I should probably say it's out the window! I've been to 2 handling classes with Libby and the next 2 weeks they are closed for the holidays but there is a show about an hour away in Jan. I might be able to get one, maybe 2 more handling class in but each time I go, the more I realize I have to learn. I have been to shows as an observer and have watched on tv but actually doing it yourself is so much different! I realize I have A LOT to learn. I was going to enter Libby in a puppy match just for fun. I don't expect to do well... is that a bad attitude to have? She's pretty tiny and also has that habit of carrying her tail down. But I thought more than anything it would be good for me just to get me more used to things. Now I'm starting to feel like I will make a total fool of myself. I'm starting to chicken out! Can anyone give me some good advice here? Am I doing the right thing or should I forget it?
