Congrats to the 2 of you!

Thanks - I'm pretty happy with the old guy :-)

Congrats and thanks for the description of what was involved. Did Brinny get extra style points for the purple boots?

I love his little purple slippers!

Congratulations to both of you!

[brinian]

They are pretty cute. They're called "Sticky Pawz". Thanks!

Congratulations - how exciting!

[brinian]

Thanks. It's been challenging.

It's challenging in that there are no references for me as a beardie trainer. Brinny works very differently to the hunting dogs that the founders/instructors work, and even to the more predominant ausies and border collies. It's a good training challenge!
