Lovin’ Flyball

Our flyball weekend was awesome. Chase had a great time and did wonderful. The name of his team was Thunder Paws Swift Step. Our seed time was a bit slow for the division we were in, but would have been a bit fast for the other division. So we didn’t win many races. But on Sunday we did come in 4th place.

Our other two teams did great. Thunder Paws Don’t Blink tied for first with the Utah Tail Blazers in their division. However the Tail Blazers won because their time was faster. We were happy to take 2nd!

It was Chase’s first tournament, U-FLI, and he got his Top Flight pin, his TF level I, TF Level II, and even his TF Level III! He ended the weekend with 1060 points! And he had such a great time, he loved it, and did really well! And his Mom was even figuring out passes. :)

I have only one video uploaded to YouTube so far, I’ve embedded it below.

Uploading Videos

Today I am uploading videos to YouTube. Actually, I just bought, and am downloading, Roxio. I really need a good video editor and creator, and from what I have read Roxio and Nero are the two most popular, and best. I like the specs of Roxio so I bought it. So I should be able to burn some nice DVDs of all these videos. I should send some to Hudson’s old foster mom, too, and Bianca’s. :)

Here is Chase playing with Tatum and Bianca. I’m so glad to see Chase playing!

Herding at Camp

Chase Sheep 1Okay, I got a sweater on and some Levi’s and now I’m warmer. It’s cool in the shade. It’s 5:38 pm here at camp, dinner is at 6 so I better get done soon! My YouTube video is 90% done, so hopefully that will finish off soon. And here are some more pictures, these from herding. Two of Chase on the sheep and goats, and two of Levi.

Chase Sheep 2These are from Monday. Tuesday we didn’t have a still camera with, but Monday we did. We took more videos on Tuesday and when I get home I’ll load them up. The connection here at camp is too slow to upload. It’s barely enough to get these pictures uploaded.

Levi Sheep 1Chase is loving swimming in the Lake, again, Of course. The waves were really big just now, so I was worried about throwing the toy in too far. He is good and he handles the waves well, but I am afraid he’s going to go under and not come back up.

Levi Sheep 2We have not done much else yet except swim in the lake and herd. I want to do some more obedience this year. Maybe tomorrow. I think the boys are done herding. Levi had a hitch in his step today when herding, and it’s hot for him, and he’s already tired. He could sleep the rest of the week and be happy with it. Chase is not done, not even close, and chases Cor around like a wild child.

Media for the CamCorder

As ya’ll probably know, I bought a camcorder a couple of months ago to video the dogs in agility, flyball, practice, etc. And I got this sweet new laptop, too. So I can burn the videos onto DVD and pass them out to my friends. Well, this laptop has a LightScribe disk, so I can also burn labels onto the disks, it’s very cool. I need to find a good place to buy the LightScribe disks and cd storage at a a good price for my camcorder!

I think the Super Media Store might be it. They sell LightScribe disks, too. Now I have to figure out why my minidisks, which are DVD-R, won’t do a straight copy to the LightScribe disks, which are DVD+R. Anyone know why that might be?

Chase doing ASCA

Okay.. here is a video of Chase doing ASCA agility. I was very pleased with him. We had some communication issues, but they were my fault. I think he was calm, controlled, fast, and did a good job. What do you think? He hasn’t trialed in four months, we have been working on focus and attention and building his brain so he thinks. :)

ASCA Collie Agility

So! We went to a day of ASCA agility today. It was a lot of fun. We just did it for fun and training, and only today, and only a few of the runs. I wanted to give Levi fun runs with no weaves, and I wanted to see how Chase’s training has been going. This video probably won’t be available for a half our or so as YouTube gets it going. But I have the insertion code so I thought I’d put it in.

Anyway, Levi Q’d 3 out of 3 runs. One elite jumpers (this video) and two open gamblers. Which means, I think, he can move to elite gamblers next time. He is such a good boy, moved fast, and had fun.

Chase did a great job, too. He paid attention, he got all his contacts, and we worked well together. I was very pleased. We’ll see how we do at training class next time and see how much of his brain he looses again. Hopefully not much. Both his runs were good and his second wasn’t any more wild than the first. I’ll get his videos uploaded later… his is on another minidisc in the camera.

So here is Levi!

Now if only I can go shopping and get some Century furniture, I need dressers because we have so little clothing space in our house.

Video of Faith

Okay and Chase is in there, too, at the end. :) It’s always nice to see these dogs in motion, isn’t it? I think sometimes that pictures just don’t do them justice. I just took this in the back yard. It’s hot out there, probably over 100 degrees, but there are clouds and wind moving in, so maybe we’ll have a bit of rain. Would be a nice break.

We have a Q!

Woo Hoo! Levi is back and doing well. He Q’d in Excellent B Standard today. Nice run! Just beautiful. Weaves were a bit slow but he got them all. I was so proud. His limp seems to be gone or mostly gone. Gone enough that it doesn’t bother him. I see it a bit sometimes still, but it’s hard to catch. And he didn’t do any refusals or anything that suggests he’s in pain so I ran him in Jumpers, too.

He would have Qd in jumpers but he stuttered his weaves. So I tried clapping half way through… and oh my goodness he picked up so well and got the rest! I will be clapping tomorrow to see if it helps him through the weaves some.

It’s late, 10:03 pm, and I’m dead tired. No videos today, maybe tomorrow. ;) Good night!

With all this running around, I won’t be needing any Ephedra. :)
