MACH Mira  
February 26, 2011

I am so excited and proud, and one day later it still seems surreal. On February 26, 2011 Mira earned her MACH under Tammy Domico and Scott Stock at the Papillon Club of So Cal in Van Nuys, CA. It was a three day trial and Mira needed one double-q for her MACH. Friday was one judge with Scott Stock. I felt luck was on my side, Barley earned his MACH2 under Scott just 2 months ago. She nailed the JWW course and all was going well in standard. All that was left was the a-frame and the finish jump. I got antsy and released her from behind, she spun a circle before the finish jump and I turned around to see Scott holding up his fist for the refusal. Darn darn darn! Saturday comes around and the jumpers course was a challanging one. I was worried, but Mira nailed it! I loved the Standard course after walking it... I kept reminding myself, stay calm, you can do this! If you stay calm, Mira will be calm....... WE DID IT!!!! I was so excited when we finished I almost just left the ring, my friends were cheering and saying go back, Mira was a wild girl thinking her ribbon was a tug toy, so I improvised and convinced her to take the MACH Bar and we had a wonderful victory lap! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!!! Be sure to watch the video, I love it! Thank you to everyone who send nice thank you emails and posts! I am still grinning like a fool!
