Qualified

That's right. Qualified. Jasper got his first leg in Open A at the Oriole Dog Show on Saturday. Two more legs and he will have his CDX title, Companion Dog Excellent.

Each time he qualifies, I always manage to well up with tears. It takes every ounce of control to hold back those tears and not look like a blubbering fool. Over the years of training, I've cultivated such a deep bond with my special boy.

I am so very proud of my guy.
