Poodles, Dog Agility, Dog Training… and Knitting

How do you explain to non-dog people why you do agility?

February 28th, 2008 Posted in poodles, trials

I had dinner tonight with some friends and some friends of friends. Everyone but me fond of cycling.

“Do you go cycling with Jay?”

“No, I can’t keep up with him.”

“Oh, get a tandem.”

“No, I spend my weekends at dog agility competitions.”

“You do what?”

“I compete in a dog sport with my poodles.”

“You do what?”

“Agility. It exercises the body and the brain, and it’s all over in 60 seconds and I don’t get any chafing from the bicycle seat. I love it.”

“You do what?”

I gave up trying to explain.
