Vickey’s Blue Sky Forever, UD, AX, AXJ, AD “Blue”

“My little Blue dog was one of life’s greatest teachers. He taught me far more than books or professors. The lesson I’m most grateful for is the truth about competition. Blue helped me to realize that competition isn’t about winning your class, achieving a title, or collecting trivial ribbons. It’s about the attitude with which your arrive, engage, and depart. It’s about relationships, both canine and human. It’s about celebrating the victories of others, encouraging those who are frustrated , striving to understand, and excelling with compassion! Blue’s ability to challenge me to discover these truths and become a better human is what makes him truly special and unforgettable. His lessons about love and life will remain in my heart forever.”
