Maybe?

Pinch, Moto and I are training for the upcoming obedience trial next weekend. I'm glad it's not regular classes as we haven't trained much. Between the heat and losing Shiloh it's been hard to get my training mojo back but we are working on it. Moto will be in Graduate Novice. I have absolutely no expectation for Moto, it will be used as a benchmark to see if we move forward into Open or just hang up our Obedience hat (at least for awhile) and try herding and possibly agility.
I DO have expectations for Pinch but I'll have to take the fall if we don't do well due to our lack of training. I just want an up, happy dog to finish his Rally Novice title.
But here's where things take an interesting twist: I received a premium for another local show in October. They are only doing regular Obedience classes and Rally. There is absolutely no way Moto will be ready for Open by then. I HATE to miss showing at a local show!
Blitz is still on a tear in terms of his health. He attended a rally fun day and had no side effects from that. I'm thinking having him thoroughly checked by our vet and if she deems him healthy, we will enter one day of Novice with Blitz. I know he would love it. It would be wonderful to have him back in the ring with me. I looked at some of his pictures and it appears in addition to the regrowth of hair on his legs, some is coming back on his face also. It's a wonderful kind of crazy.
So that is what I am toying with. Let's see what the future brings!
