This spring has been hard on my physical well being… I do wish I didn’t have to work, then I could rest up and train on the weekends. Spring around here is packed to overflowing with dog sport competitions… agility mostly. This coming weekend I have a USDAA trial and then I don’t have another [...]

This is Maya, she’s an 8 year old border collie on our flyball team. She’s still going strong and is faster than Chase!

I travel a lot with my dogs. In fact, I travel more with my dogs than without my dogs. We usually have to find hotels that will take dogs which, really, hasn’t been too difficult. And it’s nice to see other dogs in the hotels where people pick up poop and take good care of [...]

I got the videos up on YouTube for Tinker’s Flyball Race in singles which got her the fastest Jack Russell Terrier in U-FLI flyball title. I hope she isn’t beaten for quite some time.. actually never! lol. Not sure if you can see the detail of the run, but her start was .004, and her [...]

( EDIT: Well, she’s not the fastest as of this date, the fastest JRT time is actually 4.108, but she can beat that we know it! ) We had a great weekend doing flyball in U-FLI. Long days… Saturday I got up at 5am and got to the tournament site at 6:30am. I wanted to [...]

Yesterday was a busy day. I got maybe three hours of work done in the morning… then the dog things started. And, of course, dog things are more fun that work so work got the back seat. I met my friend for a split private lesson with our obedience instructor. She got to work her [...]

This is Lucy in her bed. Lucy lives with my friend Marie and isn’t she a pretty girl? She fits perfectly in this bed! Well Levi saw Lucy in her bed, and really wanted to fit in it too! I swear he stood in that bed for a good ten minutes trying to figure out [...]

I’m sooo proud of my collie boy Levi. He has had weave poll problems since we started agility way back in 2004. But that’s okay, we have struggled through and we are in AKC Excellent B now, preferred, and we get a ribbon here and there and get by and we have fun. And fun [...]

My house is a zoo… with six dogs and two cats. And who knows how many mice… but the cats are supposed to keep the mice away! I like meeting other people who are as into dogs as I am. Especially those involved in dog sports. And online communities are just fun. So I usually [...]

I am so thrilled! Levi got his CD today in Obedience! Three for three, he qualified all three days. He got a 180 and would have gotten a 189 had he sat on his halts in the heeling. Well, we will work on that for sure! Here he is on YouTube. I fought with the [...]
