  • All Clear

    Dylan officially has the all-clear, as of yesterday, and so I’m looking forward to Tailwaggers tomorrow! It looks like the Novice Plus classes are going to be quite competitive, they’re double the size of last years so I’m just hoping to get Dylan around the courses with the same enthusiasm he’s been showing lately.
