Next year we hope to have less leashes in the photo. |

| The truly amazing part of these photos is I am trotting in the first photo and preparing to in the second. This is something I have not done in 30 plus years. I guess you can teach an old body new tricks!! Anyway, the photos are here to show Rider going away and coming back for those who are interested in such things. I was not trying for perfect form for myself as the goal today was to get some stacking photos only. |

| Rider doing a Sit Stay so that we could try for a nice shot of him. He is 6 1/2 months old now, weighs 40 3/4 pounds, and is between 18 1/4 - 18 1/2 inches tall at the shoulder. Our baby boy is growing up. |
| Rider and I have been taking conformation classes and we are both learning. Rider is faster at catching on than I am. It is helpful to have a lovely dog to work with and I am so thrilled that Ellen allowed Rider to come to Arizona and live with us. We have our first show in mid-January and are hopeful to not make fools of ourselves in the ring. Actually, I am hopeful that I don't embarrass Rider, he will do just fine. |
