Click here for 14 year old Blaze at the dog beach. As usual, things have been busy. Two days of AKC agility! A great CPE trial! Visiting Read more…
Another Camera? Last spring my cannon camera died. I saw it was missing… and later found Blaze had pushed it into the mop bucket. As a result of that experience I looked into waterproof options like GoPro cameras. I purchased one of the basic models, a Hero, and found it Read more…
We’re so busy! May 8 – WCRL Rally – We hosted a trial, I did some judging and I ran Griffin. Viktor was still young enough to get his last leg for his “puppy” title but the only other judge present had given him his first two legs so we Read more…
We got to go to another seminar! Two days this month! The last time I spent this much time at agility seminars was 2005 – yes, 11 years ago. I know I need to go to more agility seminars. This one was to see Steve Schwarz in Youngstown at a Read more…
