The most recent AKC trial had 24" weaves, and for the first time, I saw Dancer do single-step weaves. Proof: [caption id="attachment_904" align="aligncenter" width="503" caption="Dancer swims through the weaves: photo by Nina Sage"][/caption]

My favorite agility photographer, Joe Camp, sent along digital files of some photos he took of Elly at the trial last weekend.

The best crate ever…. (Or, my husband is pretty cool)

Monday, June 29th, 2009 Posted in Photos | Comments Off

We moved recently and part of moving is always making stuff fit into the available space. Once I had the chairs and table I wanted in my office, the two crates really made it VERY crowded. Hence, Jay’s solution to the ...

The ZAP NADAC Trial…

[caption id="attachment_406" align="aligncenter" width="360" caption="Dancer Weaves"][/caption] We had a good time at the trial. Dancer was spectacular in Jumpers. She ran at 5.2 yards per second or better in both runs Saturday (with electronic timing)--and most exciting to me was that ...

Elly took second place today in Open Regular, with an excellent speed of 2.97 yards/sec... despite doing the weaves twice (something about the footing). That was the Q needed to complete her Open Regular title in NADAC, thereby giving her ...

My skinny naked dogs

Saturday, February 9th, 2008 Posted in Photos, poodles | 1 Comment »

I took the dogs to the groomer yesterday. I should have taken a "before" picture, because I think Katrina worked a miracle. I gave her two dreadlocked darlings (they could have been badly clipped doodles) with mats in their topknots ...

Snow

Monday, January 28th, 2008 Posted in Photos, poodles | Comments Off

After the cold weather over the weekend abated, we had a warm-ish (40s) Sunday afternoon... and then it snowed overnight last night. The traffic report this morning was full of spun cars and even two jackknifed articulated buses. Cheryl canceled ...
