I guess the reason I'm bothered by having no one here is that's the way it's been all my life. Even growing up in horses, no one was ever there for the big important horse shows, or art shows, or anything. This one thing that was so important to me was something I wanted more than anything to have someone there for me and again I spend it alone.
I know it sucks to have the big events pass by without the support/attendance of people who are important to you. I know it doesn't really help, but I was thinking of you since I read your post - in fact, it's 1:00 a.m. here and I came on the forum specifically to see if there was a video I could watch!
This is a huge accomplishment for both of you - don't let the absence of other people ruin your moment of glory.
Many hugs headed your way, and I hope tomorrow is a great day for you and your dogs.

. Also it sucks that Brandon couldn't be there but despite that, at least you will have a chance to celebrate it all over again when he is back.
