Making History

Of all my voting life, I've never been on pins and needles, been glued to the TV, anxious like I am for this Presidential race. No matter who wins, history will be made and I was thrilled to be a part of it. The air practically crackled with excitement this gorgeous fall morning and even the crowd was pleasant, polite and excited as we waited our turn to cast our votes.
Tomorrow - a new president. I hope and pray it is my candidate.
Back to ordinary life stuff:
Moto is really turning on to tracking. He had his 3rd lesson and actually tried to crawl out to the track. We tried a turn and no problem. Tried another one in the other direction no problem. He did four tracks (a lot for a not-6 mo old pup) with enthusiasm and focus. Tracking is not my thing, but it sure is his, so we will be pursuing this venue.
Meantime he really is getting the pivots now, thanks to Cheez Whiz! Heeling is really coming along, and he is beginning to have a nice cadence to his stride. What I like is I will really get to step out quickly in the ring since he is so big. I need to remain vigilant on quick sits, fronts and finishes. This dog likes to do things right the first time and is very thoughtful.
Well back to the TV. I'm running on adrenaline!
