Oh so early, oh so hot… Heather was the most willing to work. Apart from breaking into a gallop in the 6-12 sweepstakes, she did amazingly well for a pup who is still wet behind the ears. She didn’t make the cut in sweepies, but she won her class, but fell in the Bitch [...] Gemma is getting stir-crazy already. She’s mad-keen to get out the front door, poor girl. However, this was Shadow’s night. Her tryout for Agility training. My expectations were not high after having to give her a stern talking-to about obeying instructions on her morning walk. She refused to come when called. Tonight, she was [...] Isn’t that the fate that awaits a traitor? This morning, I had to wear a different hat on our morning walk because my usual ones were nowhere to be found, including the “Australian Flag” baseball cap I usually wear in the AM. This morning, I discovered why it wasn’t anywhere I looked. I found [...] Oh dear. I’m glad we put the six-trials-and-six-shows in 10 days at the South Coast in the “too hard” basket this year. Between hiring transport for myself and four dogs, accommodation, entries, food, and the sheer logistics of handling two not-entirely, and two entirely trustworthy dogs with no secure yard… it was just too [...] Seasons and bitches is one thing Pepper will never have to concern himself with after getting the snip over a week ago. While he was a bit groggy on the way home that afternoon and swollen for a few days, he had bounced back by the next morning and was wondering why he wasn’t [...] Apart from the obvious constraints that Summer puts on our activities (ie, virtually no shows or trials, having to hide indoors for 8 hours a day to avoid the heat…) there is another season looming. Watching the kids interact, there are early signs that Gemma is approaching her next season. Finn is more interested [...] Good news/Bad news as it commonly happens. The bad news is that we flubbed our run in Agility tonight; Gemma missed the down contact on the dogwalk and the seesaw(?) on her first “official” ADX trial. The good news is that she was surprisingly fast, and she didn’t show any signs of discomfort! Of [...] No, she isn’t a mutant hell-bent on world domination. Now that she has her UD title, she needs five UD qualifications at a score of 185 or better to earn her (much coveted!) “Obedience Champion” (OC) title. Or should I say… she needs four more In one of her best performances to date, [...] Not so successful this time; Gemma remembered what the grounds were like, and wasn’t very enthusiastic about running – she surprised even me, having made allowances for her being slow, so I was wrong-footed and too far ahead on quite a few occasions. Thanks to Ang for taking the shots of her Jumping run; [...] Pepper christened the new Mazda 3 on New Year’s Day with two vomits - the new catch phrase is now ‘zoom zoom blagh’. We went for a late afternoon trip down to Uriarra Xing which as Canberrans will know is about 20 minutes of very windy road. Along with nice swaying shock absorbers what was a [...] |
