The end of an era

It was a hard decision, our shared passion for the sport of agility was difficult to let go. But Mojo always tries to run 100 miles per hour and as much as it breaks my heart at 10 years old his body just simply can't keep up with that boundless, infectious enthusiasm. I love my boy more than anything in the world and I will do whatever it takes to keep him safe.

So I retired my heart dog today. Mojo and I danced one last time together, running Jumpers. Just like he always does, he ran his heart out and even qualified. His grin when he was done made it impossible to be too sad. We have had an amazing ride together, 7 years and thousands of runs, he has been the first to achieve many things and has never, NEVER let me down. He has given me everything I have asked for and more. Thank you so much Buddy for being the most amazing partner I will ever have.

This is not the end of our partnership however, we will continue on. I plan on getting back into nosework, something Mo is nearly as passionate about as agility. This dog needs a job and it is my honor and privilege to make sure he has one. And I intend to enjoy every second of this new part of our journey. No matter what we do together, be it agility, nosework, freestyle or just going for a walk, it brings my heart joy. I am celebrating all those moments we have together. I am truly blessed to have him with me and still so full of passion. Let's see what the future holds Dude. I love you to the moon and back.
