LSCDF Larry Innerarity, Tom & Ruth with Kelli. This was Tom's first time to handle a dog in the Futurity. LSCDF Rules allowed Ruth to work the gates for Tom. |
As Tom, Ruth & Kelli entered the arena for the first time, they were greeted by a rousting rendition of "Boomer Sooner". I know it was hard for a Texas girl to hear that, Thanks Jan :) |
