Dear Mr. Hillmann...

I am trying very hard to do nose-and-toes with my Ram Jet Rocket Dog. She is Sooooo much better than she was. She's steady now. But we can always improve. Now she will automatically reposition herself if she is not sent immediately (I don't release her quickly. We strive to go very slowly.) And now she keeps her toenails behind my heels. But even though my trail shoes are size 10, she has a big snout and she leans forward. She no longer lifts her butt into a launch position. So that's better. But between her leaning, her big nose and my not-as-large-as-they-could be feet... I don't think we'll ever get to the ideal nose-to-toes position.

(Big sigh.)
