It won't be pretty as both of us are still very rough, but I think we'll have a great day out and I get to dress up for the first time ever! Woo!<br /><br />Thanks for the post on Stretching - my Appy thinks she's an Arab and likes to run around like a giraffe. My instructor uses the "real deep, real round" to teach stretch, and I haven't been able to shake the whole "is this really how to do it?" feeling - but it's working, and I think what you've described is how I'm being taught. Great to see it validated!<br /><br />Best of luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
