Tip Tail

Jet came with to the agility trial last weekend and he had a great time. He is such a good boy. I hope he stays a puppy for a while… he is my baby boy and he is so friendly and loves everyone. He does think that he should bark at the buffalo, though. [...]

Whenever we get a new dog in our house, and usually when he’s a bit insecure and worried about his new place like Titus is, I always go back to realizing what is most important in life.
It’s not things of any kind, or cross country movers, or houses or money or toys or glasses [...]

So it’s been a nice lazy weekend so far. I went and did some agility training last Friday with Tatum. Brought Jet along too for some crate games and recalls and fun. He rolled in the dirt and got nice and brown, of course.
Tatum did really well. She likes 12″ jumps [...]

I have to admit… as much as I love the dog sports, it’s nice to have some snow outside on the ground… it’s a good excuse to stay home and not compete or train quite as much as I have been. Summer just gets too full of dog sports sometimes and I need a break.  [...]

I am, actually, really excited to just stay home! I don’t have any trips planned for the next three months. Yay! I have travel clear across the country twice this year, going back east first to pick up Jet in July, and again in October to take him to the dog show. They were [...]

Went to flyball last weekend and had a great time. It’s the annual Jumps and Jackpots put on by Touch N Go Flyball Team from Las Vegas, Nevada. They have it in Utah because there’s a really nice location here which is easier to us because we don’t have to drive so far.
I put this [...]

So we have some guests this week. They are sweethearts. We have watched Chip the Sheltie before, but we haven’t met his new sister Tinkerbell, who is one week older than Jet. And though I’ve met Vito, the sweet Papillion boy, this is the first time he gets to spend with us. I’ll post [...]

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 [...]

So I’ve been thinking lately that dealing with rescue dogs is like dealing with the dredges of humanity.  I worked in Welfare for nine and a half years. It wasn’t really all that bad, but I did get burned out, and I did tend to think everyone was like welfare recipients.  Many of the people [...]

Well since the couch is now gone to the dump (yay!) we need something upstairs in our living room that the dogs can lay on. So we are going to make some dog beds. I went and bought some fleece the other day, isn’t it cute? Blue with doggies, and the pink is [...]
