I Think Tatum Is Getting Better

Tatum and Jet

Well I think Tatum is getting better. I’ve been worried sick about her for days now, so much so that I haven’t been able to sleep well. It’s been a week since I got home and she acted spooked and afraid. Last night, Tuesday, I went home from work early and fed the pack. Then took Jet and Tatum for a walk to see if Tatum would poop. And, fortunately, she did. The vet, on Monday, took an ultrasound and… Continue reading »

Worried about Tatum

smooth collie

I am worried about Tatum. Last week, it was Tuesday, when I got home from work, she was acting very spooky. She was not her normal usual sassy self. It was as though she was really scared. And unlike her fearfullness when we got her, she was afraid at home. And she’s never been afraid at home. So then Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, she’d go through periods where she would pace and sometimes whine. Or just lay down and whine.… Continue reading »

From Flyball to Obedience to Agility

Jet on the Beach

Well flyball is done for a bit… though not for too long, since we have a tournament in May that we are going to go to as well. But the next things are obedience and agility the first weekend of May. Jet is entered into his first Obedience trial. It’s AKC and it’s going to be on Thursday May 5.. errr, I think it’s the 5th. Is that a Thursday? Whatever. I think it is. He’ll be in Novice B… Continue reading »

Tatum Ran!

I am so thrilled with Tatum last weekend! She ran at agility! It was the first time she actually ran at a trial. Usually she does her silly trot. Here is a video of her. I got more video, but I’m having problems getting it off the card, so I’m working on that. She only got 1 Q, in Novice Standard, but that’s okay. She kinda forgot how to weave. But I think it’s more that it’s hard for her… Continue reading »

Jet’s First Agility Trial Tomorrow!

Silly Jet

Okay, I’m pretty nervous. I hope I can sleep tonight. LOL. The funny thing is, Levi’s first agility trial was in February too. I think it was 2005… but actually I think it was 2004. I’ll have to check. I was so nervous I was in the bathroom half the trial! I did volunteer to work it though, even my first trial. It was fun. Now, six years later, I’m starting Jet. It’s an ASCA trial and he’s fully entered.… Continue reading »

ASCA Agility Weekend!

Tatum and Jet

Well, this weekend should be fun! It’s Jet’s first agility trial ever! He’s fully entered into an ASCA agility trial. Both Saturday and Sunday. Usually I’ll put a new dog in for just a couple of runs. But he’s doing so well in training, and has so much energy, that I fully entered him. Six runs a day both days. I sure hope he’s tired when we get home! When he’s tired, he’s less likely to get the bathroom rugs… Continue reading »

Tatum Got 2 Qs!

VideoInThisPost

She did it! My sweet Tatum collie girl did two agility runs in AKC agility today and she qualified both times! I am thrilled! I want to go do more agility with her now. But it’s okay that we only entered one day. This evening she has crashed on her favorite comfy bed and hasn’t moved since dinner. It’s a lot of work for a rescue collie girl with a hundred issues! This was Tatum’s first run. She can go… Continue reading »

Tatum and Sonny

Tatum and Sonny

Well as this is posted I’m up running Tatum in agility! I just wanted to post this cute picture of Tatum and her friend Sonny. Sonny lives up north of us and we haven’t seen him in a while, but he’s a very handsome smooth sable collie boy! Tatum really liked him. I hope to post again tonight, maybe with some videos of Tatum. I don’t know who I’ll get to ask to video, but hopefully someone. Gotta have some… Continue reading »
