Chase Loves Agility

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 [...]

Sunday at USDAA

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 [...]

Train More Compete Less

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 [...]

Training Makes Tired

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. [...]

Agility Practice Tonight

I took Levi and Chase out in the drizzle tonight and we had a great time. There was a Steeplechase course set up at a friend’s yard and we went and tried it out! It wasn’t a very hard one, I will admit… but it was fun. Chase did a great job. That [...]

Mini A-Frame and Tatum

Okay so today I only have to work 2 hours, from home, because it’s a holiday week and I get 8 of my 40 as the holiday. Woot. So I brought Tatum out back and we did some work on the little A-Frame my husband and I built a couple of years [...]

Training Plans

First off… this is Kiwi. Isn’t he a doll? I love Kiwi, he lives with a friend of mine from Colorado. This is just a lucky shot, I do think. The weather was bad and there was so much going on this weekend I didn’t get many pictures taken. I needed some shower [...]

Weaves, Articles, Money, Oh My

Well, it’s a three paycheck month for me, which is super nice. Plus I get some oncall pay this coming check, too. So… I’m going to be buying some extra agility and obedience equipment.
I am going to invest in a nice competition set of weaves. Metal base and all. And I think I’m [...]

No Weaving for Levi

Ugh… doing AKC this weekend, AKC agility with my goofy collie boy Levi. And I entered Chase today and tomorrow. Chase did really well. His FAST run was beautiful, except that he fell off the dog walk. I think he was going to fast. But also, many of the dogs fell off, so something was [...]

Doing some Agility

Well, this memorial day weekend I’m going to be doing an AKC agility trial with Levi. And I have Chase entered too, just for Sunday and Monday. Should be fun. Probably will be raining. I hope we don’t get too wet or too cold.
So just a short post ’cause I’m headed out to set [...]
