Finghin's Time Bandit FCh, SC
We got Bridget from Elaine and Sean McMichael in June of 2003 when she was 10 weeks old. I remember Bruce sitting down on Elaine’s couch shortly after we arrived and Bridget immediately springing like an oversized grasshopper into his lap. She has been his whippet from that moment on. Bridget was so good on the 2 day car ride back to Boston. The first night in a motel she snuggled her tiny body right up next to Papa Bruce and slept through the night. We could not have asked for an easier puppy to raise. Bruce has done all of her obedience training, so needless to say, she works with enviable enthusiasm and precision. We began her lure coursing career in the fall of 2004. The most memorable event to date is when Bruce took her to the 2005 International Invitational (I.I.) in Kelly’s Ford, Virginia. It was the first I.I. for both of them. Our initial plans to rent a motor home and make a summer vacation out of the trip were derailed when Chance was diagnosed with cancer. Bruce decided at the last minute to load up the gear in our small pick up truck and head to Virginia with Bridget. The first day of the trial, Bruce was delighted when Bridget placed 3rd in her stake, but he never anticipated that the following day she would be bringing home a medal and the longest blue ribbon he had ever seen for 1st place in the Open Division. Bridget has brought home many blue ribbons since then, but none will be as special as the first trip to the I.I. We are grateful to Elaine for selecting this amazing whippet for us from the Bubba x Gwena Time litter.
