  Nothing went as planned, but the girls were fine. It was my nervousness that excited Grace, but we reached reached 209 pints at the end and a "very good", Daisy and me made two faults in sending away into the box and distance control, where we had two "zeros", so we ended up with 195 points and a "good".

  Beverly, you foundation bitch of my breeding.
  
  Have tought me everything and forgave me all my faults.
  
  I owe you everything, you was a close friend over the years.
  
  You looked so young until a high age, only in the last year your hearing and your sight went down and you lived in your own world, that condition was not worthy yourself.
  
  You are reunited with your grandson Tally again and I'm sure, he prepared a flock of sheep when you came down the other side of the rainbow for your welcome.
  
  An Era is over, sleep well, my dear friend.
  
  Thank you for a great time together!
