Charlie Moon Cloud has made his see-saw contacts all year so far! This is a big improvement over his tendency to 'fly-off' most of them last year. Slowing down a bit just as he gets to the middle of the board, he works with gravity instead of against it. While he listens intently for my next direction, he gives the next obstacle a perfect Border Collie stare. I am so proud to be his companion and agility partner, and of how we are improving as a team. — Carol
