Tip Tail

Working from home today, good thing too because going to work was a pain, literally, with my sprained ankle yesterday. So no costume for me or the dogs. Oh well. The dogs prefer not to be dressed up anyway. In Las Vegas at flyball and agility they had costume contests. They were fun and [...]

Well that was fast. I don’t remember what day I sent in Tatum’s ILP pictures and application, but it was only a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t think she’d have a problem with her ILP but you just never know.
So she is now official with the AKC. I’ll get her flyball numbers in [...]

Ugh! My dogs won’t be dressed up for Halloween! Levi got orange spray on his tail at the agility trial, but that’s all. And Chase got his feet orange, but it came off too quickly.
I won’t be doing anything for Halloween this year, not with my sprained ankle. I do want to give out candy [...]

Me and the boys are home. My ankle hurts so bad I can’t walk on it. Or put any weight on it. I twisted it on Saturday. I remember going onto the course fine, coming off and it hurt. Sunday it really took it’s toll on our runs so no Q. I drove [...]

I am beat dead tired. Ugh. Levi Qd in Open FAST, which is, I think, his title. Will have to check. Chase also Qd in Novice FAST, which is also his title, I think. Chase also qualified in open JWW, that’s his first open jumpers leg. Beautiful run, I got about 5 comments on [...]

Well today was the first day of the 3 day agility trial. It went too slow, for 33 dogs in Excellent Standard. But oh well, I don’t have much else to do.
Levi did pretty good but didn’t weave for me. I wonder if staying in a hotel for a week doesn’t’ let him relax like [...]

I took Chase and Levi on a little hike to Arizona, across the Hoover Dam earlier in the week. It was a long drive and the hike tired Levi out too much. It was just as fun as some caribbean cruises I think, though. I love getting out in the autumn [...]

I love Lake Mead. Many good memories. Of my husband and I when we started to get together. I loved sailing the lake and camping out on the sailboat. So peaceful and wonderful. I took the boys to Echo Bay and they posed, under duress, for a picture. Not really [...]

Well, you know, border collies get bored easily. Chase keeps nosing me and staring at me wanting to go do something. You know, staying in a hotel means we get to do fun things!
I wonder how close Lake Mead is. I might ask at the front desk and see if we can find a [...]

OOoo I so want to go! I wish Levi was better at herding but maybe I’ll see if he’s up to getting on some sheep.
Wags 4 Wishes in Arizona (near Phoenix) in January. 18, 19 and 20th. Long drive, 700 miles, but not much different than camp. And my husband might want to [...]
