For the Dock Dogs “Most Improved Dog” category of the people’s choice awards!

And a case could certainly be made for little Pico in this category, she went from jumping 11 feet or so at the junior level to her elite title and personal bests of 25′2″ in 8 months.

Now, I have also been nominated for “Most Improved Handler” and I suspect that whoever nominated me for this category has not seen my recent throws!! I’m just thankful that Pico cannot read, as she would be in hysterics laughing at the thought that my throws and handling have improved. As far as Pico is concerned, she is carrying the team and I am merely her personal servant and driver, and a somewhat bumbling one at that.
