Okay.. don’t let Levi near a fire!  Well, he’s probably safe now, but after we came home and discovered he’d eaten three boxes of microwave popcorn… that’s three whole boxes with about four bags in each, I was thinking he might pop, literally, if we got him close to any heat!
So to the right is [...]

Okay I know I know it’s not like I don’t do regular training with my dogs, but I’m excited because Tatum is going to be going to regular obedience and agility classes soon. Probably with the start of April. Should be fun.
Levi’s obedience is winding down, he’ll still do ASCA which will be fun.  And [...]

Well, back from another agility weekend. We had a DOCNA trial and it was a lot of fun. Chase did great, he loves the wide open courses. Levi also did great. Levi Q’d in three out of his four runs. He loves jumping at 16″. When he’s 10 years old, he can run [...]

It’s tough having three old dogs in the house. Of course we love them all, and it’s not like we have to spend  lot of time exercising them and doing lots of things with them. However, as they age, we have to spend more on medical care. And make sure they get high quality food, [...]

Levi was limping a week ago when I took him to obedience practice.  It was odd, because he hasn’t shown any lameness before that.  But he had been a bit low energy.
So my husband took him to our vet. They moved his legs around and he even yelped because it hurt, poor guy!  She said [...]

Whew! What a weekend! I am dead tired. At the end of the first day I thought having a 3 day ASCA trial was a great idea (ASCA  is Australian Shepherd Club of America). However, today, after the third day was over, I think two days are better!  I’m dead tired. So are my dogs, [...]

Here are Levi’s runs from agility last weekend. He’s such a good boy and I love running him still. We have been doing agility for five years now. Wow, five years! I don’t even know what I did before agility. I must have had a ton of time!

Levi is 9, he’ll be 10 in November, [...]

Well, I haven’t been posting this weekend because I’ve been doing agility with Levi and Chase. I wanted to see how Levi was going to do this year with his weaves… and Friday wasn’t too good. His course was okay, not perfect, but not as bad as it was last June. Though I’ve been told [...]

Well today was bath day. It was between bathing the dogs, and cleaning the kitchen, and bathing the dogs won out! And it’s a good thing, too. Lucy was the dirtiest. The water ran off her very, very brown! We haven’t given her a bath for a while because of her [...]

Levi is such a good boy! He is getting up there in age.. he turned 9 this last November 5th.  And he tires out pretty quickly. Much more quickly than he used to. And I watched dogs younger than him at the agility trial who were stiff and sore and really shouldn’t be running anymore.

In [...]
