Mad Dog Metalworks Crate Tag Review
I was waiting until Devi offered the crate tags in her store to share this awesomeness:

"You electrify my life..." (and cell phone videos aren't the best quality)
I'm pretty sure that Zing's qualified for nats. I just need to count my points. :) Fy's in Excellent and Glee's in Open. One of Fy's runs is at the end ( Read more... ) -
Seven Months!
The puppies are seven months old.... and usually one still gets me up in the middle of the night to go outside. ;) I can't wait until they're adults. I don't have any regrets and am crazy about them. (Even when Dru is totally being a girl dog.) Both puppies seem to have really nice drive/focus. They're a bit small, Dru's barely bigger than ( Read more... ) -
Exploring FL's Trails
I was in a blah sort of mood a couple weeks ago, which is very unlike me. I'm lucky enough to have an absolutely awesome life (imo- which, in this case, is the only one that matters). My self-prescribed cure was to take the dogs hiking everyday. I've always considered FL a flat, hot, boring state filled with biting/stinging bugs and slow drivers ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
The highlight of last weekend was running Glee at the fun match. Her contacts were decent, her weaves were really nice, and she would have qualified in T2B. She had a couple bars in STD and she's never seen a chute because I don't own one. I might need to make one for her.
Hitman didn't qualify, but he had some nice parts in his runs. Zing had ( Read more... ) -
Training Week
Hitman got an Excellent Jumpers Q a couple weeks ago. It's probably time that I actually started contact training haha. Contacts are a great winter project. I told myself that last year, too.
Gleeky kind of has contacts, which is definitely a miracle. They still need lots of work. She didn't want anything to do with the teeter or dog-walk for a ( Read more... ) -
I'm back and ready to go!
Since Zing tied for third place in Steeplechase Semi-Finals, I got to watch almost all of the 22" class. The finals course was obviously a straightforward speed course, with just two places that really required a tighter turn. I'm not sure to blame it on a NyQuil overdose or the ultimate high: the entire run was a blur and I can't really remember ( Read more... ) -
USDAA Nationals
Driving to Denver from FL is not the best idea with puppies. They were really good until the last day; they were tired of being in a crate!
I spent Tuesday having crazy adventures in Estes Park with some cool dog people before check-in. Wednesday's warm up run was last years Grand Prix finals course. Zing knocked a bar, which made me a little ( Read more... ) -
SO EXCITED!
I got LIGHTS for my agility field! I've been wanting lights for almost two years and tonight I could finally work my dogs at night! I needed them because it's getting darker sooner. I basically couldn't teach night classes without them.
Getting them was so stressful; the guys finished 20 minutes before class started tonight! The workers have ( Read more... )
