Finally home after a trial, a trip to Kansas, and another trial. I'm exhausted. I had a good time with my sister, however, and enjoyed seeing my brother and his wife and one of my nephews. Dancer has been doing very ...

CAT NADAC Trial

Monday, May 9th, 2011 Posted in agility titles, trials | Comments Off

Outside in the rain, on wet grass and mud. In the sun. In the drizzle. In the hail. In the rain. It was weird, cyclic weather that went on and on. From one minute to the next, it was impossible ...

WAG NADAC Trial…

Monday, October 25th, 2010 Posted in agility titles, training, trials | Comments Off

Weekend report…

Sunday, September 12th, 2010 Posted in agility titles, training, trials | Comments Off

I took the girls to the Columbia Agility Team NADAC trial, just a short drive away. What a luxury, to sleep until 6:30 and still be at the trial before 8! It was an astonishingly good weekend. Dancer got THREE Qs in ...

It was 97 flippin' degrees at the end of the day on Sunday. Why I stayed, I'm not sure. Elly didn't run, and Dancer Qd in only three of 12 runs, but parts of the weekend were excellent. Dancer Qd in ...

Four Paws Fur Fun CPE trial

Monday, July 26th, 2010 Posted in agility titles, life with poodles, training, trials | Comments Off

I'll just say that level one CPE has really low standards. Dancer Qd in 9 out of 10 runs; Elly Qd in 3 of 5. Elly had a pretty good weekend, feeling good enough that she did four runs with ...

Ten years?!

Friday, May 28th, 2010 Posted in agility titles, training, trials | Comments Off

A couple of months ago I heard an interview on the radio. Can't remember a lot about it (and can't seem to find it on Google) except... the interviewee talked at some length about the need for ten years of ...

It took me quite a while to figure out what I wanted to do with the ribbons, photos, and certificates that go along with doing agility, but I finally decided. I hang them up in the laundry room. That way ...
