Tip Tail

Did ASCA agility today with Chase.  Dragged my body out of my sick bed. Ugh.  We had fun though. I still want a higher Q rate.  Out of six runs he only got one Q. Fortunately that was in Standard Novice and he needed that for his title. So I’m glad he got it.
Here’s one [...]

Sunday Morning I went with some friends and did some agility training. I’m kinda pissed at the AKC courses because they are so hard for me to handle with Chase. But I’m learning. And these training sessions have been invaluable to me. A friend got a course map from Agility Nerd and we [...]

Well, we had another great flyball weekend. I’m still recovering… since I have Candida, most likely have Lyme, and my Mono might still be lingering, I have a hard time recovering myself.  The dogs bounce right back, of course.
I took Chase, Levi and Jet. Chase was the only racer. Levi came because he’s been [...]

I am so proud of Chase! He did awesome last weekend at the AKC obedience trial. He got his CD in three days! They had three different judges and he qualified all three days! His score was good, too. He had some no-sits which is 3 points off for each. So had he sat every [...]

So I got a new little camcorder. It’s an RCA EZ300HD… which means, yes, it’s HD. Yay! It’s not the best quality HD in the world but it’s better than my other camcorder that records to DVD. This one doesn’t have all the options needed for agility recording, but it’s gonna be great [...]

So I’ve been competing and training in agility for, oh, about five years now. Levi was my first agility dog, and he’s a collie, a bit long in the body and not very flexible. He is just about retired… and my new agility dog is Chase, a border collie. Chase is very flexible and [...]

I don’t want to go into detail yet about what kind of puppy, as I want to make sure everything is going to work out. But I can’t help talking about it.
It’s a boy, and I’m thinking of naming him Jet. I have wanted a small dog for quite some time. And if [...]

I am so thrilled with Chase’s first obedience trial! Levi, Chase and I went to an ASCA obedience trial today. I was nervous… I always get more nervous in obedience than in agility. But the boys did great. Levi got his first open Q… his first leg towards his CDX! I was happy, though [...]

I went to an ASCA agility trial today with Chase. I’ve been really sick lately and I haven’t been doing much, and I didn’t feel up to taking any of the other dogs. I only entered Chase and so just brought him.
He did really well. Unfortunately I couldn’t run fast enough or cue [...]

Well, my Husband took Muffit and Chase to the park yesterday and Chase blew his pad.  Poor boy. He has the most sensitive feet.
So this evening we put some Vitamin E on his pad, put on gauze (okay it’s a band aid, LOL) and then wrapped his foot with vet wrap (notice the blue, our [...]
