Okay yeah I’m a nut. Jet is not ready to be racing in Flyball… but I’ve been itching to enter him in something. LOL. So on Friday, a fun surprise happened, and they were accepting day of show entries for Singles and Pairs at the U-FLI Flyball Tournament! Well of course I had to enter him. LOL So now I’m watching the video and I’m thinking that he’s really hitting the box with his shoulders, and he’s not hitting it… Continue reading
A weekend with the boys is awesome. I do wish that I could bring Levi too… and even Tatum, because they love to travel and the do so good at it. But the van is only so big and so some have to stay home. As this posts I am still, yet again, at flyball. But I love spending time with Jet and Chase and having a stress-free competition weekend. I don’t stress at flyball. Not like agility or obedience.… Continue reading
This weekend we have a 2 day ASCA agility trial. Should be fun. Chase and I are ready, since we had fun at DOCNA and the courses are similar. Nice and wide open with lots of room for Chase to stretch out and extend over jumps. It’s what he’s good at. Maybe we’ll be lucky and get some ATCh points while we are at it. I even forgot if he’s got all his Elite titles in ASCA. I don’t think… Continue reading
Well we had fun at DOCNA Championships in Grand Junction, Colorado! Chase was a good boy and did good. I only got made at him… err… I think once. LOL that is pretty good for me. He can really push my buttons, that boy. And he’s so fast, if he blows me off it can really irk me. But he did good, even though he dropped a couple of bars. And there was some serious competition in the 20″ class.… Continue reading
Well, tomorrow I’m headed off with Chase to the DOCNA Agility Championships! I’m pretty excited that he qualified this year. We’ve never been to a Championships before so I think it’ll be fun. It’s going to be in Grand Junction, Colorado, which is pretty close. It’s only 5 hours from us. And we’ll be stopping in Richfield to pick up my friend Marie and her dog Zoe. As they qualified too and we’re gonna have a fun trip! This pictures… Continue reading
Chase Resting
Well, my goofy Border Collie boy, Chase, got a new U-FLI flyball title last weekend. He reached is 9,500 points mark and now he has his Top Flight Premier Title. Woo! This is much happier to think about than Angel, like my last post… however, thinking of Angel kinda makes me happy too, since I am so grateful she was part of my life. Dang there’s those darn tears again.
So anyway Chase loves flyball. He even held a Stand Stay in the lanes when I had to go talk to the box loader. LOL he’s a goof. It was hard for him and I didn’t make him wait long. Flyball is Chase’s favorite sport by far. Not much thinking, just flat our running in super high drive. I don’t think he’d do very well in medical assistant school even though he’s a Border Collie and is probably smart enough for it. 
So flyball was fun. The weekend of the 24-27th we’ll be in Grand Junction, Colorado, for the DOCNA agility championships. That’ll be fun too. Then in October we are going to the Jumps N Jackpots Flyball Tournament held by Touch N Go. That will also be fun. No obedience for a while, much to Chase’s happiness!
Four Pups
I’ve been looking at old pictures lately… I have my Macbook set up to use my photo folders as my screen saver. It’s a dangerous thing… because I can just sit and watch it for hours. 
Well maybe not hours, but for a good long time that’s for sure.
Makes me think about term life insurance and getting old and stuff. Especially since many of the pictures have Angel in them. And yeah I still cry quite often because she’s gone and I’ll never see her in this life again. It still makes me sad. Though I know she’s not in pain anymore. And I have to remember her when she was alive and happy and full of life.
Anyway, so this picture is of me and my husband and the four we had at the time… Lucy, Levi, Angel and Chase. Boy did Chase look out of place with the three smooth blue collies. LOL. Now we have more different breeds so he fits in a bit better. 
This weekend I tried Chase in an AKC agility trial. It’s the first one I’ve put him in, probably in about 10 months. We have a really hard time qualifying in AKC because of the tight courses. I wanted to test my handling since we’ve been going to a lot of Stacy Workshops over the last few months, to see if I’d gotten any better. The good news, yes I’ve gotten a lot better. The bad news, I haven’t gotten… Continue reading
