"JAMES"
RBIS GCH CH BOREAL'S DOUBLE SHOT OF FUN
BN, OAJ, AX, NAP, NJP, XF, CA
I met James first as an eight-week-old puppy that belonged to my friend Debi Hill. He was a little spit fire. I let Debi know if she ever wanted a spare handler, I would love to as I was betting he was going to be a ball. Debi asked me if instead I would be his only handler. I think we all know what my answer was. Debi told me more than once that the best decision she ever made was allowing me to be Jamie's "agility mom." It is humbling when a friend trusts you that much with a piece of their heart.
When James was available, I would pick him up to go and train with my dogs. He would come over to my house to do some fundamentals and then go back to his mom afterwards. Due to Debi's health she had asked me if anything were to happen to her if I would be willing to take him as she wanted to have him continue to play a game he loves. James lost his mom this past spring and came to live full-time in the house of Labradors. As a credit to both Debi and James's breeder, Mike Frost, he handled the transition very well. I am sure that Debi is still watching our practices and runs as well as laughing her butt off as we work out some of our timing issues. I look forward to entertaining her for many more years because whether he qualifies or not, James always has fun.
