No Nationals This Year

I have officially withdrawn myself and Lou from our nationals/3*.  I was both unable to raise the funds to continue on to the competition and felt that Lou's stamina would eventually affect his soundness and did not want to ask him to do all that and risk injury.  He was happy, but exhausted by the week before we were to leave for Saugerties from Blue Hill, and I felt it was too much to ask him to continue.  There will be another 3* in Wellington, FL in December which I will attend.

All was not lost though.  Lou and I have had an awesome time learning from Missy and Jessica Ransehousen and from Jean Luc Cornille.  Thank you to all the Blue Hill grooms, Missy, Jes, Jean Luc, Jean, JoAnne, Sue, Eadie, and Brewster for helping this be such a great learning time.

I'll let ya'll know when we come home!  Thank you for all your support, kind words, emails and support!  I love you all!

My Answer To Stress!

No, I don't have any drama llama going on in my life.  However, I am quite stressed about our upcoming nationals.  Not the competing part; just the financial part of raising the funds, the stress and responsibility of borrowing and transporting someone else's 4 legged boyfriend to PA, NY, PA and then home, raising funds, a hurricane possibly coming our direction while I am gone, raising funds, arranging for my mom and cats to be evacuated in my absence if necessary, raising funds.... You get the picture.

This is where the Drama Llama comes in.. Although no drama is going on, this song makes me laugh every time I hear and see it!

Enjoy!

(Sorry no pics!  My computer bit the dust and all my pictures were lost.  I'll be back to posting pics when I get a new computer!)
