Best Free Stuff on the Net
I am going to have to check this site out in detail. The best free stuff on the net… http://freebies.mutum.org/. I love free stuff. One reason I love WordPress. The web should be free, anyway!
I love the translator information Translate Your Site… I might just have to do this, seeing as I have relatives in Germany, and maybe they would be interested in what I have to say. 
Suncoast Scribe
I am looking at other sites… because it’s fun to do, and I like to meet new people. Checking out http://suncoastscribe.com/, I really like the domain name. I’m a domain name junky… I own 5.. wait no, 6. Oh well.
So ANYWAY.. I do like meeting new people, and so here is a nice new blog that I will check out regularly.
TipTail.com
Woo Hoo! We have a new domain name. I was tired of ‘hex’ witch, it was too negative, and I wanted something happy, cheery, and dog related.
So here we are. www.TipTail.com. Much happier, don’t you think? The old page has a redirect on it… but I won’t renew the domain after July when it expires. I like this one much better.
So please change your bookmarks and links! Thanks!
YIKES of course I didn’t think about my PayPerPosts… or my Alexa Rankings, or my Technochrati, or any of that stuff, before I changed. OOPS.
Oh well, I sent in requests to change, hopefully they’ll catch up! 
Cleaning Up at DOCNA
We had a DOCNA trial this past weekend. And we had FUN!
Levi Q’d 7 out of 10 runs. SEVEN OUT OF TEN! Can you believe it! I am so excited, and so proud of him. I remember too many trials where we have brought home no Q ribbons. Finally we are working together and doing a good job. He even Qd in the National Challenge, which had two sets of weaves. One 12, and one 6. He got them both! He did not get the weaves on the Standard Course after, but I didn’t push it. It was Sunday, after a long weekend. And we were both tired. I no longer take him back through the weaves. If we don’t get them, oh well, we just go on and have a good time. He needs happy weaves, that is the ticket! If he hadn’t fallen off the dog walk on Saturday, we probably would have gotten that one too. Dunno about the falling, both he and Chase fell off it, Chase twice. Levi only once. After toenail trims they seemed better.
Chase Qd 4 out of 10, which wasn’t bad. That Strategic Time Gamble is hard… but both boys got Qs on theirs. Which got them their Beginners Titles. Levi acquired 2 titles, and Chase 3. Sweeeeet! Chase does awesome at gamblers because he is fast, and it doesn’t matter if we get all the obstacles I plan on. And his distance is pretty good, especially if he gets to SUCK into a tunnel.
On Sunday I started a new plan with Chase. He needs to watch me more… pay attention to me more. And so I walked around and changed directions often, and he had to keep up or get left at the end of the leash. I don’t like doing it… but it does cause him to pay attention, and I really do think it helped his runs afterwards. So we are going to practice that at home, and also find more things we can do where he MUST pay attention to me. I think that will help us a great deal in our agility career. And Obedience helps, soo.
I put blog pages together for both Levi and Chase. On the right menu, where it says “more…” after each of their names, you will find them. It has all their titles. Levi has so many now, it’s hard to list them all!
I love dog sports. Bonding with my dogs is the best feeling in the world. My house is a wreck and a mess, but I don’t care. My dogs are happy, and that is more important! Woo Hoo!
Bday Stuff and Dog Stuff
Well, Maybe I should combine all today’s posts into one… but that wouldn’t be nearly as exciting, now would it?
Today is my husband’s birthday. Happy Birthday Honey! He is a wonderful guy. Yesterday, our Anniversary, he even got me a surprise gift. He is so sweet. We hardly exchange anniversary gifts, but I mentioned I wanted a new digital camera, and so he got me one! I really like it!
And now the dog stuff part…
I’m considering not trialing Chase for a while. Because we really, really need to learn how to run together better. And we are not getting better. We are just remaining the same. And in order to get better, I believe we need more training.
This disturbs me. And from what I read, many people have a hard time stopping. Is the addiction? It can’t be from fearing he’ll get bored. We will still do flyball and obedience. It’s just that… his contacts need serious work, and we need to listen better to each other. And so I’m thinking about it.
He is entered through the middle of May. We have a DOCNA trial this weekend. Come next week when I was going to enter the end of May trials… I may rethink it and see how I feel at that point.
Hrm…
Triumph The Dog Ready To Run With Prostheses
Wow…
This story is a horrible tragedy, and an inspiration, all at once. I found a link to this on the Poodle and Dog Blog, and thought I had to write about it myself.

Triumph has been through a horrible ordeal. But now, in Colorado, she has new legs, and a new life. Amazing stuff. She is one lucky dog.
Alexa ranking
I am still attempting to raise my Alexa ranking, and my Google Ranking, too. Since my blog is not really all that popular… I’m looking at my options. Doesn’t everyone in the world just want to come and read my dog stuff and link to me?
I found this article…Take control of your Alexa ranking! Very interesting. So now I have this widget on my toolbar that shows my Alexa ranking. That’s better, I think, than asking everyone I know to install the Alexa toolbar. Heck, I run Firefox, and I do have an Alexa plugin, but just barely got it. And I don’t want more toolbars anyway.
So… just an Alexa thought.
