Today was the day. Inspection day. The day we have worked so hard for finally arrived. The score we worked so hard for was reduced in 2 swoops from a 99 to a possible 84. A self closing door that lacked 1/32 of an inch from closing completely due to wheel chair damage that was fixed in less than a minute an 8 to 10 point deduction, a fence for decor with two knot holes in it a possible 6 point deduction. What is the lesson in this latest development, I don't know. Devastation and disappointment were overwhelming. It will take us a few days and the arrival of the actual score to move on. I know it shouldn't matter this much, but we put our hearts into it not to mention our blood, sweat and tears, we claimed it as part of our worth.....our score. Next time we need to see the prize differently. The satisfaction of a job well done with the number being secondary to the accomplishment....wish us luck.....yet another lesson to learn......time to teach us dogs a new trick...
I'll score this a............
