goofiness

Yes I was in my bathroom when I took this clip, but I was NOT using the toilet...I sit on the closed throne to paint my toenails...there's a window right there and I can put my foot up on the tub...it's the room with the best light in my house...but of course, Triumph follows me in there with a toy so I took advantage of this Kodak moment...he is without a doubt the goofiest, silliest, sweetest dog in the world...speaking of sweet, notice Burn standing there in the doorway :)))

just a little training

Over the Fourth of July weekend, my friend Neta and I went to work with Gabrielle Blackburn...she had set up some very difficult International Style sequences...I initially went some help with Triumph's jumping, but as it turned out, he was jumping very nicely so we worked more on handling instead...here's a movie clip I put together of the time we spent training that morning...

a number

Okay so this is totally off the subject of dog training...on December 31, 2011, I turned 50 - AAAKKKKK - I hated the thought of that number and the sound of it but now that I think about it, it really was just another day and I felt no different that day and haven't any day over the last 7 months...until today...

Today I am prepping for that test that everyone's supposed to have when they reach the ripe old age of FIFTY (50)...that "c" test...a colonoscopy...OMG I thought I'd never be old enough for that but here I am...

Everyone says that the prepping day is worse than the actual procedure itself...okay I believe it so I guess I am looking forward to tomorrow...right!!!

very HOT!

we did a little training in my backyard this morning and played on this sequence that I borrowed off of Tori's blog...tough weave entries and such...it was very hot out so we only got through 2 of the sequences...will work through the others later when it's cooler...below are two takes...

DACOF 2011 - Results and Movie!

I posted earlier about DACOF and how we did, etc.  Below are the actual results as posted on the DACOF yahoo list - and although I have only "made" 3 movies in my life, I spent most of the Fourth of July holiday weekend working on putting together a "movie" of the Fast Friends team - I only wish I could have gotten every dog on my team on my camera, but it just wasn't possible...next year we'll have to hire a personal team videographer!!! 

Anyway, here's my third attempt at making an agility movie - it's long but the music is good and so are the dogs :)))
