Oh how I wish we had the digital cameras of dog trials at polo - could've had some great action shots! Enoy the graininess :) Probably the most fun I have ever had in a group sport. Maybe that is what pulls me to flyball?

I started doing 4H, because more than anything, I wanted to be a farm kid. So I did cooking, horticolture, fiber arts (crossstitch), rabbits, and chickens. The horses came for the last 2 or 3 years of 4H, and I was so in love, I went off to school because I wanted to be an equine repro vet ( Read more... )

I can breathe again? Yes? Ahhhhh.

Redwood's inaugural fun match occurred this morning, and it was amazing. Lovely. Fun. Relaxed. Perfect.

Peach got to be cheered on by her little sister Cider! Aw, it was SO much fun to see Cider and to hang with Barb.

Than we got this.

Love. Love love love. Love Barb, Love Cider. Feeling so lucky to have so many amazing puppy buyers. (Now if only we had gotten a photo of Mira at Brownsville!! :) )

What a perfect debut. 1-ring trial. Low expectations with my low-level of interest in AKC :) I just went out there and did our thing. It turns out, we're on the right track. I love my Peachy Pie, that is for sure.

So all the randomness that is now.

1. I love being married. Nothing has changed yet everything has ( Read more... )

As I was almost going to bed, one last look at my calendar reminded me I had an expiring groupon for a 16x20 canvas print, that was supposed to be slated for some amazing wedding photos, but alas, it was not to be. This companies prices were way too high to not use the groupon immediately, so I knew I needed one of Peach. My wall at the training ( Read more... )

My first gig as a trial secretary went pretty well, much thanks to Julia (and Cheryl) to holding my hand while I learned the ropes. My back appreciates not being chief course builder as well, though going through all jobs (sans hospitality, everyone knows I only would serve carbs and cheese ;) ) has it's values ( Read more... )

I'm sitting at my computer (post lawn mowing, yay I did something!), listening to wedding music, and training the LuLu.

My life feels very random and crazy hectic busy, and when I stop and sit and digest, wonderful.

Of the 3 appliances that broke on the same day a couple of weeks ago, I could fix two of them. The vacuum cleaner had a penny blocking it's passage and the refrigerator had some (snicker) dog hair covering the compressor. But the washing machine was ( Read more... )
