Sir Riley of Mihart 01/31/98 – 10/21/10

A piece of my heart is missing. You and I had so many firsts together. You were the first dog that was all mine. You were my first big dog. You were the first dog I ever purposely trained. All I really wanted was a well mannered house dog but we ended up with so many other firsts. I found out how much I enjoyed training but I still wasn’t really sure about competing. So we got talked into our first obedience competition. Everyone laughed at your round about path to a front position and you decided that sitting in front of me was better than sitting across the ring. However 4 tries later we had our first obedience title. Then we went to our first agility trial. Sure enough before long we had our first agility title. You taught me to love agility even though you only did it because you loved me. Because of you I joined the ‘dog world’ and have made so many great friends, enjoyed a hobby that I would have never even thought of before you.

Unfortunately you are also the first to leave me. Rest well my Riley Boy.
