Well, us humans and Lucy are doing okay!  I am very happy to say that we got two whole cans of food down her yesterday. Not all at once, of course.  I threw a can in the blender, then one can of water, and blended it up nice and smooth. Then throughout the day I [...]

Well… Lucy wasn’t doing too well today, either. She wasn’t really regurgitating much, but she was being very weak in the rear. I have been saying for a few weeks now that her rear just looks weak, like she’s wobbly in the back end. So today she was falling over and my husband was nervous [...]

Well, the vet did an ultrasound today, and from that they have determined there is no blockage. Ugh! Would they see something for sure? Even if it’s maybe tape or invisible? My husband took her, and dropped her off, and talked to them.
So if there is no blockage, their next guess is it could be [...]

Lately Lucy has been having some problems. We don’t think she has cancer…. well, the vet doesn’t think so, anyway. Which is good. She probably has calcification of the lungs. Which, really, shouldn’t affect her life.
But the last week or so she has been eating and drinking, and then throwing it [...]

When I do agility, there is a class called Gamblers that is a lot of fun. You have to run your dog around and get as many obstacles as you can, and each obstacle is worth a certain number of points. You want as many points as you can get in the time they [...]

I recruited someone to take these pictures of Chase while I was running him. I don’t like to bug people but I do like to have some pictures! And I had the camera on Manual and I forgot to decrease the ISO setting so they are much too grainy. I need to get some software [...]

Today was a much better agility day with Chase my border collie boy. He did well. I was less stressed because I didn’t have someone else who was counting on us. Instead it was just us for us and that’s a good thing.
Here are a couple of pictures of my [...]

Well, USDAA today… we did teams. Teams is pretty cool in that you run the same courses for all dogs. So there’s not started, advanced, or elite levels. So the courses were pretty challenging. I’ll use that as an excuse for not qualifying. However, Chase does run at the excellent level in [...]

So I have been teaching Tatum some different agility obstacles. I’ve gone over to my friend and trainer’s house a bit and we got her on the teeter there, the dog walk, in the tunnel, and in the chute. I was amazed at how unafraid she was!

So tonight here at home I put her [...]
