Hey EVeRyBuLLy! My SWiNgiN' MiNi-ME and I have got an ANNOUNCEMENT to make!
Ahem. After many years of intense study and painstaking effort, I have finally attained the coveted status of AKC UTILITY DOG, proving once and for all, to all DoGDoM and their assorted PeOpLeS, that I have mastered the highest level of obedience exercises.
Can't you just see the AwE-iNsPiRiNG iNTeLLeCT & BReAThTaKiNG TaLeNT oozing from my prodigious pores?!!
That brings me to my crafty little caricature here...Mom just presented me with this piece that she commissioned especially for this day from the EsTeEMeD ArTiSTe--WeNdY of BOoGeRViLLe. Mom thought this would be a fitting symbol of my RE-TiRE-MeNT from the show ring. (It DOES look pretty fun, doesn't it?)
Hmmm. I guess it makes perfect sense, because I've been TiReD before and I'm TiReD aGAiN...so, that would make me RE-TiRed, right?!!
I know it can be intimidating when a BuLLy adds all those iMpoRtaNt-SoUNdiNG letters to their names. And now with my BiG oL' name being "International CHAMPION Beefeater's Ode To Joy of SBK-with a CD-a CDX-an RN-topped off with an RA-followed by an RE-and now with the COuP D'eTaT of the Illusive-and-Illustrious-***UD***, capping it all off, you probably think I won't speak to the likes of you down there...But PsSHaWWw!
...I'm still the same Chubbs you've always known me to be. EVeRyBuLLY-N-EVeRyBuDDy's BeSteST FRiENd. So, be sure to come on by for a liver treat, a swim in da pool or a swing on my TiRE--anytime!
And, with that I bid adieu to a fruitful ca-ReAR in obedience...just in time to enjoy those DoG DaYs of SuMMeR ahead!
PS--this accomplishment now makes Chubbs eligible for induction into the BCA Companion Events Hall of Fame where she'll join her Great-Aunt Gracie!
