Talk about an endurance test! It’s twelve hours to go before it even starts, and I’m exhausted! Angela caught a cold this week, so she had to pull out of running with Finn, so at the eleventh hour, I had to scrounge – somehow – a Canine Association member who wasn’t already entered, and [...] Not far from home today, but a long day nevertheless. I joked with Alan (the Jumping judge) after walking the course… <looks up at the sun in a blue sky.> “Looks like a lovely sunny day with just a chance of title.” Gemma was on top form today. She won her Excellent Jumping class [...] Ang (Pepper’s new ‘mum’) kindly agreed to be Finn’s handler in the official ANKC “Endurance Test” next month. Before inflicting him on an unsuspecting Angela on the day, we agreed it would be a good idea to have a practice run on the same grounds today. I am very proud of my kids (and [...] Around 13 months, Gemma started to ‘get’ heeling. Around 13-14 months, Shadow did the same. Heather’s brain arrived this evening, express post. A week early. She’s still a little terror for the first 20-50 metres (because of the yapping dogs next door stirring her up) but after 100m or so, I unclipped the [...] It’s been a thrill-a-minute here for the last couple of weeks. Shadow did her utmost to convince everyone that she could come into season too; she still has me a little worried that she did, even though it is very unlikely that the bleeding was internal – it was just one symptom of a [...] A lovely day today – good for long walks. Apart from the pocket JATO attached to my waist, that is. (JATO: Jet Assisted Take-Off booster rocket, used to get planes airborne) It does indeed look like the blood from Shadow was nothing to do with her fertility. If she’d been in season, I would [...] Ye gads. I thought we were over this! Over the last few weeks, the firewall machine has burned its way through four different hard disk drives. No sooner was it operational again, and almost fully serviceable… than it threw another hard drive. Not once, not twice, but four times in a row. Needless to [...] It seems that Shadow has fallen for the old ‘converging cycles’ ploy. I’ve been checking her routinely (especially now that Heather is ‘in’) but found nothing unusual, no sign whatever – and certainly no swelling. Today, still no swelling, but Finn is all over her like, well… a bad smell. There is, however, a [...] Heather is still a few days out from the peak of her season, but she’s more swollen than Gemma or Shadow ever were. Shadow has always been a bit of a nymphomaniac, so she’s been playing up to Finn and flirting with him mercilessly. This has been good for me and for Heather, because [...] |
